Wedding Wednesday: The Ruffle Cake

I remember the first ruffle cake I designed for a bride just after we had opened about two years ago and to this day it is one of my favorite wedding cakes. This bride wanted something elegant, different, and with a touch of color- but other than that had no idea what she wanted. After, discussing a few options this what I can up with...

What I love about this cake is that it is simple and yet unique at the same time. The texture to the ruffles gives the cake demention that smooth buttercream cakes just don't have.  The touch of yellow in the ombre gives the cake a modern touch without being overwhelming. I love fresh flowers on a wedding cake and the ruffle cake provides a great base for it. This wedding cake is simply stunning and ever since we have done it many brides have chosen a ruffle cake based on this picture and made it their own. Check out some of the ruffle cakes we have done through out the year. 

This version included a gum paste
 flower in bright colors.

Even in ivory this cake is beautiful!

Not all wedding cakes have to be white!

Even silk flowers look great on a ruffle cake!

An accent tier in ruffle add a pop of texture to a smooth cake.

The ruffle cake is so pretty...it can stand alone!
