Simplistic Wedding Design

These days, wedding cakes don’t have to be iced with white buttercream and adorned with white ruffles, flowers, etc.  You can go bonkers with the decorations!  Here’s a great example of a wedding cake that’s totally out-of-the-box.

But just because you don’t HAVE to have the traditional white wedding cake doesn’t mean you can’t if you want to.  A couple of weeks ago, we created a cake for Kristina and Rich for their wedding at the Bilmar Beach Resort on Treasure Island, FL.

Kristina wanted to keep the cake clean and simple.  And she wanted to incorporate pink and some sparkle!  Truly a cake with clean lines and no clutter! Just what Kristina wanted - white, pink, and a little sparkle!

Beach-Themed Elegant Wedding Cake

This cake is a real beauty!  The bride and her Mom found us at the Great Bridal Expo in October 2012, and they already knew exactly what they wanted the wedding cake to look like.  They found a cake by  and wanted it replicated almost exactly.

As always, we sat down for a cake consultation & tasting, and everyone left happy with fully bellies!  Here is Jennifer’s completed wedding cake:

Topsy Turvy Wedding Cake – With So Much COLOR!

At Ph.D.-serts, we take our cakes seriously – especially wedding cakes!  When you contact us about our wedding cakes, here’s the process we go through:

1.  We sit down with the bride and groom to design your wedding cake from the inside out.  This means, we bring cake & filling samples – yay! And we pick your brain to find out what kind of style, mood, theme describes you and your wedding.  By the time we finish our initial meeting, you will leave with a fully designed wedding cake.

2.  We sketch out the cake and send the sketch and wedding cake order form to you for review.  You can review it on your own time and discuss the details, without the pressure of us sitting there next to you.

3.  You return a signed copy of the order form with a $100 deposit to hold the date of your big day.

4.  Two weeks before your wedding, we’ll contact you again to make sure you still like the cake we’ve designed.  We also get a final head-count to ensure that you’ll have enough cake to feed everyone at the reception.  At this time, the remaining balance of your cake is due.

5.  The week of the wedding, we get to work creating your dream cake!  We work with your reception venue to set up a delivery time and deliver the cake before any of your guests arrive.  We will leave the cake table “picture ready” so that is the last thing you have to worry about!

Disney Silhouettes Wedding Cake

Katie and Ryan are classic Disney fans.  They wanted their wedding to reflect that without screaming “MICKEY MOUSE!”

Instead of numbering their reception tables, they labeled them with some of the classic Disney kisses off of this poster:

This classic Disney kisses poster was used as inspiration for Katie & Ryan's wedding cake.

And they wanted to incorporate the images on the cake as well.  So here is the cake we designed together:

It’s Monday!  Let’s freshen the new work week with a gorgeous, elegant cake.  Later this month, we’ll be making Andrea’s & Anthony’s wedding cake (It is TOTALLY different from this one. We can’t wait to show you!), but Andrea’s mom & sister wanted to surprise her with a bridal shower cake as well.

So we met in secret (Have we mentioned how much Mel loves sweet secrets??  Gender reveal cakes, surprise cakes, etc!) and designed this beauty:
