Wedding Cake Styles and Designs:
When it comes to wedding cake styles, the sky is the limit! There are as many different styles of cake as there are flavors to choose from. One of the most popular wedding cake styles right now is the naked cake. The naked cake offers a limited spread of frosting, exposing the natural spongy look of the cake underneath. The naked cake style gives the cake an alternating frosting-cake stripe, producing a beautiful, chic, yet not too sweet design. If you're a limited frosting lover, this may be the ideal cake for you! Are you a bring on the frosting type girl? Then perhaps skip on the naked cake style and go for the small wedding cake that carries a show-stopping design! Not everyone desires a life-size cake. For those of you who think less is more, perhaps a one to two tiered cake is up your alley. The trick to pulling off this petite creation is to adorn it with stand out embellishments. Ribbons, large blooms, tasteful patterns, crepe-paper customized designs, piping, fresh-fruit, etc. These fantastic finishes will make even the smallest of wedding cakes, show-stop worthy!

Wedding Cake Toppers:
Images have graced the uppermost wedding cake tiers for centuries. From the classical cupid-adornments to a modern day "Mr and Mrs" insignia, the tradition is going strong and shows no signs of stopping. Currently, wedding cakes are often minimal in design. We will go over a few of the options out there but remember, you can start from scratch and create your own design if finding the perfect topper is proving difficult. Looking for a graceful wedding cake topper? Consider a porcelain silhouette. Numerous designs can be found to suit any taste, from the traditional and often seen bride and groom embracing, to the more rare yet desired celtic claddagh which represents love, loyalty, and friendship. Looking for something a little more playful? Consider a "Catch of the Day" bride and groom cake topper with the bride snagging the groom with a fishing line. Prefer to top your wedding cake with words? Personalized wedding toppers can be designed to showcase your surname, wedding date, a simple "Mr and Mrs" or the bride and groom's initials. Wedding toppers from the humorous to the sentimental can be found or created to fit any style.
