A simple 3 tier cake with sugar rose flowers. I love how your eyes are just drawn to how beautiful and intricate the flowers are. Cake decorators spend a lot of time and effort on these flowers. It is now time to let them be the star and not just an accessory!

A simple cake with lace border and a few fondant flowers. Lace is quite trendy too. You don't have to always use white as the base colour. Be bold and use your theme colour as the base of the cake.

If you are getting some flowers from your florist, why not order 3 or 4 more stalks for your wedding cake decorator? The cake will be much cheaper if you provide your own flowers than for your cake decorator to make it for you. As I have mentioned before, sugar flowers are time consuming to make if you will like them to be beautiful. The less labour that goes into making your cake, the cheaper it will be.

Naked wedding cakes are in trend because of the rustic and raw elegance that it gives. Match it up with all your vintage ideas. It will look very pretty. Naked wedding cakes are cheaper because they do not require a lot of fondant or skill. You can even try doing them yourself... which brings me to...

..this cake! If all the cakes are still out of your budget. You can always do it yourself. A simple cake with buttercream roses with royal icing pearls is not hard to make. The simplistic design of the top tier is compliments the detailed bottom tier.

Cake of the day!

Cake of the day! Cute little hearts and flowers, simple and elegant!

The thing about the croquembouche is...it isn't so hard to make it. It just takes time. The trick is to be as messy as possible with the caramelised sugar. You will need a lot of sugar. I really mean a lot. I used almost 1kg of sugar for this 50cm tall croquembouche. It will look even better if I didn't run out of sugar. Try to maintain the caramel in the pot as close to honey consistency/thickness if possible. Any thicker(cooler), it will not flow properly and any thinner(hotter), it will not form strings. Try to finish off with flowers or sugar decorations if possible, or it will look bare, unfinished. The more you do it the better you will get. :)
