There’s nothing I like more than looking at wedding cakes. Not only do I feel intense admiration for the people whose skilled hands and minds make these things — it’s obvious that love for the process into it — wedding cakes have obviously gotten so beautiful that they resonate like works of art when you look at them. Or if not art, at least high design, which is just as soul-feeding.

It’s wonderful, too, that these cakes taste as good as they look, with their ganaches and simple syrups and fresh fruit and chocolate fondant. What a great time in foodie history we live in!
Speaking of history, the black and white color scheme will still be really important next year. In fact, couples are not only loving the scheme, they’re even turning more toward black & white photography, because of the power of the images, and nostalgia.

B&W is also “back to the basics,” and “the power of shapes.” So in a lot of black & white cakes, you see an homage to the beautiful simplicity of the stacked cake shape.
But not these cakes!
These are cakes for fancy, swellegant black tie events, and they’re about the jaw-dropping detail. These are the cakes you shake out your sequins for.
