Alex & Brie's Wedding

Simple and Elegant Buttercream Wedding Cake 

The beautiful thing about weddings is that even though the core elements are the same, they are all so unique. Upon arriving to the venue to deliver the cake for A+B's wedding, I was instantly taken back by the beauty of the property, and shocked to find the bride outside helping set up "what are you doing out here?!"

This wedding was all about the beautiful details and hand made with love. The strings of cafe lights, the little wooden signs to the gorgeous fern wall (you'll see it behind the cake) all contributed to the beauty of the day. And while these things are not required to have a wedding, it definitely adds romance if you ask me. I feel like Pinterest is a blessing and a curse these days...same with Etsy.

The Bride is a sister of a friend who I grew up playing soccer with, so I was honored that they chose me to make their wedding cake. We had a tasting consultation back in the spring to play around with flavors. We decided to go with a vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream for the cutting cake, but they also loved the chocolate frosting so we did the same thing with chocolate frosting in a sheet cake.

As a little take home favor from the tasting, I also gave them one of my signature sugar cookies. I was delighted to get an email from Brie that not only did they love them, but they wanted to incorporate some cookies for dessert as well. 

Let them eat cake!

Now I mentioned something about a fern wall... do you see it in the background?! Absolutely stunning. Brie saw it at a wedding show and she said she just had to do it too. It was a gorgeous background for a simple and elegant wedding cake. 

 

The cake! And that Fern Wall - Stunning

The hardest thing about being a baker for weddings, is you don't always get to see the end result or have an opportunity to take photos. So I am extremely grateful to photographers Events by Heather and Ryan for taking some gorgeous photos.

Congratulations Alex and Brie! We hope your day was everything you wished it to be and more! May your marriage be blessed.
