Elegant Wedding Cake Idea: White on White

June 2, 2020 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, is your daughter hoping to include touches of elegance in her wedding day celebration? If so, one of the perfect places to display elegance is in the wedding cake design. Remember, the wedding cake is quite often the centerpiece star of the show at the reception so why not let the bride’s wedding style shine here!

The “white on white” cake pictured above is a great example of one design your elegance-loving daughter might like to consider. “White on white” itself speaks of classic elegance not to mention the gorgeous white flowers with pearl centers and the inclusion of the traditional wedding tulle. What wedding, in fact, would be complete without some tulle somewhere? 

Be sure to share this idea with your sweet daughter, MOB—and have fun considering all the options out there. And just think, after she’s decided on a design, it’s time to go for taste tests. That’s where the real fun comes in! Enjoy!

Mother of the Bride, is your daughter looking for a spring or summer wedding cake idea? If she’s a fan of berries and chocolate, the cake idea I’m showing you today might be just strike her chocolate-berry-loving fancy!

Spring or summer is the perfect time to feature a cake garnished with fresh berries and accented with drips of chocolatey goodness. Strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries against a dreamy white-frosting background look so fresh and pretty, so perfectly seasonal. Add the chocolate dripping down each layer of the cake and my, oh my, what could be more perfect? Well, just one thing—add the chocolate-covered berries you see scattered throughout as a yum, yum, yummy finishing touch.

Of course, what’s inside is anybody’s guess, but that will be just one more fun decision for your sweet girl and her guy to make. Their cake-baker will be able to give lots of good ideas about flavors that would pair well with the berries. Ask to go along for the cake-testing, MOB!

Share this idea with your little bride-to-be and her groom, Mother of the Bride, and see if this might be the answer to their cake needs. After all, it’s a healthy choice with all that fruit included, right?!

Groom’s Cake Idea for the Coffee-Loving Groom

March 5, 2019 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, has your future son-in-law decided on a design for his groom’s cake yet? If he’s not into all the wedding details, it may be the last thing on his mind. If that’s the case, this where you and your darling daughter come in. He may need some ideas to choose from.

If the man of the hour is a coffee lover (or some might say a coffee nerd or coffee snob – ha!), the coffee cup idea pictured above above may be perfect cake design for him. Coffee beans and chocolate curls spilling out of the cup or mug and flowing over a double layer cake will catch the eye of all. He might even have a favorite coffee mug he’d like to feature on his cake.

You could even add an extra special touch to the groom’s cake table and have coffee brewing nearby. Let a heavenly aroma turn getting a piece of the groom’s cake into a total experience. I bet the coffee-loving groom will think of other things to add to his table as well. In fact, if you’re not careful, he may go a little overboard!

So there you go, MOB—one more clever idea to share with the bride and groom. If coffee is not quite the right thing for this particular groom, maybe this idea will spark another idea that’s perfect for him. Whatever is decided, I’m sure it will fun and yummy too!
