Wedding Cake Idea: Buttercream in Multicolor Balls

January 8, 2019 by Leave a Comment

*FYI, I won’t be posting next week but will see you back here on Jan. 22. Blessings to all!

Mother of the Bride, even though it’s January and you may have just started a diet, it’s one of your MOB duties to think about cake—wedding cake that is. It may be the yummiest duty you have, so enjoy it while you can, okay?

I bet your bride-to-be-daughter will be happy to join you in your confection contemplations if she hasn’t already got her heart set on a certain cake design. If she’s still undecided, be sure to share today’s idea with her.

This cake covered in multicolor balls of buttercream icing (yum!) would be a fun design any time of year. The colors featured here would be perfect for a summer wedding, but if you’re planning a spring, fall, or winter wedding, just change up the color combination to fit the season—or the colors of the wedding.

What do you think, MOB—would this be something your daughter might go for? Have fun chatting about it and even more fun when it comes time for tasting!

Elegant Mini Cakes Wedding Cake Idea

May 1, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, everyone tends to get excited when it’s time to talk wedding cakes. Whether they’re on the team planning the wedding or just one of the guests on the big day itself, everyone looks forward to seeing—and eating—the cake. After all, it’s the crowning touch at the party so I hope you and your daughter have tons of fun considering all the options—and tasting a few too!

One wedding cake option that presents a slight twist on the popular cupcake wedding cake is the mini cakes wedding cake. These mini cakes are completely frosted and can be detailed in design or feature a simple design instead. One style is pictured above and another below.

If this idea appeals to your daughter and her beloved, they’ll still need to decide on the exact style they want as well as the cake flavors they want to include. Of course the more detailed and time intensive the design, the more the baker may charge for the cake. As with all wedding cakes, he or she will give you a price estimate after you tell her exactly what you want. Then you all can go from there in making the final decision.

So MOB, when it’s time to talk cake, don’t forget the mini cakes wedding cake idea. Who knows, it may be the crowning touch to the party that tickles your girl’s wedding cake fancy!

Groom’s Cake Idea: Favorite Professional Sports Team

January 23, 2018 by Leave a Comment

Mother of the Bride, are you and the happy couple talking cakes yet? And more specifically, the groom’s cake? If so, this suggestion might help you hit a wedding planning home run if the groom decides to run with it. Do you see a theme developing here?!

If your future son-in-law has a favorite professional sports team, he might love featuring it in some way with his groom’s cake. He could request that your cake baker design a team jersey and hat cake (as in the photo above), or he might rather feature the team’s mascot or a simply the team’s name and logo on a big sheet cake. Or he might have a different idea entirely once you spark his imagination.

So grab the soon-to-be newlyweds, MOB, and show them this idea. The groom may love it—and you will have knocked it out of the park with your suggestion! Fingers crossed for you!
