Wedding Occasion Cakes


Mmmm... Doesn't that look good? Today is a special post. Today I want to walk you through a very happy time in my life, my engagement and wedding. What better way to commemorate special occasions than with a cake. Let's begin!


On the left is my Engagement cake. My poor nephew Max is patiently waiting for the appropriate time to cut and savor this cake. And with good reason! This is no ordinary cake! It is a masterpiece from Rockwell's Creative Cakes in Orange, California. There is something special about their cakes. I'm not sure quite what, but it is absolutely magical inside and out. 




Yes, that's me with my West Coast Bridal Shower Cake. It's a flourless chocolate cake from 
Zov's bakery and cafe in Tustin, California. Incredibly decadent, and
with the inscription "...and they lived happily ever after...", this cake was just perfect. I couldn't have asked for more... 








My East Coast Shower Cake! The theme was garden party and everyone had to wear a bonnet or floppy hat. Naturally my cake had to wear one too. Mmmm... but this one was made out of cake and white chocolate and frosting. Those cake
 chefs at The Icing On The Cake in Newton, MA sure know how to make a gorgeous and absolutely delicious confection!




Both my bridal luncheon cake and my wedding cake were from Delicious Desserts in Falmouth, MA. Please order your cake from Lisa. You won't regret it! She's amazing. (She even offered to make a gummy bear filling if we really really wanted it!)

For the bridal luncheon, I treated my brides maids, sisters, and mothers to a simple white cake with raspberry filling and white butter cream frosting. Lisa actually baked in wedding charms. This is a photo of us pulling our fortunes from the cake. 

And now, for the grand finale! Our wedding cake. Oh so amazing! The flowers are from All About Flours (ask for Judy) and again the cake is from Delicious DessertsIt has combed white butter cream frosting and a simple pearl edge. It was as delectable as it was beautiful. I'm not sure anything can taste better than your wedding cake at your own wedding! 


A celebration is nothing without its cake. And, here you have probably the four best cakeries in the United States. Two from Southern  California and two from Massachusetts. Which one will you use for your next special occasion? Its hard to choose, I know.
