Bold, modern and eye-catching

From chantilly to duchesse, lace is ruling 2013 weddings, and this includes cakes!
More below, and note the use of darling, delicate handmade sugar flowers.



Move over, Pantone Emerald Green. What’s actually hot is the coolest mint imaginable.

Make a statement: That’s the goal of the 2013 wedding cake. Handpainted, sugar-crafted flowers, ruffles galore … if you can dream it (or Pin it), tell your baker.
