It’s all in how you show it
By Never teh BrideMy extreme love for the cake below (and its creative surroundings) will tell you a lot about my design sensibilities.
I found it on the Better Homes and Gardens web site as a seasonal cake table meant for a winter wedding, but I’m not seeing it. Yes, white on white virtually screams ‘winter,’ but that doesn’t mean that this confection and its various accessories couldn’t hold their own at a dignified country wedding in the springtime. I mean, it’s about time we stop religiously associating certain hues with certain season, right?

I have to say, aside from white on white the whole things looks more like Spring to me than Winter…and could – as you say – actually be any time of year. Winter is probably the last season that would occur to me on seeing that table.

It’s a beautiful cake, but I saw it as “country” or even “summer” rather than a “winter” cake with those surroundings.

That cake is amazing! However, I think it looks more like a cold spring rather than a frosty winter.
