Manolo for the Brides

I love cake. It’s delicious, decadent, and an impressive blank canvas for the imaginative decorator. Nowhere is this more evident in designs for wedding cakes.

And so I thought today that I would share some examples of cake artists doing fabulous things with buttercream and fondant. Let’s take a look, shall we?

This Klimt-inspired cake from Sweet Ladies Bakery would make quite a focal point at your wedding reception. After all, what’s not to love about a classic done in a different format?

Of course not everyone loves Klimt.

If you’re more of a Monet kind of a gal, take a look at this gorgeous water lily cake from Kara Bunton.

Even as a long-time loather of his paintings, I think this makes a splendid wedding cake.

Then again, not every artistically fabulous cake is based on a classic piece of art.

I love this elegant cake by Fleur de Lisa. The design is relatively spare, but with plenty of splashes of color to attract the eye… and we all know the first bite is taken with the peepers, not the taste buds.

Pretty ideas for cakes abound on the web. If you’re not sure what you want your wedding cake to look like, take a look at a couple galleries for bakeries in your area. You’re sure to find something that inspires you!
