While we love creating elaborate wedding cakes, there is nothing more beautiful than a simple, elegant wedding cake design with a large accent to serve as a focal point and draw your eye in. It has always been our design style but with these cakes, we truly feel that “less is more”.

The Wedding Café Cake Workshop

For our semi-annual Cake Trends Workshop at The Wedding Cafe, we created a 3-tier hexagon shaped cake with different sized tiers. The top and bottom tier are the same size, but the middle tier is shorter than the others. The shape and size of the tiers gives this cake dimension and is a playful, yet clean look. A simple purple strand border and a grouping of bright violet sugar flowers and foliage makes a nice impact, drawing the eye to the pop of color against the simple, yet classic cake.

Visionari Stylized Photo Shoot

For the photo shoot, as everything about it, especially the flowers, were SUPER lush and abundant. To provide some contrast, we created was a simple 3-tier round cake. A contrasting, single, extra large pink sugar peony was set off to the side, between the bottom and middle tier (large flowers are traditionally placed on top of the cake) allowing it to stand out from the rest of the cake. A simple light soft peach colored band, trimmed with light soft pink sugar pearls tied the entire design together. You can view more from the photo shoot here: Visionari Stylized Photo Shoot

Eva and Calvin

For Eva and Calvin’s wedding cake we designed a simple 2-tier round, fondant cake. A copper/gold sugar band was placed in the middle of the bottom tier (normally placed on the bottom of the tier) with two large, soft, ivory sugar flowers placed in between the tiers.
For their flavors, they chose our Yellow Butter Cake with Strawberry Cream Filling and Coconut Cake with Pineapple Cream Filling.
This elegant, simple design with nice pops of color allows for the focus to be details. It definitely compliments our “less is more” theory.
