An Art Deco Affair

Inspired by Art Deco architecture, Jeffrey and Romel chose to celebrate their marriage with a sleek, all-black, 5-tier wedding cake at the lavish Whitmoor Country Club last June. The cake featured two tiers covered with edible 23k gold leaf, and was stylized with black and gold decorative, geometric details. The top two tiers featured a series of set backs that created a stepped outline, commonly found in architecture from the Art Deco era. For any cakers wanting to incorporate this look in their next cake, a downloadable template is available here.

When you see the back of this cake, ‘Miss Mary Mack’ might spring to mind, but those gold buttons down the back hid a gorgeous surprise for two lucky wedding guests!

Not to be outdone by western weddings, this culture-fusion wedding included a Peruvian Cake Pull. Two gorgeous rings attached to ribbons were placed inside the cake and then hidden amongst a flurry of other ribbons. As friends and family gathered around the cake to see if they could pull the rings, the cake cutting ceremony was transformed into a circle of love surrounding the couple. What a beautiful tradition. We love being able to incorporate these special touches into our couples’ wedding cakes.

Now, one year later, we’ve just had the pleasure of recreating a bit of J + R’s wedding magic in an anniversary cake. Inspired by the design of their wedding cake, this 8 layer feast cake was created using the flavor that they didn’t have time to try on their big day—decadent chocolate cake paired with coffee mocha buttercream and whipped chocolate ganache. In addition to being wrapped in a 3D shell of edible 23k gold leaf with black royal icing details, we were sure to include a hand-painted copy of their custom monogram to tie it all together. Happy Anniversary Jeffrey and Romel, we wish you many years of love, health and happiness. Xx
