Winter Wedding Cakes

*In "Here Comes Santa Claus" tone* - Winter wedding cakes, Winter wedding cakes, coming here for you!! Dodododood All decked out in dooo!! Ok, enough of that...
I'm starting off this wedding cake celebration with Christmas and winter theme cakes. I want to eaassssee you into the transition from Christmas trees/New Years to wedding cakes. Make you feel comfortable. Wanna make you right at home with the good ole wedding cakes. Shall we begin my good sir and madam?




I would like to meet the people that wanted this for their wedding...

...cause they be my kind of people!
This cake was made for a December wedding. Marisa Hess, the creator of this creative creation (going to thesaurus.com is a pain sometimes) wants to give you some friendly advice: "If anybody ever wants to recreate this cake, make sure you do not put the candies on until THE DAY OF!" Apparently, the dye from the sweets will run off and the actual candy will cease to stick.
Thanks! I'll remember that next time I make a 30 lb brown wedding cake topped off with little ginger people.

I love the spiky snowflakes on top.

It's traditional white with three tiers, yet holds a quality that is nontraditional (yup, still no thesaurus).

I love the texture of this one...

...looks like it would scrape those pesky taste buds right off your tongue!



Snowmen sure know how to party!

A few of them here can barely stay on the cake. I don't know what it is about snowmen but it always looks like they've had too much to drink (scroll down to the 3rd tree).

Reminds me of those childhood winters...

...when I lived on top of that cake shaped mountain in the woods.
Oh wait, that was a nursery rhyme. Oh wait, no it wasn't.

Doesn't it look like these two are sulking over losing something?

Poor little guys :-(

If this cake looks tiny for a wedding cake...

...it's cause it is. The creator says, " I thought I'd play around and make a mini version of what the bride wants. Not perfect, but it gives her an idea."
It may not be an official wedding cake but I love the snow looking white chocolate shavings too much to leave it off.
Want to see the real version?

Okie dokie!

I had to include this just because it's the "real" version. I don't really think the fluff stuff (lost my dictionary too) looks like snow anymore and the color scheme doesn't yell out winter to me. Not that it was supposed to since the wedding was in July.

What's the holiday season without presents?

I like this one as it doesn't go out of the way to look super realistic. This way you would still like to eat it.
I may dig it but the maker had a qualm with the design, "In hindsight I would have moved the bow up on this one."
I disagree. I think the bow looks fine where it is. I think you may have a touch of artist stale.
Def. artist stale [noun] - When you create something (picture, figure, etc) and after a while start imagining imperfections merely because you have been looking at it too long.
(No I didn't find my dictionary, I'm merely making up meanings to phrases that don't exist.)
