Happy Independence Day!
To celebrate I'm giving a "parade" of 4th of July wedding cakes.
Now, this doesn't mean the wedding actually has to take place on the 4th,
it just means that the wedding cake has to have a patriotic theme.
(Warning: Due to the awesome nature of this article I will be randomly going "USA! USA! USA!" whenever the spirit so moves me).

One way to do the patriotic theme is to go
the stars & stripes route.
the stars & stripes route.
Cake by: Dahlia's Custom Cakes (MI, USA)It's hard to misinterpret the theme on this here cake.
USA! USA! USA!
I think a close-up is due.
The design is so sharpit almost looks like it was printed on.
Now, you don't have to literally have stars & stripes
on your precious wedding cake.
But red, white & blue is definitely a must.
USA! USA! USA!
And since most couples that do the "America is awesome" theme
for their wedding tend to have their special day in the summer...
...red white and blue flowers will work perfectly.USA! USA! USA!
Yup, flowers work pretty well with this color scheme.
Yup, flowers work pretty well with this color scheme.
I especially like the use of trailing roses versus using another flower.I think it's because the reds and blues are more poignant and the whites are more pure.
(pure like the soul of any American citizen)
USA! USA! USA!
And like any themed wedding cake,
your design possibilities are endless.
(Almost as endless as the possibilities for an American born citizen).
USA! USA! USA!
If you so desired,
You could take away the abundance of flowers,
the dazzling stars and the vibrant colors;
and go with a more chic "America is awesome" cake.
Much like this one:
It's still a USA wedding cake but with a more fresh andsubtle patriotic look.
And the crocheted muffins next to it is more classy
than a horse with a silver saddle.
USA! USA! USA!
Enjoy your 4th of July!
USA! USA! USA!
Wow, what an interesting page! I had no idea there were so many patriotic cakes out there.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to mention though - the first cake you show has stars that are actually Jewish stars. It appears this couple may have wanted to combine Judaism with patriotism. ;-)
Yes, indeedy. Or maybe it had nothing to do with patriotism at all!
ReplyDeleteBut for today, those are American stars and stripes damnit!
USSR! USSR! USSR! That was the best country ever. Their fireworks were better too. My favorite fireworks were "Sparkering Mushroom Clouds", and "Crackering Fallout Rockets."
