Zen Rose Mini Cake :: Austin Wedding Cakes

This mini wedding cake was a last minute order; five days before the wedding to be exact. When they are mini cakes, about a foot tall, I love it because I can create it from start to finish in about a day. They are easy breezy.

The only downside to last minute orders is that I have to adjust my weekend plans....but it's worth it because every order is helping me to become more established in the Austin area. I'm still fairly new at this...so every little bit helps.

Anyhow.

This client wanted a very "Zen" feel to her cake since it was a theme in her life. It also fit well with the venue which was Imperia Austin - they serve Sushi and Asian-inspired cuisine.

The client also loved , loved, loved chocolate and requested a rich chocolate cake with a chocolate ganache filling, iced in chocolate, and then covered in Satin Ice chocolate fondant. Wooo Weeee!

The photo of this cake is one I took before delivery. I didn't have the clients flowers with me, so I used some silk roses and berries and then played photo stylist. The lighting was a bit off though and the rose got washed out, and editing did not help much. Overall, I love how the final product came out.

Something Baby Blue :: Austin Wedding Cakes

I love this cake! It's extremely simple yet beautiful. This style is what I call one of my "Classic Cakes". It's like the Ralph Lauren of wedding cake....no matter when you get married, this cake will always look in style.

The "classic cake" consist of a plain cake (any flavor), iced in either buttercream or fondant with little to no decoration, lined with a ribbon, and finished with fresh flowers.

For this wedding, the bide wanted a very light ice blue cake with a dainty silver ribbon. For the flavors she chose the wedding classic, Italian cream, and a devil's food with chocolate buttercream.

As you can see, the final product is a sweet and precious cake. You can't tell from the photo....but this cake is only about one foot tall! It is sitting on a fireplace mantle at Jeffrey's restaurant.
