Wedding Cake With Red Roses by

~Wedding Cakes For You~

This is a pillared cake using 2 1/2 inch pillars which you can get at any cake decorating store, or online. Wilton is usually the brand that I rely on for my decorating supplies. I just run down to Michael's Craft Store in my neighborhood. It's convenient. If you are doing cakes in bulk than you will want to buy your supplies at a wholesale supply company. I also order from these companies often.

Tropical Flower Wedding Cake

4 Tiered Wedding Cake by ~Wedding Cakes For You ~

Fresh flower decoration is my favorite, especially when the flowers come straight from the garden to the cake. That was the case with this awesome cake. The flowers are edible Nasturiums from my own garden mixed with roses and greens. The top decoration is made from wire with little dots of royal icing to form a spray. It's a Wilton design idea that I used several times for a dramatic effect and to add height.

Daisy Wedding Cake

Daisy Wedding Cake by ~Wedding Cakes For You~

Daisy wedding cakes are perfect for a simple outdoor wedding or for country western style wedding cakes. This daisy wedding cake is made with silk flowers because it was used as one of my many dummy wedding cakes for display purposes. A dummy wedding cake can also be used at a reception. Some brides may opt for this, using a sheet cake in the kitchen for cutting and serving to the guests.

Fresh Roses

You can't go wrong with roses and a simple garland butter cream decoration. Courtesy of realsmiley, on Flickr
