Karen Tran: Cake Decor

Guest blogger Karen Tran's post this week covers one of my favorite parts of a wedding celebration: the cake!  It's amazing how something so beautiful can taste so good.  Find even more inspiration in Karen's own wedding and her previous posts here: I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX and X.

Wedding cakes are one of the most noted features of any wedding. Brides search for creative options to make their cake selection memorable. To elevate the stature of a wedding cake, florals can be used to create a ring around the cake’s base. Florals in any color when presented in this fashion, create an elegant, soft, and almost floating like appearance to nearly any wedding cake. White flowers set against a white cake offer a softer, more elegant touch. Or, for a more dramatic effect, deep red roses can provide the backdrop for a white, vibrant wedding cake.

I love the dramatic over the top glamour of this cake.

This is a great segue into an issue I've been pondering with for awhile. I LOVE madeleines so I decided to serve those with raspberry sorbet for our wedding instead of cake. However, they're so pretty, I wanted to do something to display them before they're served. I am at a loss! What is the best way to display 300 madeleines? I keep thinking about it and coming up with nothing inspired.
