All White Wedding

Brides are reclaiming white. An all white wedding is a timeless look and will never be looked upon with doubt. White is an everlasting color for weddings and the color white can be incorporated into just about any aspect of a wedding.

White is a wonderful color for both summer and winter weddings. Indoor events can benefit from a color palette of whites and ivory creams. Some pale hints of blue, pink, or peach can also appear for a touch of color. However, only white is perfect for summer days. Outdoor settings with white tents and grassy carpets can only be done justice with a bright white color palette. Bright white can actually bring elegance and formality to even the most casual events.

Frosting

Wedding Cakes by Dawna offers both fondant and buttercream frosting. Typically, if a bride likes a fondant cake, that we have done, we can recreate it using buttercream and vice versa. We use buttercream to cover all of our cake tiers and then roll high quality fondant about an 1/8″ thin and cover the cake.  Using this method we believe we get the best of both worlds…not only do we get a great taste from the buttercream but we also get a perfect designer’s canvas with the fondant.  

Fondant Pros

- Fondant is a great option during the warmer summer months because it keeps your cake cooler.

-Fondant gives us the ability to do basically anything on a cake, from hand painting to intricate sugar jewels and that is just something that buttercream by itself can’t do.

-Fondant is easier to transport.

Buttercream Pros

-Hands down buttercream is the better tasting of the two frosting's.

-Buttercream cakes are generally less expensive than fondant.

-It is much easier to add designs to your wedding cake with buttercream frosting.

Shown below are two similar cakes, the difference is that the first cake is made in fondant and the second one is made with buttercream.

Fondant cake with pink ribbon.

Funny Story

One year Anniversary

A few weeks ago, we received a call from a frantic man that we had done business with about a year ago. This man's one year anniversary was just around the corner! His wife had expressed that she would like to eat the top layer of their cake on their anniversary (this is a very normal tradition) and this man went into panic mode. He didn't realize that it was tradition to freeze and then eat the top layer of your wedding cake, on your anniversary, so a few weeks after their wedding he tossed it in the trash. He called Dawna and explained what happened and luckily she was able to locate his file and see exactly what cake his wife had ordered. This man had asked that Dawna make a new cake that resembled their wedding cake so that he could take it home and freeze it (talk about a smart husband). Dawna was able to recreate their top layer and get it to the frantic husband just in time for their anniversary. We never found out if the husband told his wife what he did, but if you ask me she never needs to know!

Do you have any funny cake experiences? We love your comments :)
