Beautiful Brooklyn Cakes

It's hard to avoid drooling over every photo we see of amazing wedding cakes. Brides and grooms are getting so creative these days, and with all the talented bakeries in the world, almost anything is possible! Brooklyn-based Nine Cakes is just one of many talented cake designers currently creating some truly stunning (and delicious!) work.

Their cakes are fun and original, and totally scrumptious looking.

Nine Cakes is located at 155 Columbia Street, Brooklyn, NY 11231. If you live in the area, check them out!

Marzipan, anyone?

We were just thinking about how much we love marzipan. So tasty, so gastronomically superior to fondant.

But marzipan is one of those things that can be done really well, or can just as easily fall off the wagon into the territory of hyper-kitsch. We would like to see some cake makers bring back the art of marzipan sculpture. See how charming marzipan can be?

How 'bout them apples!?

Aren't they just edible?! (Why yes, yes they are.)

Perhaps they could be made in the style of our new Heirloom Harvest, or Lavender Harvest wedding invitation suites?

Sparkly Goodness...

Wouldn't these Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes look lovely as part of a wedding dessert buffet? Get the recipe here!

Cheese wedding cakes

Speaking of food, check out these wedding cakes made entirely of cheese! A great option for gluten-intolerant brides (Chelsea Clinton requested a gluten free cake!), maybe not-so-great for those who are lactose-intolerant.
