Most brides suppose that bringing in a photograph of their dream marriage ceremony cake will assist make clear for his or her bakers what it’s that they need and count on on their large day.
[shaking head] These candy, foolish women.
In actuality, these images are extra like “pointers.” A springboard, if you’ll, from which the baker might or might not spring – after which into heretofore unheard-of realms of creative “expression.”
Maybe some examples will assist.
Bride Laurie S. requested for this cake, solely in ivory and with blue flowers as an alternative of white:
(Picture & cake by Martha Stewart)
As a substitute, she received this:
“It is boxy, and it is blue and white. What extra would you like?”
Kirstie additionally needed a cascading floral design, like this:
Which her baker recreated fairly nicely, aside from one key element:
They used actual flowers as an alternative of sugar ones.
As soon as the petals shriveled, Kirstie’s cake design turned much less “cascading flowers” and extra “attacking butterflies.” Which is not horrible, I suppose, however it’s form of laborious to withstand the urge to flap your arms and shoo them off.
(Observe: The silver factor is their topper, which the baker laid flat as an alternative of standing up. Or perhaps the butterflies simply knocked it over. :D)
Sharon L. needed this attractive topsy-turvy design:
(Made by Lisa’s Artistic Truffles – and I completely need one.)
…solely in 3 tiers and utilizing her colours of fuchsia, orange, and lime.
Her baker’s interpretation?

P.S. I attempt to solely hyperlink issues I truly buy and love myself, and y’all, I’ve THREE of those in our home:
LEVOIT Air Air purifier, True HEPA
I’ve tried so many air purifiers through the years, and this Levoit is hands-down one of the best I’ve discovered. It is available in black or white, is the dimensions of a small waste basket, has an invisible management show, and is splendidly quiet even on Medium. It additionally has the simplest, most satisfying filter to scrub: simply flip it over, twist off the underside, and elevate out the massive drum. We’ve got cats and an previous home, so each two weeks I take advantage of a mud buster to hoover a very good quarter inch of mud off that drum filter, and ermigersh, SO SATISFYING.
Not like large tower purifiers these are straightforward to tuck into small areas. If in case you have mud allergic reactions I extremely suggest one to your bed room! That is what we began with, and now I’ve added two extra in our front room and again sport room.
