Favorite wedding cakes of 2012

There are so many details to a wedding that we love, but the cake? It kinda shares center stage with the bride’s dress, don’t you think? It’s sugar done right and we couldn’t help ourselves from sharing the tiered goodness that caught our sweet tooth this year. Enjoy!

Oh how we loved the peach trimmed ruffles in this cake by Incredible Edibles. It suited this charming Southern wedding perfectly.

Ombre everything was pretty hot this year and seeing it in done flawlessly in this cake by A Wish and A Whisk, with that pretty touch of gold made us swoon!

This pink & black wedding shoot was adorable on so many levels. Like this sweet aqua cake from Cakewalk Bake Shop. So simple and so petite, but so perfect!

The talented bakers at Sugarplum Cake Shop hand painted blue and nude tones to this cake to give a slight watercolor feel to it. Lovely, isn’t it?

This chevron cake by Bittersweet in Chicago definitely played a star role in one of our favorite weddings from 2012.

Well isn’t this a pretty cake? Highland Bakery truly made this cake look like a piece of art for this fun pastel + watercolor wedding shoot.

If we could repost all the ah-mazing cakes from this modern wedding cakes post we would. Instead we’ll just share this polka dot cutie by Charm City Cakes that’s obviously too pretty to eat!

We’d never seen a wedding cake with so much texture (impressive, right?). We were so bummed we couldn’t see it in person at this year’s The Cream NYC, but wow, Lael Cakes, job well done!

Once you see how adorable this Lake Tahoe wedding and couple is, you’ll see why they had an equally adorable cake made for them by Dees Bakery.

We’re always fans of simple but impactful design choices, and this vintage Hollywood glam wedding shoot was full of them. Like this black & white cake by Miso Bakes!
