Gown-inspired wedding cakes

I love to weave together as many details of the wedding as possible, providing for a more cohesive, and much more personalized look. One way of doing so, is to have the design of the bride's wedding gown reflected in the design of the cake. The result is usually gorgeous - a very subtle, but meaningful way to pull the wedding look together. Here are some examples.

To create this beautiful (and since, oft replicated cake), Katrina of Cake Gallery went to the bride's gown salon to take a photo of her wedding dress. The trim of her gown and embroidery details are reflected in the design of the cake.

For this next beauty of a cake, we sent cakelava the link for the bride's wedding gown, which then became the design of the cake. Notice the delicate lace and the scalloped v-neck area, along with the gorgeous bow, complete with silver brooch accent. This cake, too, has since been duplicated a number of times, and with a cake as beautiful as this, it is easy to see why.

For this particular wedding cake from Cake Works, the poor groom was kept in the dark as to what his wedding cake would look like, for fear that it might giveaway the design of the bride's wedding gown, which was to be a surprise for him. The pretty ruffles and buttons on the cake mimicked the gown perfectly! Clearly, beautiful gowns inspire some of the most beautiful cakes!
