Fabulous Fall Wedding Cakes
I love Fall weddings, there are such pretty colors to choose from and nature can be used as a backdrop as well as part of your cake decorations. I found these to die for cakes over at In Style Weddings and wanted to give some of my brides that are planning Fall weddings some wedding cake inspiration. The cake above was created by Take the Cake a bakery in Chicago, Illinois. The cake has four round tiers covered in white chocolate and chocolate fondant with handpainted fondant overlays, I think it’s simply beautiful. read more… »

Things to gather:
