Wedding Cake Trends

'Tis the season for wedding planning! 

We recently did a feature on wedding cake trends on kcyouthere.wordpress.com. Here are the highlights and some of our favorite tips:

• It’s important to plan ahead with ordering your wedding cake. Making an appointment quickly is key to do months in advance. It's never too early! 
• A very popular design is having piping that matches the embroidery or lace on your gown. Dividing up the layers with different designs and a colored ribbon is also a unique twist of tradition.
• Don't be afraid of fondant! It helps create a clean finish for looks like chevron and ruffles. However, with the right amount of skill, a ruffle cake can be created using buttercream. 

Happy planning! xo

Safari Cupcakes = Perfect for A Baby Shower

One thing that makes planning baby showers so fun is by far the theme. If you know the gender of the baby, you can flood the room in shades of pink or carolina blue. If the gender is unknown, a safari theme is great. We threw a baby shower for our friend's first baby boy, and had a monkey cake! But ultimately, it all depends on the mom-to-be. Plan a party around her personal style and you will surely have a blast! 

These adorable baby safari animals are made out of royal icing. You can order something similar on Amazon.com.
