Wedding cakes and desserts

Adonia, I know you live for a challenge, so here’s a little one for you 😉

Do you happen to have a photo of a cake like this? It’s completely covered in dark chocolate ganache, but the icing looks like a mosaic—or shattered... I don't even know how to describe it, ugh... it's as if someone struck the cake and the glaze just cracked everywhere. It looks a bit like parched earth splitting open under the sun... anyway, hope that makes sense 🤣

mali OT—I saw a cake exactly like that on a reality TV show I watched a few months back. Great show, really. Two couples were competing, and their whole task was to plan each other's weddings. One couple had to pick absolutely everything for the other—the dress, the suit, the venue, the cake, the flowers... and they chose that specific cake. They actually ended up getting married using those exact arrangements 😬
I would love a cake like that 😢

Adonia I have to say, those little treats look absolutely incredible. Honestly, I’m feeling quite hungry just looking at them, I guess.🙂 🙂

Ugh, I am actually starting to spiral here! I haven't even decided on a cake design yet, and I have to have an answer by the beginning of next week!😱

I’m looking for something on the smaller side—maybe two tiers, or honestly, just one big tier since there are only about 43 people coming—something made with fondant that looks clean and simple! PLEASE, if anyone has photos or even just a link to a website, send them my way... anything at all... I am feeling totally desperate!🙂 🙂 🙂

Arthur Ramirez4, didn't you find anything among all these photos?

Go back and look through this whole thread from the very beginning. You have millions of pictures and links right here.

I’m diving in, starting right from page one! Though I have to admit, I'm feeling a little intimidated because they are all just massive!😲

I happened upon this photo of a classic Smith Island cake, and honestly, it’s the only thing I want. I’m planning to head out tomorrow to visit a couple of bakeries in San Francisco to see if they can recreate it. I’ve actually been carrying a picture of this cake in my bag for months now... 🤣

Hey ladies....

Thinking about ordering a cake from Magnolia Bakery tomorrow... anyone here actually used them for wedding cakes before?

Mmm... that cake looks incredible!!!🙂 👍

We really loved that look—kind of thinking fruit and parfait vibes instead.🙂 Since it’s July, we want to keep the cake a little "lighter," you know?😍

Now I just need to find someone to actually make it... heading out after work today to talk shop with some local bakeries. I've shortlisted a few: Meli, M&M, Horak, and Grabar.

Doro, hit me with those quick recs if you have them.🙂
