SEPTEMBER CAKES ARE HERE!

September cakes!!! Well, at least some of them ;)


Hi everyone...boy it has been a busy end of August and September. We have done some incredible cakes and here are some of the pictures to prove it!!

Cute Country Wedding

1) The wedding and groom's cake below were for a couple that had the darned cutest country wedding ever! The wedding reception was at their church and it was beautiful -wood beams and ceiling - very charming!



Wedding Cake: her cake was based on the design of her dress with the color and the lace detail recreated on the cake. The flowers were fresh.

Groom's Cake:

His cake was an open Bible with his choice of verse hand painted

on the pages. You can see that the pages look like parchment and the side of the pages look like they are gilded in gold.


Cupcake Cakes!!!

Oh my goodness!! These are sooo cute. Each cupcake has dainty sugar flowers and leaves on the top of each cake in the bride's colors of light yellow and light blue. The cupcakes are displayed in laser cut cupcake sleeves.....so adorable! As if that weren't cute enough, she provided the butterflies that surround the little cakes. The event was held at The Governor's Club...which is a charming old southern plantation home.

Periwinkle Packages

3) This event has the prettiest colors of chocolate and periwinkle blue.

Wedding Cake: has three packages cakes in the bride's colors. The top packages holds a sugar replica of the bride's ring. Again, I know you are tired of hearing it, but yes, everything is edible.


Grooms' Cake: This is an air traffic control tower with a Marine Emblem on the top of the building.

LEGO MY GROOM'S CAKES

4) Some groom's (and workers) never grow up and boy is it a good thing! Hi Abby! This is one of our great and talented workers at the French Confection painting some of the little Lego people that are going to go on the groom's cake.

Ahhhh...the Groom's cake. Check this out - there are little Lego people building a castle. Some of the castle is in ruins, so the Lego workers are shoring up the sides. There is Lego grass, a Lego moat, Lego tools and ladders and little sugar Legos waiting for the "workers" to put on the sides of the castle. No detail was tooo small....ha ha.

Past Favorites!!

This is one of my favorite parts of the blog...because, we have been creating wonderful cakes for brides for about 8 years - and, of course, I think all of them (and the bride's that go with them) are just super....I like to share them with you.

This cake (above) was actually delivered the Saturday before my own wedding. It was initially inspired by a cake that the bride has seen in a magazine...however, we changed the colors to match hers and updated the flowers to be more like what she preferred. This cake was delivered to our friends over at Riverwood Mansion in April of this year.

The Crab!!!! Love it!!! Everything is edible...sugar that is:) The groom was from Maine, so we did a crab for him. The people at the wedding said that the crab looked like he was going to scamper right off of the table. The event was held at The Hermitage Hotel. The coordinator was Alice Hendry.

Boba Fett!!

This groom's cake went out to a home Brentwood owned by our friend, Cynthia Himmelfarb, for her daughter's wedding. Cynthia owns and runs one the best party rental business in Nashville. This is, of course, the groom's cake - her wedding cake is featured on our website, frenchconfectioncakes.com under Buttercream Cakes. It was lovely also. Notice, the dents and bangs in the helmet. We try to put as much detail in the cakes as we can....we want them to look like they are not real cake and I think we succeeded in this case!!

Well, that's it for this week. next week we will feature some more September cakes along with some more favorites.

Have a great week! Happy Caking! :)
