A wedding cake design that bares all- introducing the naked cake! Now before you go jumping to conclusions, let me explain what I mean by this.

Multiple flavors give certain looks and textures which makes each cake different. Fresh fruits and flowers, edible garnishes, powdered sugar, rosemary, caramel- anything you like!- can be used to give the cake a [...]

Place a small, handheld fan on each guest’s chair so they can stay cool during the ceremony. Better yet, have them double as a ceremony program! A backup boutonniere for the [...]
