Cake Seriously Meets Fashion


Since it’s Wedding Wednesday and I’m in the mood for some luscious dessert, I decided to write about wedding cake today.

I went on a hunt for a wedding cake that can stand on its own and came across the wedding cake of Maya Hansen, Fashion Designer of L’Oreal.  Of course, we all would expect this cake to be a fabulous one, but I read the into it a little more and thought that the “inspirations” behind her cake were cute ones.  Being in the fashion industry, she had her baker, Patricia Arribalzaga, of Cakes Haute Couture, design several small cakes as inspiration to what her wedding cake might be.  These are the suggestions she came up with, and she did a fabulous job!

She chose the one that I would have chosen too, a cake to match her wedding gown.  A white satin look with black pearls and lace details.  The flower on top matched the one she wore in her hair.  I love how it's sitting on a dainty, yet elegant stand to not take away from the cake itself.  What she chose to do differently, which we don't see too often, is have a small cake on each of the guests' tables instead of one large one.

Once again, cake meets fashion and these didn’t disappoint!
