Which Cake is Your Fave?

#1My wedding cake is still far from being designed, but with your help, we are a little bit closer!

I've had lots of ideas come in, thanks to everyone for sending me your inspirations!
Posted are my TOP TEN...I mean ELEVEN favorites that some of you sent, in no particular order. (You can tell by the ones I've chosen, I'm leaning towards a very tall cake!)

Please look at all the cakes and leave a comment voting for YOUR favorite! The numbers are listed above each cake. (The colors for our Fall wedding will be Ivory, Pink and Silver, so whichever cake we go with, will be designed in those colors.)

Cara's Wedding Cake Challenge

So if you haven't heard, I'M ENGAGED! And already, I've had lots of people ask me,
"ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE YOUR OWN WEDDING CAKE?!?!?!"

The answer is YES!
I wouldn't put the pressure on anyone to try and appease my high cake standards, PLUS, nothing would make me more happy than to give our guests a little something that's a part of who I am.

My sweet, studly fiance James has been assisting me the past few months and is tremendous help when I need him (he's becoming quite good at rolling fondant!), SO we've decided to make it together!

My amazingly, talented sister Crystal is planning our entire wedding, so the cake is really all we have to focus on.

This is where you come in...JAMES AND I NEED YOUR HELP!

As many cakes as I look at every day and as many other weddings I make cakes for, finding the perfect cake that strikes me as my own can be a little challenging.

We would love suggestions, ideas, pictures, anything that you think might inspire us for our cake. The person whose idea we like the most will receive a prize from Cara Linn, Inc.!

We will be posting our "Wedding Cake Process" right here on our blog, so STAY TUNED and PLEASE send us YOUR idea for our cake!


Lots of Love from SweetLand and THANKS for being a part of my blog!

Motorcycle Cake Class!

This was by far the funnest class we've done!
We did something new and challenging - taught everyone how to sculpt a motorcycle cake! These students were from the Cake Meetup Group, so it was lots of fun. See some of their creations below! We definitely plan to hold more of these "out of the box" cake sculpting classes soon, so be sure and keep an eye on our class schedule and sign up for one. We'd love to have you!

Summer Cake Class 101

Cakes of the Week!

WEDDING CAKES

This birdcage was made of Gumpaste, painted with Gold luster, and piped with Royal icing.

It wasn't perfect, but for such a complicated structure, I was happy with the way it turned out(and I thought the crookedness of the cage fit nicely with the quirkiness of the cake!)

The pup was a mini model of the Bride's pomeranian named "Rice".

He was actually full of cake inside!

This cake went to a sweet little Italian spot in Queens, Middle Village.

The lilies were also made of gumpaste that I formed and let dry around ice cream sugar cones.

I then painted and dusted each one with Petal Dust.

Ciao Bella!

BIRTHDAY CAKES

Hello Kitty

Fun and Colorful

"O God, You are more awesome than Your holy places.
The God of Israel is He who gives STRENGTH and POWER to His people."

Busy week this week! I was in desperate need of lots of energy and strength so I kept this scripture on the tip of my tongue.

It helped me get through with ease!

I also MUST give a shout out to all of my amazing help this week - I wouldn't have made it without them.

JENY, SHAHANA, JENNIFER, CHRISTINE, and HEIDI
