plan a modern wedding in the middle of the country

I’m not fond of the traditional wedding cake – mostly because I really want the cake to pop with color and make a statement. Cake Coquette designed this chic cake, with an ombre look to it. I love the subtlety of the design, but how Gabrielle incorporates color. It’s the perfect touch.

  11. [...] over W-day cake or indeed suggest you tie everything in with a “colour scheme” but this pink number may have just turned my thinking 180 degrees. Can you imagine it in Rock My Wedding blue?! [...]
