Fireworks inspired wedding cake

Marcy found fireworks everywhere she looked while planning her big day. She found the perfect invitation to match the guilded, sophisticated essence of fireworks. 

Normally when a bride visits The Sugar Suite, she has a wedding theme, colors and inspiration; we take those ideas and design a wedding cake that embodies her style. With Marcy, she was already head over heels in love with a cake design. While dabbling on Pinterest, as many brides do, she stumbled across this cake and it was love at first sight!  She just needed an artist who could recreate it! We were up for the task.

This cake was THE cake for Marcy's firework-inspired wedding. Planning a wedding is always a unique experience. When a bride finds her perfect cake, we make sure to deliver what she is dreaming of!

(We haven't come across the inspiration cake since, so if you know who created it, let us know who we should credit for the original design!)

The Summer of Faux

As a designer, I sometimes wonder if I'm crazy.

I see royal icing detail in the wallpaper at the Delano, I see sugar brooches in the clearance section of Anthropologie, I see a wedding cake on the cover of the Vogue in my friend's guest bathroom. (clearly, I'm inspired everywhere!)

In the words of Marcy Blum, Eventiste and New York Wedding Planner to the stars: "I am always on a treasure hunt" and whether it be obsession or talent (the combination of which I like to call passion)... I too am always on a hunt for new ideas and ways to express those ideas in sugar.

The Summer of Faux is about taking all of our inspiration, these styrafoam (or "faux") cakes, some sugar and a lot passion to show everyone what we see, and hopefully inspire .

Stay tunned for the full stories, images and faux cakes, its going to be one inspired summer!
