Before & After Cake Pictures

Here’s an inspo and an after pic of our grooms cake!

Of course I gave them inspiration lol. I am between two types of cakes but I want them to know what I want but I check their pics to see if they can do it. I am leaning towards semi naked as it is something I have never had or done and distinct from any other wedding I have been to and my and the FH value cake more than frosting so this would be perfect.

View Quoted Comment Very pretty. I am not much for frosting either so if I was a guest at your wedding, I'd be happy lol!
What color flowers would you use? The same ones in the picture?

View Quoted Comment Ooh that looks yummy! I like the little chocolate drips down the side!

Yes well I gave my bakery a picture and didn’t get what I wanted so I was disappointed but they ended up giving me back a big chunk of the money. It still didn’t make up for the fact that my cake wasn’t what I wanted. I would really make sure they understand you.


This is what I wanted
This is what they made.

LOL come on down to the wedding lol. Oh I am sorry I guess this post is meant for brides. I am not married yet but I think I may do burgundy and peach which are the colors I want to incorporate but I may include the color outfit my FH will wear. I thinking I may do butter cream roses but I would do minimal flowers. I think the burgundy and peach will make it pop a bit with some color but I will add a comical cake topper. I like something like these. In the bottom pic not sure how it would look but I am thinking naked caked with some two toned buttercream swirls. Not sure how it would look because no pics for inspiration. I am in between the two styles below but leaning towards the semi naked.

These were our inspiration pics and then our actual cake! We knew the flowers were going to be different though because they were just icing rather than real flowers lol, and we also picked out the gold trim at the bakery (didn’t have that in the inspiration pic, but the baker suggested it while we were at our tasting to dress it up a bit and we loved it)

They actually had a display in the window and I asked them to make it exactly like it and it came out the same

View Quoted Comment Oh sweetie, I am so sorry that happened to you but the one they gave you was still really pretty!

View Quoted Comment Maybe it can start out like normal frosting on the bottom and as it goes up it can get more and more bare and the frosting can be two toned too? Just a thought and dont know if its possible lol I like those colors though, peach and burgundy is what I'm leaning towards using in pur wedding too

View Quoted Comment I like the gold trim, definitely dressed it up. 😊

View Quoted Comment Go for it. Great fall colors.

My inspiration cake! My baker has been in constant contact with me, asking questions to make sure she gets it just right! I’m very happy with her. I can’t wait to see my cake!
