MINT WEDDING CAKES

According to many sources including a Project Wedding  ”mint” is one of the hottest wedding color trends for 2013! This soft and sweet color is great for couples who love blues and greens. Mint goes well with so many other colors too! Pinks, yellows & oranges add beautiful accents to a mint themed wedding.

OMBRE MINT WEDDING CAKES

Ombred styled accessories, dresses & even cakes are taking to this color trend! This beautiful ombred mint wedding cake has simple waves of elegance and will surely have people talking. Mint wedding cakes are a great way to go if you can keep it soft & light.

Even a simple mint wedding cake with details in the fondant looks absolutely stunning & priceless on top of a white porcelain cake stand! Notice the tiny pieces in between the separated layers…very well done.

CAKE POPS

Smooth mint fondant atop your stacked wedding cake with simple pink, yellow or white flowers creates an intimate feel to any reception. White silk ribbon accents add a timeless appeal. When they say “less is better” this is what they mean.

Cake pops are also becoming increasingly popular in the wedding world… Easy to eat and so many color combinations to choose from, you could have ombre mint wedding cake pops, or even one main mint wedding cake with accented colored cake pops surrounding it in pinks or yellows. This is a modern way to serve cake without it actually having to be cut.

MINT WEDDING CAKES – FLOWER ACCENTS

Mint & white were meant to be! These two colors are so simply gorgeous together and the combinations of these colors are endless. White fondant flowers strategically placed across the cake add a subtle hint of texture and color. You could even bring in other colors the centers of the flowers a different accent color other than black as shown in the picture below.

This mint wedding cake features a great chevron pattered design on a plain white fondant backdrop. Simple and amazing!

Red to white ombre wedding cake

 Ombré Wedding

Ombré is a French term, it means the shading and transition of color from light to dark, from one shade to another.  Traditionally this term referred to fabric and ombré has definitely made it’s mark in the fashion world, however recently this style has blown up! We are seeing ombré designs on everything from hair to nails and of course, all things weddings!  Wedding cakes, invitations, backdrops and flowers, ombré weddings are one wedding trend that is sure to stick around!

 Ombré Wedding Centerpiece

Ombré floral centerpieces can make your reception oh-so-glamorous!  An Ombré Wedding adds a decorative element that works with every color palette, and flowers are a great way to incorporate ombré decor into your wedding ceremony and reception. When creating an ombré flower centerpiece, we recommend choosing different flowers for each color (as seen above).  The different textures mixed with busts of color will create one gorgeous centerpiece!

Ombré Wedding Isle Runner

Ombré was originally associated with fabric, so why not continue your ombré wedding theme into your isleway.  We love a look that is hand crafted and matches your chairs, backdrops, reception table cloths, napkins, centerpieces and more…

 Ombre Wedding Backdrop

Hanging paper art makes for a fabulous backdrop and this ombré wedding backdrop makes this desert table so much sweeter! Hang garlands color by color, moving from one shade to the next to create fun and unique ceremony backdrop, desert table or photo booth areas. You can also  hang above reception tables to create amazing hanging decor!

Wedding Cupcakes

The hottest wedding trend in history is going on right now! It’s the freedom of expression and couples today are drooling over the opportunity to incorporate it into their special day. A perfect example is that modern brides are purchasing wedding cupcakes, desert displays, fruit and fondue stations, candy buffets, sundae bars and other delectable deserts, instead of the traditional wedding cake. This doesn’t mean that brides-to-be don’t love wedding cakes, or the traditional act of “cutting the cake.” It simply means that traditions are changing. Couples are making their own history, so giving up the age old “cake cutting tradition” and replacing it with something that truly matches a couples charisma makes a much bigger statement. It’s also fun, entertaining, and yummy!

Cutting the Cake

September 29, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Cutting the CakeCutting the Cake

The traditional cutting of the wedding cake, like many traditions, has been around for centuries. Long, long…long ago, it was thought that eating the crumbs off the floor that fell from the bride and grooms mouth would promote fertility for whoever ate them. Yuck-e! Thank goodness that tradition is no more!

What has survived is the opportunity to do one of your first activities together as husband and wife (much like your first dance). And believe it or not, there is a right and wrong way to do this. So pull out your notebook, grab a pen and start taking some notes. Here are some suggestions on cutting the cake to keep you from making some typical mistakes!

  1. Champagne popping and toasts take place before the cake cutting. This includes the traditional crossing of the arms toast for the bride and groom.
  2. Let the groom take the lead and be in charge of the cake knife. With the knife in the grooms hand and the brides hand placed on top of his, make your first cut into the cake simultaneously.
  3. Cut a small piece of cake and then use the cake server (triangle looking knife) to transfer the piece onto a small cake plate where you can then cut that piece into two.
  4. Let the groom feed the bride first (you can do this with a fork or with your fingers). This way if there are any shenanigans on the groom’s part, the bride will have the perfect opportunity for bridal revenge.
  5. Afterwards you can choose to cut and serve the cake to your guests to eat with their champagne or have it taken away and served for dessert at your reception. Either way, enjoy!

ooo la la…wedding desserts

Ever get that mouth watering sensation when looking for something “sweet to eat”? Look no further! Aloha Events Catering in Maui, Hawaii has the perfect wedding desserts solution. A Lava Lava cake topped with a Chocolate dipped Kula Strawberry rolled in Hawaiian Coconut? mmmmmm, yummmmy. Let me at it!

This unique idea is only a small sample of what this company is capable of. When it comes to catering weddings & events in Hawaii they are simply DIVINE! Wedding desserts are delicious with Aloha Events Catering.

A little cake history… Long before the Roman Empire, the tradition was to break a wedding cake over the brides head. This act symbolized the breaking of the woman’s virginity,  publicly showing the man’s dominance over the bride. Thankfully this tradition has adapted with the times. This means that you don’t “have to have a wedding cake for dessert”. These days, modern wedding receptions have been known to provide wedding desserts display (along with some cake) instead of just making everyone “eat cake”.

So ask yourself this question… is cake my most favorite dessert? If not, you may want to consider providing an alternative option for your guests and a custom wedding desserts display may be a perfect fit!
