Priscilla and Joel wanted something bold and unusual for their wedding cake and something with an Indian motif.  We tossed around some ideas of a lavendar cake with henna and or paisely designs.  Eventually, once the invitations were picked, the cake design gelled.  BOLD purple icing (like the main color of the invitation) with gold floral scrolling and a medallion (like the invite’s borders and cover).  It’s not often that people want such a color scheme, and I was excited to go for it!

When I received the invitation, I was SUPER excited … beautiful!  Rich, deep, metallic, irridescent dark plum with intricate patterns and bright gold scrolling ~ lovely!

The cake has fondant icing with multiple layers of airbrush to create an irredescent plum finish.   The pattern, though not exact to the invitation but similar, was first stencilled and then handpainted with gold and outlined with black for definition.

Since the cake itself was such a strong statement, a simple application of flowers was all that was needed…fresh white orchids.   I thought that since the cake had a modern feel already, a modern asymmetrical placement of the flowers was appropriate.  I liked it! 

 The final design was unique and certainly bold! 

It’s named  ”Roshini“….

I love it when it’s all put together… the inspiration and the outcome. 

Here are some other lovely reception decor and images…

In inspirational message from their invitation…

In marriage do thou be wise; prefer the

person before money; virtue before beauty;

the mind before the body.
