Peacock Inspired Wedding Cake

I don't know if the Katy Perry song has had anything to do with it, but lots of brides lately have been considering peacock for their bridal inspiration.

When I met with this couple, they definitely wanted peacock incorporated into their wedding, but they wanted something not so literal; more of a "hint" of peacock, I guess you would say.

When the bride saw a similar cake from Art Eats Bakery in SC, she completely fell in love.  We tweaked and loved on the original design, and made into something that would really fit in with the couples big day!

We delivered this beautiful wedding cake to the wonderful ballroom at The Chattanoogan in downtown Chattanooga.

Congratulations Hallie and Joel!!

Peacock Feathers Wedding

Now that's what I call a cake!  This 5-tiered tower of butter cream went to the beautiful Read House in Chattanooga, TN.  The bride wanted to go for a "very natural, but fancy" look.

We achieved this look by using green gumpaste orchids, natural river birch branches, and real peacock feathers that the bride had brought in from India!

And the color on the cake?  That's espresso flavored buttercream - SO yummy!  And I finished the cake with some dark brown ribbon to accentuate that coffee colored buttercream!
