Our client for this blushing trio is a wedding planner (OMG, no pressure)…so we knew that this bridal shower was going to be, not only beautiful, but trendsetting. And whoa...were we right or what?! With the event affectionately christened Fifty Shades of Blush, we set out to create a set of cakes that would live up to the name. We kept it feminine—gorgeous flower details, intricate petal work and hand-painted, custom lettering. Add a little tailored ribbon for that parisian flair and a sprinkling of glittery gold, and we ended up delivering three delectable creations that are totally blush-worthy. Be sure to check out the event pictures over on Style Me Pretty.

"Affectionately called Fifty Shades of Blush, the brand new Silver Oaks Chateau provided the perfect backdrop for a Parisian-style, open flower market [bridal shower]. The blush and gold tones of the cakes by De la Creme Studio pulled together the tablescape and were just as sweet as the stationery by Paperkeet."

Stunning Louis Vuitton Cake

Louis Vuitton is all about fabulous style, and here at De la Creme Creative Studio, fabulous is what we specialize in. So when we were approached to create a stunning cake for a glamorous event, we pulled out all the stops!! No expense was spared for Kymberly's birthday bash at Scape Bistro and "Fabulous Style" was the buzz word of the night. From the stunning venue and the decadent floral arrangements to the three-tier, chocolate and caramel, LV luggage set cake (which we happened to create), guests were surrounded by luxury and we were more than thrilled to be a part of it...

(Also, any time I get to set up a cake on a gold, glittery tablecloth, I do a little happy dance in my head).

Double Helix Showstopper Cake

Can you create a show-stopping, three-dimensional, double helix cake that stands over six feet tall? Our response…"Sure!!" I'm not saying it was easy, but we certainly delivered everything that Washington University asked for when they commissioned a cake to celebrate the dedication of The Elizabeth H. and James S. McDonnell, III McDonnell Genome Institute.

When on display in the airy foyer of the Eric P. Newman Education Center, the spirals on the double helix reached a staggering 6.5 feet!!

Elizabeth H. McDonnell, along with husband James S. McDonnell, III, being presented the Helix Cake as a token of appreciation for their remarkable gift to provide continual support for large-scale genomic research. — Elizabeth H.

Gold, Glittery, Graduation Cake

This week we are celebrating Precious, who just graduated from University!! After putting in all that hard work, she deserved every inch of this towering cake of decadent, glitzy gold. And at her request, we crowned this little beauty with a hand-sculpted, edible, Lindenwood Lion Mascot topper. We knew this cake had to be fabulous, and nothing says luxury-glam like black and gold. So from the sketch through the planning and production stages, we were channeling our inner diva and adding details like glittery gold dots, shimmery gold stripes, deep tufted quilting and a precious metal monogram (sorry, could resist the pun) :-)

Measuring in at just under two feet tall, this four-tier marble cake arrived looking like it was born to party...Work it, you gorgeous thing!! And once again, congratulations Precious. Xx

Make-a-wish Elmo Cake

As you can image, I had way too much fun making this Sesame Street-themed birthday cake for Amir—it's practically a party on a plate!

Fuzzy Monkey Baby Shower Cake

This cake was inspired by the expecting couple's monkey-themed baby shower invitations, and with a heavy focus on texture, it was sooo fun to design!! Who would have thought that a fuzzy little monkey would become the star of his own cake?! Once the cake was sliced, guests were greeted with a baby blue, white chocolate mousse filling. Congrats Joe and Courtney—what a way to welcome your new baby boy!

Sparkle My Heart Cake

This clean, modern cake design was created to be as fabulous as the birthday girl herself (who, by the way, made turning 30 look good). Black and white. Blushing pink. Glittery gold. No other frills were needed when we took a chocolate and french vanilla marble cake, and flawlessly dressed it up in a Chanel-inspired outfit of fondant. We love it, and that is all folks! **Excerpt from the Oscar speech I'll never give...I would like to take this opportunity to thank God for the desire He has placed within me to make beautiful things. I would also like to send a big thank you to my sister, Vienna Sydane for all the late night cake consults—you help keep the important things in focus, and last but not least, I just want to say...Coffee, I love you! Without you, I wouldn't get half of my to-do list accomplished!! (Cue the music) Hehe...I couldn't resist, now go enjoy the cake pictures ;-)

This cake was also featured on The Cake Blog. Read the full article here.
EDIT: A tutorial is available for this cake design.
