Sweet #1: Seashell Wedding Cake<\/p>\n

\"Seashell<\/p>\n

This sweet couple had a very specific vision of their wedding cake: rings in a seashell on the beach with waves of cupcakes. The edible shell itself was very difficult to execute, but somehow Casey managed it. The bottom of the shell is cake. If you look closely, we spelled “just married” on the sand.<\/p>\n

\"Seashell<\/p>\n

As we set up the cupcakes, we wished we had some dolphins or mermaids to add to the “waves”.<\/p>\n

Flavors: almond pound, red velvet, banana and chocolate.<\/p>\n

\"Seashell<\/p>\n

The sand? As simple as light brown sugar.<\/p>\n

Design, setup and details: Zo\u00eb Lukas
Seashell modeling and airbrushing: Casey Ray
Figure modeling: Jenn Hall
Baking: Rebecca Hauptman<\/p>\n

Sweet #2: Fondant Party Pugs<\/p>\n

\"Edible<\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb made these pugs for her sister’s birthday cake. The littler pug on the right is George and the much chunkier one on the left is Toby (code-named “two-dog”). Zo\u00eb’s mom made the cake itself, so we can’t take credit for that.<\/p>\n

Sweet#3: Sugar Flower Wedding Cake<\/p>\n

\"Three-Tier<\/p>\n

We’re totally into buttercream iced cakes with fondant details and flowers placed just so. Round is the new square.<\/p>\n
