Fabulous Cake Friday: Cakelava

May 21, 2010 by Carrie Sellman 7 Comments

Today I’m reviving an old weekly tradition here on Half Baked. Back when I owned my cake shop in Dallas, I would feature one new cake design each week that stood out as my favorite.  Even though I mainly write about cakes and parties now, I still fall in love with fabulous new cake designs, created by talented cake artists across the country.  So today we’re officially starting our new Fabulous Cake Friday segment with an amazing work of art from cakelava.
Fabulous Cake Design by Cakelava

Now, I realize that I can gush on and on about a cake, probably more so than others.  But that is only because I can appreciate how much time, patience and talent goes into creating something like this.  Rick Reichart of cakelava is truly an artist.  This funky and modern wedding cake was inspired by a floral pattern being used throughout the wedding.  Sculpted and hand-painted with a custom topper, this cake is just striking.  And the pop of color at the top and base is perfectly balanced.  Love, love, LOVE it!

A very special thank to you Rick and Sasha for sharing this design with us and to Frank Amodo for the stunning photography.

Be sure to stop in each Friday to catch a fabulous new cake design.  In the meantime, check out more of cakelava’s amazing work on their Top Tier listing and on the cakelava website and blog.  Happy Friday!
