We’re starting off the new week with an incredible Steampunk inspired wedding cake. For those of you saying … steampunk, huh, what? Steampunk is a genre that combines Victorian era fashion and art with science fiction and futuristic technology. Think gears, metals and leather mixed with elegant vintage details. Sort of Mad Max meets Jane Austen.

Today’s featured design, created by the team at Amanda Oakleaf Cakes, is a gorgeous yet subdued interpretation of steampunk. From the rich browns, warm creams and vintage blue to the copper accents …

After featuring the adorable Puss in Boots cake earlier this week, I thought we’d continue on with the fairytale theme for another day. Just long enough to bring you a this! Exactly what kind of cake is created for the wedding of two animators at Dreamworks? One with a classic damsel in distress, who fears a fiery dragon while a loveable ogre and his donkey race to save the day? That sounds about right! Shrek and Donkey, please meet Sleeping Beauty and her dragon. Today’s featured cake is a fantastic fantasy created by the team at Amanda Oakleaf …

Summer hasn’t officially started…. yet I want to crown today’s design as “Cake of the Summer”. I know, I know. It’s too early in the season to make such a sweeping declaration. But today’s featured cake is SO right now. SO Summer 2012!

Please, put down your coffee and have a seat. I feel like today’s post needs to come with a warning label. It would go something like this… CAUTION: Today’s cake may take your breath away. Some have experienced intense, gorgeous-induced giddiness when viewing this cake. Swooning and fainting may also occur.

Okay. Now that you’re fully prepared, we can proceed. Seriously, today’s cake is truly magnificent. It’s bold. It’s bright. It incorporates both classic beauty and current trend into one design. Vibrant blue poppy flowers …

Today’s incredible cake was inspired by a love of peonies and English roses. But not just any English rose. The lovely English roses from David Austin Roses, a prestigious breeder whose roses are best known for their layers of petals, complex centers and garden rose appearance (making them a popular choice for today’s brides). Trinh of Cake Avenue, captured the natural charm of a cottage garden and brought it to life in the form of sugar! Beautiful, delicate blooms in dusty, pale pink and white. Petite latte colored berries. Romantic accents …

Pale rose cream cheese icing with a delicate ripple pattern that almost mimics the ripples of the nearby lake. Dusty peach sugar flowers so dainty and quaint. Arranged in a vintage, silk-lined suitcase. It’s enough to make a girl feel faint! If you can’t tell, I’ve completely fallen for this Romantic Rose …

Mirror mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of them all? Why, today’s cake of course!

Today’s featured cake is a modern Snow White theme that will take your breath away! We’re not talking singing woodland animals and Disney characters here. This cake is more befitting the original Brothers Grimm story or this summer’s darker Snow White and the Huntsman movie. You know. The one where the evil queen proclaims “Skin white as snow… Lips red as blood… Hair black as night. Bring me the heart of dear, dear Snow White.” Geez. Maybe the …
