Ruffles & Lace

July 12, 2011 by Carrie Sellman

I’ve always been a fan of simple, sophisticated and modern.  Whether we’re talking about clothing, furniture, or cake!  That is my personal style and at one point in my life I would have cringed at the idea of lace and ruffles.  Over the years, my taste has evolved and I now find myself drawn to designs that include a subtle touch of something soft and romantic.  But when it comes to cake, it still needs to be crisp and clean.  I think that is why I fell in love with today’s cake.  This amazing Ruffles & Lace Cake by Erica O’Brien is the perfect combination of all these things.

Erica O’Brien joined forces with Jose Villa, Jill La Fleur and a team of California talent for an amazing wedding shoot. If you’re a regular reader, you already know that I love Erica O’Brien’s cake designs…. and if you’re new, you’ll soon see why! She can take ruffles and execute them flawlessly, creating a soft feminine cake that is somehow still modern and crisp. Place it on a delicate vintage pedestal and you have… perfection!

Oh my ruffles!!!  I’m almost at a loss for words.  Very simply, this is just STUNNING!

I absolutely adore this cake!  The silvery ribbons provide a nice contrast to the soft sage ruffles.  And the lace backdrop adds an extra touch of dreamy to the whole display.

A very special thank you to Erica for sharing her amazing Ruffles and Lace Cake with us today.  We love, love, love it!  Be sure to hop on over to Erica’s website and blog to see more of her incredible cake creations!
