What if Prince William and Kate Middleton called Betty Crocker for help with the Royal Wedding Cake? These four very different cakes are their proposals based on the theme Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue.
If it were my royal wedding, I would pick all four because the theme itself is so great, and each cake has its own strengths and beauty. My favorite cake may be named Something Old because it looks timeless and elegant, but it shows so much new creativity and flair. It is not only suspended from the ceiling, but it incorporates romantic lighting right into the cake too.
Which of these royal wedding cakes is your favorite?

| Flickr/Betty Crocker Recipes Something Old Classic, timeless, and elegant. This wedding cake takes its inspiration from a vintage chandelier – but with a modern twist. The majestic tiers, soft white color palette, gilded accents and romantic use of light make this cake gorgeous and traditional. The modern twist? With a flair for drama, this cake floats above us, suspended from the ceiling! |

| Flickr/Betty Crocker Recipes Something Borrowed Reinvention is all about combining elements in a clever new way, and that’s just what we did. This cake borrows from a dessert trend on the rise – pie. Here, piecrust is a decorative and delicious fondant on the cake. It is also used to create accents such as birds, a traditional English wedding cake icon. The cake’s design even borrows from the royal china pattern! |

This design takes inspiration from the heirloom sapphire ring, as well as peacock feathers (traditionally associated with both courtship and royalty) and the feather “fascinator” hats favored by the future Royal. Inside, this “peek-a-blue” cake features layers of Royal Blue Velvet Cake, a new spin on popular Red Velvet Cake! |

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting my ‘Careann’s Musings’ blog yesterday via Freshly Pressed. I love meeting new people here in cyberspace. As a writer I keep my blog’s focus mostly on writing, but obviously I post on other topics, too. I appreciated your offer to link to your Thursday posts. I'll be back sometime to have another look, but I don't post on cooking topics very often.
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed having a peek at your blog. Those are marvelous cakes! I think I like the 'Something New' version best.
Wow, they are fantastic!
