Cake lover and culinary artist Michelle (owner of Frosted Fancies) chose the four seasons as inspiration for her creative display of wedding cakes at the FAB Bridal Expo.
The winter cake (front left) is a graceful tower of four tiers of striking patterns in black, white and red. Picture this as a stylish feature of an elegant indoor wedding. On the inside this luxurious creation is filled with decadent chocolate cake...
Behind it is the autumn themed cake with the basket weave and coloured leaves. This design would suit a more rustic, outdoor wedding celebration and is made of delicious carrot cake.
The cake for summer (back right) is bright, modern and cheerful with its colourful rows of roses. It’s made of lemon and poppy seed cake- something light for the warm summer months.
Finally the beautiful bird cage (front right) is the design representing spring. This was Michelle’s personal favourite. She went for a light, vintage feel, which featured birds and blossoming flowers. Beneath the crisp green icing is a delicious red velvet cake.
As Michelle pointed out: “All my designs for the expo were not your traditional looking cakes ...but I wanted to target a customer that liked things a little different.”
This was her fist time exhibiting at any expo, as Frosted Fancies is only a few months old.
“I found that it was great exposure for my business, not only with potential brides and customers but also for networking... I gained many contacts. Overall I enjoyed talking to brides to be and seeing all that the wedding industry is about. There is a lot more that goes into a wedding than I thought.”
