A cake topper that has it all!

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Here is an example of a romantic cake design with a flair for both traditional and modern.

Pearls on the topper tie in beautifully with the pearls on the cake and the high contrasting fonts and color sets make for a  highly legible monogram. A few flowers are used to soften the look.

How can something so clinical be so cute as a cake topper!?

It’s all about the contrast!

I love working with solids; the cake is brown, the flowers are pink, the topper is gold. That doesn’t mean the topper has to be a solid color.  Would you have guessed that four colors were used on this one?  The topper can be multi-tonal but the idea is to have it appear to be one color from far away by picking shades that are close to one another.  It’s still interesting — the closer you get the more dimension you start to see.

Swarovski cake topper showcased

Check out this shabby “cake corner”.  Doesn’t every cake deserve to be displayed in such a way? Spoken like a true cake connoisseur.

Swarovski neutrals at their best

Monday, April 5th, 2010

There cannot be enough said about keeping colors simple.  Silk, Crystal, and Crystal AB is one of my all-time favorite combinations.  Less can easily be more when it comes to combining Swarovski crystals.
