Every time I discover a new cake designer I get giddy with excitement. That’s exactly how I feel about Magpie’s Cake. Although she is located in Washington DC (lucky brides!) her cake designs are definitely one to be admired and used as inspiration. Romantic, artistic and subtle are how I’d like to describe some of her dreamy wedding cakes. Check out her online portfolio for yourself. In the meantime, here are five of my favourite cakes from Magpie’s. Enjoy.
Rosie chats with Allyson Meredith Bobette from Bobette and Belle, and gets some great tips and tricks on working with your cake designer.
I’ve worked with Lori from The Caketress in the past, and her work and talent never cease to amaze me. Couture and luxurious are definitely the correct words to describe her confections–but as a person and cake designer–Lori is simply down to earth and very easy to get along with. I was so inspired by her three recent wedding cakes that I felt the need to share.
Lori’s description: It’s almost always that I use smooth fondant for decorating wedding cakes because the artistic possibilities are endless. Christy the bride , however loved the look of rustic rolled white chocolate for her golden wedding cake to be served up north at Taboo Resort. This four tier oval golden cake needed to match the old world feel to her wedding decor , crafted by Muskoka’s leading decor team , Eventdecorator.com. Filled with raspberries and white chocolate ganache, this cake screamed decadence. Handed made sugar flowers, each uniquely painted in actual gold finished this beautiful and delicious cake.
Lori’s description: This pink and coral elegant designer wedding cake made it’s way up north for a reception at one of my favorite Muskoka venue’s for nothern weddings , The Rosseau. The rich flavour of this three tier square cake was an Opera Cake (top two) and the bottom was a Lemon Cake. Both favourites of the Bride and Groom. The delicate piping was based on the lovely invitations the bride had choosen, and the falling pink blossoms and coral hydrangeas gave the right pop of colour for their elegant affair up north.
Lori’s description: Wow what a week it was. It was a fun packed week of designing wedding cakes. One them was Meghan and Rob’s contemporary deep purple and apple green wedding cake. This three tier square cake covered pleated stripes and sugar flowers, was made to flavor one of their favourite sweet treats , a peppermint patty. A fun flavour for this very fun couple.

I just read that the HST (Ontario’s new harmonized tax) does NOT include wedding cakes! All the more reason to order a huger wedding cake or more confections for your reception, right? Currently, I’m loving Jessica Berard’s gorgeous cakes–an artistic cake designer who hails from Montreal. Each and every one of her creations are pretty and elegant. Here’s a sneak peak of some of her beautiful cakes.
For today’s DIY treat, Roxy decided to take cookies to the next level with these deliciously-looking cookie cakes! Isn’t it a brilliant idea?! Of all the DIY’s we’ve showcased this week, I think this one is by far the easiest. Get the how-to below:
I’m sad to say that all the beautiful work that Partina Atelier and Papillon Cakes did for us is coming to an end. The six sketches that they created for us last week were amazing. And, today I’m going to end with another one of their gorgeous ideas. Inspired by origami both Tina and Diana set out to create something very reminiscent of Japanese culture.
I am in LOVE with these sketches. To me, they simply scream Hawaii. Both the dress and the cake are simple yet elegant and definitely have that destination vibe going on. What do you think? Would you wear this or have this type of confection for your wedding day?

Paris anyone? I’m really loving the romantic sweep of this gown. And the fleur-de-lys embellishment on the cake. Everything is soooo je ne sais quoi!
