Wedding Cake Trends for Spring/Summer 2014 - Montreal - Metallic - Classic Ivory - Peach

Tis the season of weddings. In Montreal there is no better season than Spring/Summer to get married. We're never guaranteed sunny days but at least the weather is not below zero!! Let's face it, weddings photos with backdrops like Old Montreal and the luscious gardens at our many parks are priceless. Apart from the venues, the menu, the dress, the CAKE; the overall color theme of the wedding is a very integral part of the day. This season, we're seeing more and more metallic accents, a lot of kick back to the classic ivory cakes embellished with florals or lace appliques and more colourful, quirky cakes. Obviously the trends vary according to the different tastes. All in all, we love creating all kinds of cakes for all our special customers! Here are some creative boards to inspire you for your wedding day!

The metallic grey accents with ivory petals is refined but edgy!

We love glitter - by adding just one tier it makes your classic cake one notch more stylish.

       Dusty rose metallic accents adds just that little 'je ne sais quoi' to your cake.  A lavish feathered bridal dress to the mix and ooh la la!

You can't go wrong with the classic multi tier ivory cake with cascading flowers - it's classic and very 'de rigeur' again. Very romantic.

A multi-tiered masterpiece like this with intricate floral pattern deserves an over the top bridal dress and party. Definitely for the bride seeking pure elegance.

 One of our favourite wedding cakes, the detailed lace pattern was time consuming but the end result was magnificent. Elegance and feminism are the adjectives for this wedding theme.

 This board depicts a Chanel fashion show so it's pretty clear that a cake like this is made for the Fashionista girl who loves over the top embellishments. It's Baroque meets the runway!

Ooh J'adore! The sweet pink flowers that adorn this delicately laced cake is pretty and sexy. Above is the sweet table from one of our clients - they did a wonderful display. And with the low lighting, it was sensual and would make us want to get married over and over again!

 Yes, it seems like peach and apricot is taking over pink as an accent this summer. We're seeing more and more tinted dresses to complement the themes - it makes for a more trendsetter wedding.

Speaking of trendy, this crochet floral cake is ideal for that bohemian couple who prefers handmade bonbonnieres in their outdoor wedding. 

HAPPY SUMMER! Summer Party Themes - Summer Cakes - Gateaux - Montreal Specialty Cakes

When we were asked to make a beach theme, our design team was more than thrilled to do anything associated with summer. Being in Montreal where our summers are so "damn" short, any theme that is related to sun and beach will bring a smile to our face. Unfortunately, the turquoise waters used as a backdrop is not in our backyard so keeping the dream alive will have to do!  

Peach Wedding Inspiration - Hand-painted Wedding Cake - San Marco Cakes

Again, we applaud our design team on creating this stunner. The cake is hand-painted in bright orange and leafy green. It is literally a work of art! The natural feel of the cake led us to this beachy peach wedding theme board.
