Wedding Trends of 2010

With wedding season here, my efforts have been focused in on finding out what brides of 2010 want for their special day.  Endless research and questioning has lead me to see many trends that these fashion forward women are looking for.  Let's begin by talking about the cake!

The Wedding Cake
Although our economy is in a recession, this doesn't mean you can
not have a beautiful and cost effective piece of confectionary.  We all love the look of fondant, I mean its elegant, beautiful, and you can create anything with this flexible frosting.  But, the downfall to fondant is the taste and the expense.  So, why not create a beautiful cake with buttercream, lower your cost, and still have an elegant cake that people will enjoy with their eyes and their tastebuds.  I have searching local bakeries in Cleveland for cakes that are eye appealing and tastey.  Here are some local companies I recommend in the Cleveland/Akron area that will not break your budget but will also leave your guests loving the it till the last bite.



From personal experience, these ladies were a pleasure to work with.  I highly recommend their Italian Meringue Frosting, it's light and airy for those of us who do not want a really sugary frosting.  Their lemon filling is wonderful and their cake is always moist.  I have ordered our wedding, one year anniversary, and baby shower cake from this vendor.


If you like canoli's, then you have to try their canoli filling in their cake, this filling is simply amazing.  The bakery is located on Cleveland's near east side in Maple Heights and has been in existince since 1949.  The atmospher within the bakery itself is energetic and you can even sometimes get a glimpse of them working hard on various cakes.
