4 Tier Wedding Cake with Jewels and Skulls for Sean and Ben

With such a demand for our gorgeous dessert tables, it's rare that we get an opportunity to design and create a large cake for a reception.  So imagine our delights when Sean and Ben came to us for their wedding cake.  Their formal reception at The Landmark Center in St Paul was the perfect backdrop for this 4 tier stunner, enrobed in white fondant and adorned with white, black, red and gold sugar jewels.  We also included little silver skulls on the cake that matched the cufflinks worn by Sean.

A reception would not be complete without a Cocoa & Fig dessert table!  Mini desserts were set up towards the end of the evening and included Black Velvet Cake Lollipops, Dark Chocolate Dessert Shooters, Very Berry Dessert Shooters and White Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispie Treats.

And check out the stunning florals by Spruce!  All photos compliments of the amazing folks at Studio 306.

With the assistance of local event planner Laura Mullen Event Design, Heather and John's wedding was an elegant affair in St. Paul.  The reception at James J Hill Library was a gorgeous setting with pillars and colorful books in the backdrop, and photographer Laura Ivanova took some stunning shots of the occasion.

The Cocoa & Fig dessert table featured a 2 tier cake with fondant icing and buttercream polka dots along with a variety of miniature desserts including Pumpkin, Black Velvet, Sinfully Chocolate, and Vanilla Salted Caramel Mini Cupcakes, Brown Butter Rice Krispie Treats, Fresh Fruit Tartlets, Dark Chocolate and Tiramisu Dessert Shooters, and Raspberry Swirl Mini Cheesecakes.

With all this crazy cold and rainy weather in May we thought it would be nice to look at some pretty Spring wedding inspiration.  This inspiration shoot was photographed and styled by Amy Majors - we think she's pretty fantastic!  I'll let the photos speak for themselves:
