I received a wonderful phone call at work yesterday! I have been asked to design a cake for
Minnesota Brides Magazine! The story will be similar to
this, featuring several local bakeries. The theme is "Black and White" - one of my favorite color (or colorless) combinations. Black and white can be bold, dainty, understated, simple, or complex, and I love it any which way. I have not decided what I will do yet, but I have a couple sketches I'm thinking about. I would like to come up with a concept that is sophisticated, but not so outlandish that it is intimidating or would cost a fortune to recreate. If I have learned anything about Minnesota brides in my first year here, it's that they lean on the traditional, understated side. Is that my personal style? No, but I think we can find a happy medium.
Here are some of my favorite black and white cakes I've done over the years.
Saved the best for last...this is probably my favorite cake of ALL TIME. I can't claim the design, it was copied from this picture:
Cake by Cake Girls in Chicago
But damn! Is that a darn near perfect replica or what?! I actually like mine better because I made the flowers out of chocolate so they were popping off the cake and really made it come alive. Picking a design for the mag is going to be
so hard!
Ebony and ivory love,
Rachel

I'm leaning towards a Black and White cake, I know it's a faux pas in the summer, but I don't care. :)
I disagree! Black and white doesn't have to be heavy, just look at the cake I did for Minnesota Brides.
Also, f*** the rules ;)
