OK, so not the most original of titles but totally appropriate for what I'm going to share with you. Of course that phrase --let them eat cake -- was allegedly uttered by Marie Antoinette, one of the original fashion doyennes, and it's been a hot topic for years ... did she say it or not? So, in her spirit, here are some examples of how Good Gracious! Events has kept the connection between high style and cake alive, delicious and beautiful.
DRAMA + FONDANT
Drama meets fondant! This cake in yellow and lighted by a chandelier hanging from the trees matched not only the bride's color palette but also the elegant style of this outdoor wedding.
Yellow was the color ...
Elegance was the theme.AN OCEAN OF COLOR
We called this award-winning wedding Oceans of Love because it took place in Malibu overlooking one of the most famous Pacific Ocean spots in California. But it could easily have been called Oceans of Color for the five spicy hues the wedding reception and the bridesmaids wore.
The cake with fruit in five hot colors ...
Matched the bridesmaids' dressing in the colors of Starburst candies!At Good Gracious! Events, we take design to be seriously fun. Creativity begins with the selection of the venue and doesn't end until the moment the cake is cut.
Does it matter who said it and why? We say let them each cake! Just make sure it's as memorable for its design as it is for its taste!

When I was a very little girl, my mother asked me who said "Let them Eat Cake" and I responded, "BETTY CROCKER";)!!
ReplyDeleteSo the argument continues but no arguing with the fabulosity of these cakes featured. They truly are works of edible art.
