Cactus Cupcakes: Add some Baja to your wedding dessert table!

Cake, cupcake and succulents

Kyle & Lauren, like many of our brides & grooms, wanted to incorporate a bit of Baja into their Los Cabos wedding! What better way to do that than to include a cactus or two into their wedding cake design! They decided to  add some “cactus” cupcakes to their wedding cake.

They are a popular request, our cactus cupcakes! We provide them for rehearsal dinners, as favors, as part of the wedding cake set-up…or just for fun parties!

We also can design succulent cupcakes (in the same family as a cactus cupcake, but with more of a succulent look.)

There are all kinds of ways to play with this fun trend! (And, by the way, these are all completely edible. Our cake designer creates the “cacti”  and “succulents” out of fondant, candy bars, cookies, brown sugar, frosting and more.)

For this kind of cupcake fun & more…please contact Donna Gray @ caboflowersdfb@gmail.com.

 

 

 

 

How White Bridal Bouquets Are Bringing Sexy Back

2013-09-01 14.51.40

The classic white bridal bouquet is our #1 requested bouquet at Cabo Flowers and Cakes! And we fully support this fabulous bouquet!  But just as Justin Timberlake sang (a long time ago), we believe in bringing sexy back and so we feel like jazzing up the classic white bouquet…just a bit! (Don’t worry….nothing too drastic!)

How about adding white anemones, succulents, and green hydrangea & eucalyptus? This used to be a white bouquet until we transformed to it into a super-cool, super-gorgeous, extra special bridal bouquet with a white base!  Spectacular!

White Mums and green hydrangeas add beautiful color and texture to what could’ve been a traditional white bouquet.

There are lots of ways to play this game! 2013-02-16 13.28.33

And don’t forget how different textures of white (and different styles of white flowers) help up the glamour element as well.

Looking for a traditional white bouquet for your Cabo wedding, but want to make it YOURS? Look no further than Cabo Flowers and Cakes floral designers…we’re bringing sexy back to the traditional white bouquet!

4 Ideas You Can Steal From Wedding Cake Trends in 2016

2016 is still a new year, so it’s not too late to continue looking at wedding trends! Our focus this blog is…the coolest new wedding cakes.  The trends in wedding cake design are fun and colorful…perfect for a Cabo wedding!  Check out our favorite 4 trends for 2016 – we are excited to create these for you! So…let’s get started…

Trend #1: The naked cake in CHOCOLATE! (Yes, the naked cake was really popular in 2015, but almost always in vanilla or a neutral color/flavor. For 2016, the hip way to create this cake is by embracing the chocolate, and letting it all hang out!)

Trend #2: Gold flaking on the cake! Not the whole cake…just a touch of shine. Let that cake glow!

Trend #3: The color drip! It’s actually a sweet flavored icing – delish – that also adds a touch of the creative to your cake design.

Trend #4: The geometric wedding cake! Either the shape of the actual cake or the shape of the design on the cake…both options are magical!

These Trends are the Secret Ingredient to Wedding Fabulousness!

With the first month of 2016 coming to a close (can you believe how quickly January has flown by!), we wanted to highlight a few more wedding trends that we think are adorable and truly fabulous and should be brought here to Cabo immediately!

  1. Especially with a destination wedding like this one in Cabo, it can be difficult to include all of our besties, especially our furry ones! So what better way to include them, then to give their photos a place of honor at the reception. elegant-pink-flower-table-garland-runners-for-wedding-centerpiece-ideas
  2. Instead of linen table runner, try a floral table runner on a simple white linen. Lined with candles, this adds the drama of hundreds of flowers, still leaving room for your guests to be able to chat across and down the long table.

4. The flowers should, of course, scream glamour, but let’s not forget about the vase! Clear vases, emphasizing the beauty of the stems, with rocks (or shells, or jewels, or seaglass…the list goes on) are clean and simply gorgeous.
