I went to the Cakewalk at Grand Central yesterday. There were some very pretty cakes, some not so pretty but there was free champagne and we got to vote for our favorite cake. They were even giving away a trip for 2 to the Bahamas (please, please let me win!). The lighting in there was poor and my flash reflected off the marble walls so these aren’t the greatest pictures. But who cares - it’s cake! And now for your Friday viewing pleasure…

This cake is by Ellen Baumwoll of Bijoux Doux Cakes in Brooklyn. She made my groom’s cake and did a wonderful job. I really liked this cake because she has “I do” in different fonts around each layer.

I took a picture of every single cake. All the flowers are made of fondant, gum paste, etc. No fresh flowers were used!
