A couple from our Marriage Preparation class last fall were married this past December in Manila Bay, The Philippines. Mr. Donut and I had lunch with the happy couple this past Sunday and got to see pictures of their beautiful wedding. We were instantly in awe of her very unique cake - a gorgeous 5 layer pillow design from The Cake Artist Judy Uson in Manila.

And those are fake flowers! Judy prefers to use her incredible sugar flowers. These mini masterpieces are so breathtakingly life like, I’m considering taking this next picture to my florist for bridal bouquet inspiration.

One of my favorite cakes is her Gourmet Cake. Part of this beauty is brilliantly composed of individually wrapped cakes, each one topped with its own sugar flower. What a great way to send guests home with something sweet!

Here are some more of Judy’s beautiful cakes:

Judy makes her cakes in one of two ways. The first way is the traditional all cake cake. The other way is with “dummy” or styrofoam layers, with just one or two layers being actual cake, all seamlessly decorated to make one amazing cake. This is a great option for the bride who isn’t all that crazy about cake or the bride on a budget who still wants a big, beautiful masterpiece. Her cakes run P9,000 - P16,000. In case you’re wondering, that’s $225 - $400 US. And, yes, she’s open to traveling internationally.
