Mrs. Giraffe's Picture
Mrs. Giraffe, Chicago Age and Occupation: 23, Graphic Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Music Student Teacher Engagement Date: October 23, 2008 Wedding Date: May 2011 Venue: Trinity Lutheran Church & Idlewild Country Club About Me: Coming from the suburbs of the Windy City, you'll often find me with my foot in my mouth while laughing for no reason or telling bad knock knock jokes. I've been crafty for as long as I can remember, and will DIY something twice over before I have someone do it for me. I'm a semi-awkward, typeface obsessed, design junkie and have been know to break out my dance moves for no reason as well as try my best to be ridiculous at all times. My love of pop culture, wordplay, and graph paper almost rivals my love of Mr. Giraffe (who is just the bee's knees). After a 2.5 year engagement, we're planning a modern-in-disguise traditional wedding, and cannot wait!

That’s a Party Cake, For Sure

October 9th, 2010 @ 11:30 am by Mrs. Giraffe

Has anyone ever visited White Flower Cakes? I hadn’t, but I found the link via another blog that wasn’t in English. I had no idea what it was saying, but it was a cake blog. :) Anyway, I headed over to the gallery and found a cake that just really made me smile. We’ve been on the fence about whether we want a traditional cake or something a little more hip, but this one is definitely in the hip category.

So I just love this cake! As a huge fan of color, it just blows me away.

The website says:

The Lindsey C - This bride fell in love with the Daphne, but wanted a more tropical feel to it. Hand-sculpted sugar orchids, bold bright colors (not to mention the flavor choice: coconut cake with a rum soak and a mango buttercream filling) made this cake the perfect centerpiece for her tropical outdoor reception at The Country Club. Serves 280.

The Daphne, eh? So after I read that, I had to find the Daphne. Needless to say, I was blown away and now even more smitten with more “contemporary” cakes. Here’s what White Flower Cakes says about the Daphne: “Vivid colors, retro patterns and a lush sugar bow topper make this cake an amazing centerpiece for your reception.

As if that weren’t enough for you to drool over, take a quick look at the Velma. “Bold vibrant colors and a tropical floral patterns give this cake a fresh summer feel, perfect for an outdoor wedding.”

So, naturally, I’m completely in love with those cakes. Mr. Giraffe is definitely a more traditional kind of guy. But White Flower has a number of traditional cakes and traditional-with-a-twist cakes, also. (I love the “Love” topper on the cake on the right.)

I always thought I was more of a traditional cake person, but this may have converted me. Though I think personally I would lean toward the traditional with a twist. These are AMAZING though!!! LOVE!

Their cakes are just as good as they look, I promise. I haven’t been to a wedding that used them (MAJOR expensive! They’ve been on the food network cake challenges), but I go there to get some cupcakes from time to time. Their pumpkin creamcheese ones are divinity.
