A step away from wedding cakes, for a minute.

We just created two great cakes (if I do say so myself) for a set of twins, Candi and Shayli. Their families, a wonderfully large gathering, celebrating their 1st birthdays. What was special was, instead of doing one cake for both of them we did a cake for each of them. To make sure they looked like they belonged at the same party, we did a different predominate color on each, then accented with the color from the other cake. Candi had a "purple" cake with pink accents, and Shayli had a "pink" cake with purple accents. That way the cakes co-ordinated on the table and complimented one another.



We have done this in the past for other occassions. Where there are two or more birthdays, you still want there to be a complimentary, and intigrated color scheme.



This was actually done for a double wedding of two sisters a number of years ago. They each wanted a different cake design, and a different color. It was possible to take elements, in this case, edible pearls and the same accent color and incorporate them into each design. In this way the cake display had a very "together" feel, and was very attracted.



The moral, it can be different and yet the same.
