Let Them Eat Cake!

March 28, 2018 admin Leave a comment

For today’s blog, we want to showcase a few of our most recent Cabo wedding cakes! Cabo is actually a very small town and there are not many of us making American-style wedding cakes for our Cabo brides so we are proud to have such a coveted spot and to be so well-loved by our brides.

We have a large variety of flavors & fillings, and we know what your guests want, what they are expecting from your wedding cake. Some of our most popular flavors are: lemon cake with lemon curd filling, Mexican chocolate cake with white chocolate filling, and white almond cake with hazelnut mousse filling. We always recommend a butter cream frosting as we can be a bit warm here for your Cabo wedding! For more detailed information regarding our cakes and other desserts, please check out our Cakes section of our website.

We are here to help you design and create the most amazing wedding cake for your Cabo Destination Wedding. (We also provide flowers & events rentals as well.)

Two Tier Cakes: Terrific!

March 4, 2017 admin Leave a comment

Let’s be honest…we all know it’s the big, multi-tiered wedding cakes that get all the press…all the Oooohs and Aaaaaahs! But, the truth is that many of our requests for wedding cakes are for two-tier cakes that still have a very special wedding feel to them. We are so happy to create these lovely wedding cake for our amazing clients!

Here are a few of our two-tier favorites:

We added a glitzy, sparkling cake stand to this cake…giving it the feel of a third tier at fractions of the cost.

Adding a special design, in a metallic gold, makes the cake a true sparkler!

Succulents and eucalyptus greens are a favorite greenery used often by our brides. We love the natural and sweet look of this!

Bring the beach vibe to your two-tier cake, by adding the white starfish and blue ribbon, with yellow flowers to shine on your cake!

We are in Cabo so adding white chocolate shells is always fun!

Pink ombre is beautiful and romantic…and looks lovely with the ocean blue in the background.

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

October 28, 2016 admin Leave a comment

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.

When designing your Cabo wedding cake, one of the things we always want to talk about is: how will you top your cake? It’s an important question because your cake topper plays an important part of your wedding cake cutting celebration.

Your cake topper for your Cabo wedding is a perfect chance for any destination wedding bride to bring a bit of home with her and to make her mark on her wedding decor! This bride and groom brought this cake topper with them, with H as the initial for their newly shared last name, and with a silhouette design of their beloved dog they’d left at home for the week-end. They made their wedding cake personal…for them! 0750KJWPP

4 Ideas You Can Steal From Wedding Cake Trends in 2016

February 15, 2016 admin Leave a comment

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!

DO YOU KNOW HOW TO CUT YOUR WEDDING CAKE?

December 8, 2015 admin Leave a comment

This may seem like a very simple question, but we here at Cabo Flowers & Cakes actually hear it a lot. And the reason is…there is a ceremony that goes with cutting your wedding cake! Even when you are in Cabo, for your Cabo wedding! We’ve all seen it a hundred times before at weddings where we’ve been a guest, but when you are actually in Cabo, cutting your own wedding cake, it feels different! This is YOUR cake and you are the one who has to cut it! If you are working with a Wedding Planner (and we recommend that you do…contact us for our recommendations), she will know how to do the cake cutting, so follow her instructions. If not,…here’s how:

You should have a separate cake table, decorated beautifully, with a linen, candles, and of course flowers from Cabo Flowers & Cakes! The table should be located in a central area, where there is plenty of room for your guests to stand in front of it, while you two stand behind it. (The table can be moved into this more central area right before the cake cutting time if you want it to. Just don’t move the table with the cake ON it. No cake crashes, please!)

2. Your cake should be on a cake stand on the table (again, have a professional move the cake onto the stand, on the table.) Also on the table should be your cake cutting knife and your cake server. If you want your champagne glasses on the table, that is fine too.

3. You also need a small plate, a napkin, and two forks. These should be set up behind the cake, which is facing your guests.

4. When it is time to cut your cake, your DJ should begin playing your pre-selected cake cutting song, and the MC should ask your guests to gather around the cake cutting table. Your MC can narrate the cake cutting if you are comfortable with that.

5. Know ahead of time which layer you are going to be cutting into. (Some cakes have fake tiers and you do not want to cut into that!) You will normally cut into the bottom tier of your cake.

6. With both bride and groom holding the knife, make a small slice in the cake. Go all the way through, from the top to the bottom of the cake. Most cakes will have their bottom tier on some type of cakeboard. You don’t need to cut that.

7. Then, together, grab the cake server, and place that under the little cake slice and gently lift the cake slice onto the plate.

8. Using the server, cut the slice into two bite size pieces.

9. Determine ahead of time whether you will be feeding each other cake from your fingers or your forks. Forks? Each use a fork to place the cake in the other’s mouth. Fingers, go one at time (bride first), placing the bite size piece in our spouse’s mouth. Gentle or smearing icing all over the place? That’s up to you!

10. Enjoy this traditional moment! And make sure the photographer was there the whole time getting photos!

Make sure that, for your destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo, Cabo Flowers & Cakes is the one to supply your wedding cake!

By The Sea: Beach Inspired Yummies for your Wedding

November 7, 2015 admin Leave a comment

Yes, we know, Cabo is one of th Blue sea and flowers e top destinations for a beach weddings (if not THE top destination!) Our ocean is teal blue, our Cabo beaches are golden, and the sunsets are truly painted with an artist’s brush! So, we here at Cabo Flowers and Cakes get it, the beach and the ocean are truly inspirations for your event.

That’s why we think you should consider including a Cabo beach theme as part of your wedding treats…whether it’s your actual wedding cake or maybe some other type of treat (see our cute beachy cupcakes below.)

Cabo Flowers and Cakes specializes in white chocolate and/or milk chocolate shells, that you can use to decorate your wedding cake. (Look closely and see how adorable this cake topper is!) The shells can also be colored (think coral for star fish or just get creative) to match your theme.

fun beach cupcakes To be used as an after-event treat, we can create these cupcakes with sunglasses, flip flops or palm trees. (Get creative and let us know what else you’d like to include…we are always open to your ideas!)

This wedding cake below showcases some of our white chocolate shells options. We can also include Bride/Groom sea horses as a cake topper, if that’s what you’d like.

Let Cabo’s beaches inspire you…let Cabo Flowers and Cakes help you create a wedding cake or wedding treat that fits with this ocean theme!

YES, YOUR CAKES NEEDS A STAND!

October 23, 2015 admin Leave a comment

OK, Cabo brides, we know how it is with cakes. You’ve done your research, you’ve searched your heart (you may have even drawn sketches) and you’ve done your cake tasting. You’ve finally determined your perfect wedding cake, and you’ve submitted your fabulous ideas to us! Good job!

But, as we look over your order, we notice…something is missing! What exactly is your stunning wedding cake going to stand on? Yes, you need a cake stand!

P1000105

A cake stand completes your look! A cake stand makes a 3-tier cake appear to be a 4-tier cake, or your 2-tier appear to look like a 3-tier. (You get the idea!) A cake stand keeps your cake about 6” off your beautiful linen. And a cake stand is one more decor element that you can use to add dazzle and elegance to your overall Cabo wedding. It also makes your cake easier to cut (raises it to cutting level) and looks great in pictures.

Convinced? If not, then take a look below at some of our gorgeous cake stand options that might work beautifully for your Cabo Flowers and Cakes wedding cake. Let us know your favorite! (Plus we custom design cake stands, too, if needed.)

“CAN YOU COPY [INSERT WEDDING ITEM HERE] FROM A PHOTO?”

September 25, 2015 admin Leave a comment

A question that we, at Cabo Flowers & Cakes, get quite often is this: can you copy [and go ahead and insert anything related to a wedding here] from a photo? In this visual age of technology, with everyone looking at images of everything at all hours of the day and night, brides are looking at a lot of photos. You, dear bride, are accessing photos from a hundred different wedding websites, sharing photos on Facebook, and pinning photos of everything you love for your wedding on Pinterest. (Have we mentioned that we would love you to access Cabo Flowers and Cakes’ social media as well? If not, please do!)

With all this being said, the next question is…what do you do with all of these photos that you like (love!) that are assisting you with your wedding planning? Please share them with us, your wedding vendors!

We love your photos (contrary to what other’s may tell you about professional pride, and design aesthetics.) Your photos help us understand what you really, truly are drawn to, and we can help create that for you.

Photos can be used to inspire, to explain…or to copy. To inspire, or to explain, you may show us several photos and say, “I like the ribbon on this…AND the color of that.” We use the photos as a jumping off point to create something unique and beautiful.

But…and we are cool with this…sometimes down here in Cabo, we have brides say, “I want it (the cake, the bridal bouquet, the chuppah) to look just like this!” And we do our best! Sometimes we need to adapt or alter, mostly because of actual flower or ingredient availability in our little southern Baja peninsula. Sometimes we need to do a bit of a change up for weather reasons. (Cabo is hot and sometimes humid, and sometimes we, as the floral and wedding cake experts, will advise as to what works best here.) But all in all, we can re-create your dream wedding cake or wedding floral design based on a photo. Send it to us, let us have a look, and be happy with the results! (Of course, we do also have the disclaimer that while we do the best we can to re-create the exact look of the photo, we are also all individual artists and so there may be some slight variations.) Just like at the beauty salon when you bring in the photo of Jennifer Aniston’s hair style!
