Nine Cakes

March 19th, 2010 — Art of Entertaining, cakes

To be honest, I’ve been completely brain washed over the last decade when it comes to wedding cakes.  I sort of felt that if you don’t have fondant, you are going to be left with a messy, 80′s style confection of buttercream and lace frills and sloppy looking frosting flowers.  If you wanted style and pizazz, then you were going to have to endure a layer of rolled fondant over your baked delight and if you hated the texture or the test… well, it’s the price of beauty.

So I was delighted when I found out about Nine Cakes, whom I’d read about via Brooklyn Bride (she’s participating in the Urban Wed event).  I had a client on my hands who really hated fondant, and wanted simple, delicious goodness.  I thought I’d ask Betsy what her take on this was and if she could show me what people were doing with buttercream these days.  I was BEYOND surprised with the images of gorgeous confections that she sent my way.

Her buttercream cakes look just dreamy, with artful decorations that seem almost dreamy. AND the TASTE!  As light and airy as the cakes look and just so yummy. We sort of pigged out at the event at BAM a couple of weeks ago.  Here’s a pic of one of my FAVORITE of Betsy’s cakes, but for more cake porn, check out her delightful site.
