Cake Opera Co. at The Wedding Show

The Wedding Co.’s annual Wedding Show is an event that you will surely find both newly engaged couples and industry folk feverishly flocking to. For us, this spectacular affair is not only a great way to reunite with peers & meet new clients, but it is also a venue where Cake Opera Co. can stage its inventive imagination and provocative themes.

This year, our avant garde black and white cake display was inspired by several different evocative themes. We explored the art of calligraphy, the naivete of love letters and the randomness of spilled ink. We also drew inspiration from the manicured gardens of Versailles; sculpted hedges of black rose bushes made from fabric and paper sprouting cakes instead of neoclassical fountains. Finally, decadent black lobsters and jewel encrusted oysters suggest a definite influence by 17th century Dutch Still Lifes and often morose symbolism in Vanitas paintings.
