Tres leches cake with a black magic rose glamelia as the topper. I selected coconut shavings for the outside so it would cover the icing (I saw some horrible iced cakes lol) Rented the acyrlic cake stand too... Tasted delish!!

 

Your cake is perfect! I looove tres leches, I didn't think they could do a tres leches cake. But it looks so yummy. It's simple and elegant and photographed really nicely. Most of the pictures I have seen of caked don't impress me much. It's not exactly the resorts specialty haha. but I do love that you can buy edible decorations on Etsy and spruce it up. Our colors are blue and we have peacock elements here and there. Etsy sells edible peacock feathers for a cake so I was thinking of buying them and adding them to the cake. My sister is a professional baker- I wish they would allow her to bake my cake in the resort kitchen haha but she did say she would help decorate it and they said that would be permissible.

 

For our AHR- I want a cake with our photos on one tier and another tier with words the define our relationship- places we have traveled, hobbies, etc. My sister made me a photocake for our bdays (my fiance and I have our bdays 3 days apart) and thats where I got the idea from. The photocake doesnt work in hot climates because its made with rice paper which does not respond well to heat (it starts to sweat and the colors run- that actually happened because she made the photocake on an icecream cake so it had moisture.) 

 

I found this picture of a simple cake that matched our colors. She said it is all stencil work which is easy- just need the airbrush machine or the edible markers or paint- but we need a fondant base and thats an upgrade so we might forego it in favor of something more resort feasible.

Matt, do you know of any bakeries in Playa Del Carmen that make gluten free cakes? My MIL and half of my fiance's family's can't eat gluten and I haven't had any luck looking online.

 

Thanks!

Lately I've been thinking of doing cupcakes instead of a full cake. I'm not sure everyone will eat the cake since from what I've heard most people are so full after all the food that they opt not to have any. I figured with cupcakes each guest can more easily take one back to their room. Also I LOVE cupcakes so it just seems more me anyway. If anyone has cupcake inspiration pics please share!
