Black, White, & Red Wedding Cakes
19. January 2011 by Parker.
One of the most frequent color combinations I get for weddings is Black, White, & Red. Perhaps this is due to the fact that it can be designed in so many different ways from Victorian to Gothic Punk to Sophisticated Elegance to Playful and Whimsical. And maybe that’s why it is my favorite color scheme as well. So here’s some pretty cakes to demonstrate this point:
Obviously this cake was for a Halloween themed wedding or a truly punk union. I wonder what flavor the actual cake is?
I love the Topsy-Turvy effect of this first cake. Then again, I’m a sucker for a Harlequin pattern on both cakes….
This cake could easily be used for a wedding or a Queen of Hearts themed party. Down the rabbit hole, anyone?
Here are two examples of more sophisticated cakes.
I wanted to include these two side by side since the first one demonstrates too much detail work for my taste. Though I suspect it was used for an Indian themed wedding and made to look like Henna in which case, it is a beautifully done cake. The one on the right, however, is the perfect combination of whimsy, sophistication, and theme for me!

Steampunk Fashion
3. January 2011 by Parker.
For those who are unfamiliar with it, Steampunk is a fairly new term that is used for the Neo-Victorian era when everything ran on steam. It’s a mash up of punk meets Victorian, two of my all time favorite styles. So here’s a look at some of my top looks:
I know corsets caused tons of physical pain back then so I’m completely grateful to new manufacturing which allows us to wear them today. Plus, who can resist a comfy pair of knee high granny boots?
Eye patches, monocles, pilot goggles, and periscope all take precedent in this realm.
I love her Steampunk Circus Ringmaster look!
One of the appeals to this look is the harsh fabrics against soft tones and embellishments. There is just something very feminine about it all underneath!
Speaking of feminine….
I’m a sucker for a an aviation hat or vintage keys any day!
And who can resist the petticoats and bustles…
