I love how intricate, unique and artsy wedding cakes are getting! Gone are the days of the plain cake and in is the rise of hand painted wedding cakes (woo hoo!). These sweet confections are true works of art and almost look too good to eat…almost! As the reception centerpiece, hand-painted cakes are a great way to reflect your theme, the season (spring, fall, etc) or even match your invitations and stationary. Below are a few recent faves:
