I am in awe of the cakes designed by Shinmin Li at I Dream Of Cake. These are not just pretty pieces of decor…they are bonafide works of art. Watching this video, I was struck by the passion she brings to her work with wedding cakes. Her creative process is fascinating: her inspiration for a wedding cake is drawn from the phrases a couple might use to describe their wedding. Such as, “Icelandic dream” or “fairytale romance.” Then the design evolves as a natural, organic process. Check out the close ups of the cake in the video. So spongy and light…man, my mouth is watering. This is NOT the cake for the someone who wants simple and plain. Her designs include cake sculptures of Asian teapots, purses, and even a cascading wedding gown. These babies are labor intensive…which means, expensive. Priced at $10-25 per slice, the designer might spend 65 hours creating each masterpiece. No run of the mill wedding cakes here. The “icelandic dream” cake shown in the video: Look at the detail of the “wood” on this one. You can see the knots! This one is so eclectic, “orchid meets zebra.” Looking at these wedding cake pictures has made me SO HUNGRY! Time for lunch…
