Every person I meet has an opinion on all the fabulous details of our Today show wedding, and I think every one of them is voting—more than 100,000 people vote every week! This week America will choose the cake. Which one do you like?
Cody, Martha, Ann and Jessica posed with Wendy Kromer’s confection, which is a vision in Tiffany blue. (Wendy, a longtime friend of Weddings, also made my wedding cake, and the cake on the cover of our next issue!) The medallions and pearl swags were inspired by Victorian jewelry-the sorts of things you might have found in the window of Tiffany not long after it opened in 1837.
Not only did Baked NYC make these dainty cupcakes, they whipped up the stand, too! The buttercream icing on each treat was piped to make a smooth “pillow” shape, then topped with a pearl or a bow.
Though most flowers fade, these—made by Sylvia Weinstock from sugar!—will last for years. Each of the cake’s buttercream-covered tiers is wrapped in a pastel band that matches the bouquets, which make a nice keepsake.
The tiers of Gail Watson’s cake are draped with strips of silver sugar fashioned to look like satin ribbons. Between the tiers are pavé dragée-covered separators, and the cake is topped with a sugar pavé monogram.
If you missed this week’s show, you can watch it online here. (Don’t forget to vote while you’re there!) Tune in next week to find which cake wins, and to see Jessica and Cody’s honeymoon options.

I recently blogged about a woman in Tucson that does cupcake towers. If executed well, it's a great way to have several different kinds of cake in an elegant presentation.

I like Wendy Kromer's cake best, so elegant! Why can't I find a perfect cake like that? I'm trying to find a Cape Cod theme cake that doesn't have shells or anchors on it, impossible!

I love the Sylvia Weinstock cake...her cakes are always gorgeous and the flowers never seem to look like they are made of sugar.

I think Wendy Kromer makes the most beautiful cakes. I love her Damask cake that was featured in Weddings. I love every cake I have ever seen her do. The cupcakes are cute, but so trendy. For me I am just more traditional, I guess...
