Buttercream Cake Decorating on CW23's "Winging It"

As always, we had a great time on "Winging It, Buffalo Style" this morning. We brought our friend, Shannon Pilarski of Creative Creations Cakery, and shared her delicious Italian Meringue Buttercream recipe. How adorable are the cakes we did?!

Wedding Planning - Buffalo Style!

Leave it to the KC You There and Winging It Buffalo Style teams to have the crazy idea to plan a wedding in less than 2 weeks! When they asked if we wanted to be a part of it, we did not hesitate to agree to be on board with providing the dessert for such an event. 

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most fun elements (especially from our point of view) is planning the cake! We're teaming up with our favorite, Creative Creations Cakery, to design a one-of-a-kind wedding dessert experience. 

Lately, brides have been opting for a dessert table feel for their wedding. However, you don't have to go crazy with different desserts. Depending on the size of your reception, you can pair a smaller tiered cake with levels of cupcakes to give it dimension and your guests choices. 

We will be sharing the planning process as we prepare for the wedding Friday, LIVE on CW23 at 8am - On Twitter, follow Team LP @lolapearlbakes and KC @kcyouthere!

Wedding Cake Trends

'Tis the season for wedding planning! 

We recently did a feature on wedding cake trends on kcyouthere.wordpress.com. Here are the highlights and some of our favorite tips:

• It’s important to plan ahead with ordering your wedding cake. Making an appointment quickly is key to do months in advance. It's never too early! 
• A very popular design is having piping that matches the embroidery or lace on your gown. Dividing up the layers with different designs and a colored ribbon is also a unique twist of tradition.
• Don't be afraid of fondant! It helps create a clean finish for looks like chevron and ruffles. However, with the right amount of skill, a ruffle cake can be created using buttercream. 

Happy planning! xo
