Alice In Wonderland inspired cakes!

We were commissioned to create this beautiful trio of cakes for a very special young lady named Madison for her Bat Mitzvah party which was held in El Paso, Texas on Saturday, February 21, 2015.

Madison wanted the colors of the cake to co-ordinate with the party so we only used the light blue, red, black, white & gold. All items on the cakes were made from sugar including the Cheshire cat, queen of hearts crown and mad hatter pocket watch. 

YES, we shipped all 3 cakes and their handmade accessories to El Paso, Texas and YES everything arrived intact and on time.

What so many of you don't know is that we DO ship our handmade creations all across the nation and have done so for many, many years now.

Eagle Scout Cake

Congratulations to Dorian for the awesome achievement of Eagle Scout. This was a really fun Eagle Scout Cake to create. All of the badges were edible and we made one for each of the badges that Dorian earned. The 3D Eagle was also edible and created out of modeling chocolate.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Cake

We recently had the pleasure of creating a wedding cake for a couple that have been customers for a while. Instead of a traditional wedding cake they wanted one that would reflect their shared interest in the video game Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. We created this cake by painting the map on the bottom tier, and a helmet and sword sculpted with sugar. As always, everything on our cake was edible, however, the bride wanted the hemlet and sword as a keepsake.

Here at Couture Cakes we are excited to share that we have been selected as one of the top 100 best wedding cake designers in America by Brides Magazine. We are extremely proud to share the news with our customers. It is an honor to be considered one of the best cake designers in not only Chattanooga or Tennessee but in the entire country. Check out the current issue of Brides Magazine to see Couture Cakes listed as one of only 2 bakeries selected in Tennessee.

Congratulations to Patti & Mike on their recent marriage at the beautiful Walnut Hill Farm in Georgia. Pattie wanted a peacock themed wedding and a peacock cake with elegance. We are so glad Patti loved her peacock cake. The wedding was beautiful.

Adidas High Top Sneakers Cake

It's been a long time since I've had time to blog so I'm going to post a few updates on some of our favorite cakes that we have worked on over the past 6 months or so. I'll start with what is probably my favorite birthday cake to date. Not only because it was a cool replica of an Adidas High Top Hip Hop Sneaker but also because it was a birthday cake for our friend, the lovely CMT host Kourtney Hansen from her amazingly talented Jeremy McComb (check out jeremymccomb.com).

Everything on this cake, as with all of our cakes, was edible. The shoe was carved out of cake and the shoe box was cake. The biggest challenge we had with this cake was that it was difficult to find good pictures of the shoe and our only source was photo's Jeremy took with his cell phone which weren't the clearest but it was a huge surprise for Kourtney.

Jeremy & Madison Wedding @ Camp Dixie

We would like to congratulate Jeremy & Madison on their recent marriage. We thoroughly enjoyed making Madison's wedding cake. When we met with Madison to design her cake she had ideas about certain elements she liked on cakes but couldn't quite visualize how the final design would look in cake so it was a great treat for us to get to see Madison's reaction when we delivered the cake. It's not often we get to see the bride when we deliver cakes so it was awesome to see Madison's face light up as she looked over all the different elements we included in her cake. This 5 tier cake was huge...it's hard to tell the scale in the photo... it was 32" tall...The bride chose 3 tiers of Almond Cream Cake filled with fresh Organic Strawberry Coulis and Almond Italian Meringue Buttercream and 2 tiers of Dark Belgian Chocolate Cake with soft creamy Caramel and Caramel Buttercream.

Monkey Themed Baby Shower Cupcakes

This weekend we made some monkey themed cupcakes for a baby shower. The customer brought us in a napkin with polka dots and whimsical monkeys for inspiration. She chose three flavors for the shower...banana cream cupcake with banana Italian meringue buttercream, vanilla almond cupcake with Tahitian vanilla bean Italian meringue buttercream and Belgian dark chocolate cupcake with chocolate Italian meringue buttercream...remember we can make custom cupcakes to go with any party theme so if you are looking for the best cupcakes in Chattanooga visit us at 5228 Hixson Pike, next to Abba's house.

Thomas The Tank Engine Cake

Last May for Devin's 2nd birthday we made a Thomas The Tank Engine themed cake which was designed like the train station with all the trains peeking out of the side. This year for Devin's 3rd birthday he decided he wanted another Thomas cake so to step it up from last year we decided to make him a 3d Thomas the Tank Engine cake. I think this is probably one of my favorite birthday cakes we have made and love how it turned out. We were worried that Devin might want to play with Thomas since he looked so real but instead he was fascinated by it and decided he needed to sit and guard the cake instead of playing outside on the bounce house with his friends! Devin was also quick to point out that Thomas is number 1 and not number 3...we knew that of course but thought since Devin was turning 3 it would be a good way to include it on the cake.

Joel & Candace Wedding @ River Inn, Chattanooga

We would like to congratulate Joel & Candace on their recent marriage at River Inn, Chattanooga. To compliment her organic green wedding Candace chose a 4 tier wedding cake with branches & leaves climbing up the side. For Joel we created a World of Warcraft cake. Thank you Joel & Candace for letting us be a part of your special day.
