Damask Wedding Cake by Vineyard Sweets

Damask is a fabric that was introduced in the Middle Ages and still has a strong appeal in contemporary wedding decor. This cake was a mixture of design ideas inspired by the bride’s personal tastes as well as the overall theme of a formal ‘black tie’ affair.

Gorgeous work (as always) by the ladies at Vineyard Sweets in Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Swish Loves This!

Anthropologie inspired wedding at Inn on the Twenty

Okay, we’ve got a bit of a different post for you this time ... all you wedding purists might want to hang on to your seats!

From the florist / designer: “When we first met with our bride, she told us that she didn’t want her wedding to *feel* like a wedding. She said she loved the store Anthropologie! We’re big Anthropologie fans and we decided to get involved a little bit more with the staging aspect of her wedding ... the fabrics, pillows and the antiques ... all the lovely, lovely details!”

Vineyard Sweets: Niagara on the Lake Wedding Cake Design

The concept of a wedding cake dates back centuries and, traditionally, cutting the wedding cake is the first task performed by the newly married couple. We chatted with cake artists Ruth Aspinall and Eda Marion of Vineyard Sweets to learn a little more about what makes their work so Swish!

Give us three words that describe Vineyard Sweets.
Professional. Creative. Quality.

What is your specialty?
We specialize in custom wedding cakes, but we also do other event and celebration cakes, cupcakes, cookies and sweet treats!

What makes your wedding cakes so unique?
We concentrate hard on offering both beauty and taste. Too often a wedding cake is pretty to look at, but the taste doesn’t live up to expectations. We pride ourselves on both the beauty and flavour of our work!

Any advice for prospective brides investigating your wedding cake services?
Come prepared. Do some homework ... look through magazines or online to have some idea of what you’re looking for. Look at both colour and design. Also, have an idea of what your budget might be ... as realistically as possible.

Talk about your philosophy on ingredients.
We use only fresh ingredients ... and that will never, ever change. No preservatives. No chemicals. We use as much local produce as we can and even make our own preserves using locally grown fruit.

What are some trends for the season?
Colour itself seems to be a trend. In particular, greens and purples were big in 2009. This year more pink and turquoise is showing up.

What inspires you?
Most of our inspiration comes from the bride herself. We spend a lot of time with our brides to get a feel for their personalities, likes, dislikes, etc. – only then will we start working on a design.

What do you love most about the wedding industry?
What we love most is the joy! We are dealing with happy people and it spills over into what we do. We also love working with other talented Niagara wedding vendors. Niagara is a relatively small community and we love our relationships with other wedding industry professionals.

Share your latest fun project!
We recently designed a birthday cake for an actor here in Niagara on the Lake (there’s a picture on our blog). It consisted of a clapboard, stacked film reels and a sculpture of the actor. A real challenge, but so much fun!!!

What music to you listen to while you’re designing in the kitchen?
We run the gamut, depending on our mood. Jazz, pop, opera and even classical!
