Brenda's Cake Gallery Takes The Cake For The Best Wedding Cake






The Winner of the BEST CAKE goes to ..............
Brenda' Cake Gallery!!!


When I walked into Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden yesterday, it was just a way to enjoy nature and the good weather. I had no idea what I was in store for!
While entering the GRAND Main Room, to the right, where cider is served during the Winter Wonderland exhibit, I noticed a small table with three cakes atop it. Simple, and sophisticated, these three cakes sat, as if to be quite conservative and shy, with all of these great big "hoo-ha's" of cake displays in the other rooms and outside. I suppose that it is every caterers and Bakers desire to be in the Great Room or out in the garden. I could not begin to guess. But neatly and very delicatly sitting on this table to my right were three beautiful,elegant and classy cakes. If all of the cakes at Daniel Stowe were Famous Icons from the past, the Great Room and Garden were full of Socialites like Marilyn Monroes,Ivana Trumps and Elizabeth Taylors. To my Right was a table where in the form of cakes, Grace Kelly and Jaqueline Kennedy sat. Quietly, with the UTMOST class,there they were, very refined and distinguished with magnificent TASTE!!!! These were ,in my opinion the best tasting cakes at the show yesterday at Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden! There were sooo many delicious cakes to chose from that the decision was hard. There were sooo moist and fluffy, with so many remarkable designs to chose from.These are just a few that were out on display, but in the books, you saw so much variety. I myself typically like the bold, and they do they have it! Yet the desings they had on display were timeless and elegant.The designs were so eloquent and precise, with colors that were vivid and striking, yet not overdone in the least. All I can say is that they were stunning and absolutely beautiful! IF you are a Trendy Mindy, they cater to your needs to! Don't you love that blue !?! But TASTE is their signature!
I wanted to eat more and more. The ICING was to die for! Although I had buttercream, as you know, most wedding cakes are made with Fondant, but I hear it is equally as tasty and decadent.
Brenda's Cake Gallery has been in business since May of 2001. Brenda still makes many of these cakes herself with the love and dedication that led her to open this business 9 years ago. She took decorating classes 30 years ago for a hobby, and finally opened up her own shop and is sharing her delicious and delectable recipes with others in the area. She makes all kind of treats, ranging from pound cake to cookies and almond bars, but her specialties are the gorgeous wedding cakes that we see here. Southern Baking at it's finest!
The cakes that they had samples of were lemon and almond with buttercream frosting. Although I am an Almond Girl myself (it was delicious and just moist and fluffy) the lemon was EXCEPTIONAL! My daughter HATES lemon flavor. She likes lemonade, and THAT IS IT. She LOVED the lemon, and we may have her birthday cake made by these lovely ladies!(Andrea doesn't even like CAKE, so that speaks volumes!) But while on the phone with the charming and professional Brenda, she informed me that the limits for flavors are endless and they cater to everyone individually. No list here.You want Chocolate, you got it. French Vanilla,Carrot,Coconut,Red Velvet (ARMADILLO for the Grooms Cake??? Watch Steel Magnolias). She could probably have you blueberry!

  2. I'm really liking the blue wedding cake...very pretty. I like the simplicity of the cake itself. The accents are just enough to give it a little extra something special.

    Great pics.
