Au Naturel

This wedding season is all about going au naturel.  No, I'm not talking about naked brides. Get your mind out of the gutter! I'm talking about the natural beauty of buttercream. There are so many ways to use buttercream to match the current trends, and this year is no exception. A lot of brides are having weddings in unique outdoor venues like barns, lakes or a friend's ranch (can you tell we're from TX??). So a perfectly, flawlessly smooth fondant cake wouldn't fit in there like it would in a traditional wedding. This is where textured buttercream cakes take the stage. Add some edible or fresh flowers and it's the perfect compliment to your tree stump cake stand and mason jars of sweet tea.
