The Swoon

Want something fun to do this Sunday afternoon in Dallas? Come visit us at The Swoon! This is a marketplace of indie party vendors selling and giving away their treats and goods. All of the RedRaspberry goodies are FREE, so it's a great way to taste our cakes and get to know us. There are swag bags for the first 50 guests, so get there early if you want even more free goodies! Complimentary parking is available in the parking lot and side streets. Tickets are available at the door for $10 (cash or credit), if not purchased at Prekindle by today for $8. Here is a list of the vendors  who we get to rub shoulders with. All of the details are in this ad and the website it links to.  And below the Swoon ad is a little sneak peak at one of our new display cakes we've been working on for the event! See you Sunday!

Groom's Cakes

Grooms get the shaft when it comes to weddings. They have no say in the details - and most of them don't mind letting their bride take the spotlight. But every guy needs a place to express his personality in the middle of all of the flowers, fabric and fluff. The groom's cake is the perfect platform for your guy to show his love for his favorite team, show, food or hobby. Or to keep the focus on your love for each other, just go with the classic chocolate cake in an updated way.

Tall Tiers

You say "double-barrel," I say "double-height," let's not call the whole thing off. It's just a tall cake. There are countless ways to arrange the tiers of a double-height cake. Whether it's one tall tier or five, a tall base or top, it's a great way to bring personality to your cake.

Navy as a Neutral

Navy is a classic, preppy base that goes with almost any color combo, and it's back in style right now! Pair it with coral or light pink to bring some masculinity to a girly wedding. Put it next to yellow or orange for major contrast. Or use it with gold, white and neutrals for a classy, beachy look.

Ruffle Cakes

What wedding is complete without a little ruffle? Thankfully, ruffles have moved past the bridesmaids' shoulders and on to the much classier ruffle cake. There are a lot of styles to be had with the generic title of "ruffle cake," so here are some of the most popular looks.

Tons of Texture

One of the best ways to make an all-white cake interesting is to add texture. It keeps it feeling classic and traditional, but it's anything but boring. Whether the pattern is perfectly symmetrical or imperfectly messy, it really brings interest to a cake like nothing else. Since so many textures are inspired by fabric, it's also a great way to bring in details from the wedding dress.

Lovely Lace

Lace is a classic look for all things wedding. There are so many different designs that lace can take on, and all of them can be recreated in cake form. Whether you're having a casual outdoor get together or an all-out black tie extravaganza, a lace cake will be the icing on the...cake that is your wedding.
