We all know cake and cupcake tasting is one of the best parts of planning your wedding. But as tasty as the traditional cupcake may be, many wedding guests may have gluten allergies or dietary restrictions. And we know you won’t want any guests missing out on your delicious dessert. Now you can take the worry out of your wedding cake since The Cupcake Collection offers gluten-free and vegan cupcakes!
With flavors such as chocolate, strawberry, red velvet (gasp!), wedding cake, marble and strawberry cheesecake, there are many options for your gluten-free guests.
Contact The Cupcake Collection to set up a tasting and give them a heads-up you’re interested in one of their gluten-free or vegan cupcakes. http://www.thecupcakecollection.com

Brides are sometimes intimidated by custom options for their wedding: couture gowns, designer cakes, custom invitations. We get it. But, we often makes assumptions and don't realize that we may actually pay about the same for a mass-made item when there are high-quality options available that could fit our budget.
Take buttercream cakes by Vicki, of Signature Cakes. You've seen these beauties often showcased at Mint Springs Farm and adorned with stunning florals. The taste is no different than the flavors that Signature Cakes is known for, and the design, while not as ornate, is ideal for most brides.
Instead of running to Publix or a lesser known baker out of fear, know that a scrumptious, textured buttercream cake (which by the way is all the rave) may not be as far out of your budget as you think.
Here are some of our favorite buttercream creations by Signature Cakes by Vicki.

If there is one thing I know, it's stunning and tasty wedding cakes. Unfortunately, you usually don't get great taste and great design in one cake. Most couples find themselves falling in love with the look, but then have to settle on boring flavors or, even worse, dryness! And while you may be content showcasing a beautiful cake on your big day, what most of your guests will remember is the taste. Yes, people will marvel at your wedding cake photos on Facebook and Instragram, and they won't ever know from your pics that your cake was dry. However, most of the folks who actually attend your wedding really look forward to your cake's taste. After all, it is the finale to your wedding reception menu.
I hadn't really given much thought to how guests perceive your cake until I spoke with Vicki of Signature Cakes. It makes sense, though; guests remember great food. They look forward to retelling friends about the wedding menu and the cake. In fact, they miss most of the details that brides generally obsess over (like colors and veils), but they never miss great food.
What brides consistently love about Signature Cakes is that Vicki starts with a great tasting (and moist) cake in a number of flavors. From there, she gets to know the couple and designs a cake just for them. If you've read any of our cake stories, you'll find taste and design mentioned by all of her brides. They love their cake - in both design and taste.
After all, you really shouldn't have to settle for anything less.

I recently heard a fashion designer mention that the trend of the year is confidence. That's a trend that I can support! According to Signature Cakes by Vicki, another trend, especially among Nashville brides, is originality. While some brides scour Pinterest and wedding blogs for wedding cakes to duplicate, even more are turning inward and sharing their ideas with artists like Vicki who can take those ideas and create something truly personal.
Below are a few cakes designed by Signature Cakes by Vicki for Nashville wedding receptions. Don't be afraid to trust a pro like Vicki to create not just a tasty cake, but one that is a work of art that reflects who you are as a couple.

Word art cake and Gold and black cake
