Looking for the perfect wedding cake? Trying to find someone to create the perfect cake for your perfect day is just one of the many difficult tasks you’ll face when planning your wedding. If my opinion matters at all, I’d like you to consider Kathleen Gutierrez of The Bombshell Bakery to create your wedding cake.

Kathleen is an old college friend of mine. We worked together at our college newspaper, where I was executive editor and she served as the entertainment editor, so I can personally attest to her work ethic. She’s also a hilarious person with empathy for the stressed-out bride, since she’s been in that particular position for, oh, about a year now.

Kathleen is wildly creative, as you can see from her cakes. I particularly loved the look of the Beauty and the Beast cake, but the above and below cakes are magazine-quality wedding cakes. I’m thinking that Kathleen probably was the person who used flowers to decorate the cakes, seeing as how they are done in a consistently tasteful, beautiful style.

I included the fish cake (heheh) just because I thought it was so cute. Love the waves and the bubbles.

The next two cakes, I think, are my favorite. I love the use of the dyed purple dendrobium flowers and I also love the usage of the cobalt blue sashes to decorate the cake.

And of course, Kathleen is well versed with the cupcake cake.

As for the taste, I can personally attest that you won’t have to worry about pretty, but non-tasty cakes. Kathleen created a cake for my baby shower this past summer that was two layers — one chocolate, and one raspberry. My goodness, we devoured it. It was delicious.
