When one of Delhi’s best wedding photographers, Mahima Bhatia, got engaged, she picked one of Delhi’s best cake decorators to create a beautiful baby pink & gold design for her! A cute cupid’s arrow that goes through 2 engagement rings, butterflies and edible sugar flowers make this one of the prettiest engagement cakes I’ve ever seen.

Who doesn’t love watercolours used in weddings?! And this dessert is really pretty! The touch of gold foil & lavender flowers adds some much-needed dimension to an otherwise pink cake.

“From the day we met to the endless meets, the butterflies haven’t left but settled ever so quietly. They found home_. I found_ home_.” This is just one of the many romantic quotes that’s been printed on the top & bottom tiers of this peach & gold cake. They kept the cake topper simple – the wedding hashtag – since there was already plenty of text in the overall design.

While most engagement cakes are single or two-tier, the odd one might have three. But this one takes engagement cakes to a whole other level! It’s an intricately decorated 5-tier beauty. But once you realise it was created by a popular cake decorator for her own engagement party, you’ll understand why it’s no an ordinary engagement cake.

This simple 3-tier engagement cake took the basic peach and cream shades and made it beautifully modern. Ruffles go all the way to the top with the two colours creating an ombre effect.
