“Wedding Idea: 18 cakes all made by important women in the bride & groom’s lives! Such a fun & tasty experience for your guests!” she wrote in an onscreen text overlay.
She added in the caption: “So many fun flavors & such a sweet experience for the guests! The ladies that made the cakes were all SO excited to see them on display too!”
From “sunshine cake,” a pineapple infused cake with mandarin oranges, to blueberry lemon cake with cream cheese frosting, the cakes came in a variety of flavors, shapes and colors.
There were several variations of chocolate cake, including plain chocolate, coffee chocolate mascarpone, and chocolate mocha. Other flavors were: red velvet, strawberry, lemon, lavender carrot, white chocolate raspberry, raspberry almond coconut, peanut butter and angel food cake. Two women even brought cheesecakes, with one being colored mint green.
The bride explained on Instagram that she and the groom gave their loved ones free rein when it came to choosing what kind of cake to make.
“We decided to ask important women in our life to contribute by making any flavor cake they wanted, we ended up with such a sweet and diverse selection!” Camille wrote.
