When choosing a groom’s cake design, it can be a little tricky to find the cake that so perfectly captures the style and personality of your guy. Generally, the couple chooses designs based on a Groom’s interests, hobbies, clubs, favorite tv shows/movies, or sports team.
We love to show off our Groom’s cakes here at The Bake Shoppe, but there are so many awesomely unique cakes for guys that we had to split them up into categories to post! One of the most popular of these genres is sports themed cakes.
Baseball cakes are so fun and there are so many custom fondant pieces that can be added to make each cake unique. Aside from team logos, custom pieces could be anything from replicas of favorite baseball hats to vintage baseball mits, pitcher’s mounds, and more!
It is very popular for couple to ask for chocolate covered strawberries on their cake and most of the time, they adorn the Groom’s cake. We like to make them extra special and match the theme of the cakes if we can which is why we love these chocolate covered strawberries with little white chocolate football laces on them.
This happens to be one of our favorite Groom’s cakes in The Bake Shoppe’s history! The couple sent photos of the Groom’s actual golf bag for us to replicate all of the details right down to his monogrammed golf towel.

For those of you who couldn’t make it to the bridal shows this season, we thought we would share some pictures of our 2012 Bridal Show cakes.
We went with a vintage shabby chic theme this year and really feel like we have caputured the essence of the trend in these cakes. Hope you enjoy!
Trying to incorporate a very feminine look to these cakes, our decorators too inspiration from dresses and accessories through the edible pearls, ruffles, appliques, and lace with the addition of delicate handmade sugar flowers.
Shabby chic usually has a traditional white and ivory color pallate, however, we couldn’t resist add a few pops of color here and there to add a bit of an eye catching easthetic to the design details.

Believe it or not, we have already seen quite a few Brides planning their fall 2012 Wedding. With respect to that, we thought it was appropriate to share one of our favorite fall weddings at Legacy Farms, Karen McNamara and Brad Frye with photography by Scoobie’s Photographic Images.
The covered pavillion in the courtyard is such a great spot for an outdoor ceremony. There are so many ways to customize this space as well! We have seen it transformed with such things as hanging lanterns from the rafters or stained glass window panels hung on the sides of the pavillion to combine the feel of a traditional church wedding with the great outdoors.
Karen and Brad’s Reception took place in the event center at Legacy Farms complete with dinner from A Catered Affair, dancing to tunes from JD’s Music, and cake from The Bake Shoppe.
The “See Rock City” sign on the property is one of our many favorite photo spots on the property. It provides such a unique backdrop for bridal party shots!
We’d like to offer a big Congrats and Thank You to newlyweds Karen and Brad for allowing us to be a part of their special day and share it with others! Hope their special day could be an inspiration to all those planning a fall 2012 wedding!
To see more photos from Karen and Brad’s wedding, check out their feature in this year’s The Pink Bride Nashville magazine. For info on Legacy farms please contact us via phone at 615-321-2394 or email at Kellie@maineventpro.com
This year we’ve noticed that the “natural” cake designs have been very popular. We love the organic look and feel of this cake trend! These types of cakes would be perfect in an eco-friendly or even vintage inspired wedding. We’ve put together a few of our favorites from The Bake Shoppe…enjoy!
Classic Stucco Design- We just loved the Burlap Detail! And the flowers add such a feminine touch.
Fresh Berries and Shortcake – A uniquely light approach to the traditional wedding cake!
Vintage Rose Garden – Love that the bottom tier of cake is made to resemble a tree stump with the roses climbing up the top tiers!
Wood Grain – Awesome way to incorporate a monogram in a non-traditional way
Cupcakes- The use of pallets as display cases for cupcakes…genius!

The best thing about Nashville is the combination of rural and city life. It is one of the only big cities in the U.S that can capture the essence of both! Allow guests to soak up the sites of Music City with a Rooftop wedding or reception! I mean, who wouldn’t want this view as the backdrop for their special event?
Although the weather is still chilly outside, now is the best time to start planning your warm weather wedding so we’ve chosen a few of our favorites to give you a sneak peek.
1. Aerial: This downtown private event space is located right downtown on Broadway and gives incredible views of the city’s nightlife
2. One Eleven Broadway: This is another venue located right downtown on Broadway. What sets this venue apart from the others is its prime location between the Cumberland River and the main strip!
3. Our very own Events @1418: We are located right in the heart of music city on church street and boast gorgeous exposed brick and harwood floors in our indoor space as well as an intimate rooftop terrace overlooking the city
4. Sambuca: Located in one of Nashville’s most desireable neighborhoods, The Gulch, Sambuca offers fabulous food and cocktails and a newly renovated rooftop terrace. This terrace is perfect for windy night because it is totally enclosed in floor to ceiling retractable glass doors that allow you to have that open-air feel when the weather is nice, while still allowing you to keep warm and enjoy the view when it isn’t!
5. The Renaissance Hotel: The current home of Nashville’s Convention Center, this modern hotel has a gorgeous rooftop pool and observation deck that would be perfect for outdoor weddings!
