This year, Southern Bride & Groom shot our Cake Shoot at the Highgrove Estate in Fuquay-Varina. This gorgeous country home overlooks Laurel Lake, and everywhere you turn is a picturesque setting for your big day. From the beautifully manicured gardens to the expansive banquet hall, you can’t go wrong at the Highgrove!

Now, prepare to drool over these delectable desserts created by SB&G’s talented bakeries, located throughout the Triangle. Thanks to everyone who made this shoot possible, it was a huge success!

You can’t help but smile when you see this cake from Catering Works. Three round tiers are draped in sunshine yellow fondant and accented with bright florals in hues of red, lavender, peach, white and pink. This is the perfect cake to ring in spring!

This cake, also by the talented bakers at Catering Works, was inspired by St. Germain Liqueur — combining a racy red with a soft blue to evoke Parisian Bohemian flair. Everything about this cake is customized, down to the handmade “cake stand koozie.”

These cakes, both from Edible Art Bakery, feature stunning detail. On the left, a traditional white, three-tier cake is upgraded to modern with a splash of tropical color and rhinestone bands framing each tier. On the right, a soft yellow, square cake features a delicately crafted blooming tree — perfect for welcoming spring!

This fun dessert, also by Edible Art Bakery, is a topsy-turvy style asymmetrical cake featuring hues of white and silver. On the right, you an see a close up of the incredible detail these talented bakers put into their work.

As the SB&G team is chock-full of UNC grads, this cake makes our hearts sing! Its charming blue background is decorated with overlapping circles, which symbolize the wedding band. This creation from Sweet Memories Bakery is sure to catch your guests’ eye!

These two stunners, also by Sweet Memories Bakery, show the range of styles you can choose for your dessert! On the left, a traditional wedding cake is made into an artistic creation with hand-painted flowers. And on the right, treat your guests to an all-white pastry parade of cookies, cupcakes, cake, and cake pops!

Once in a Blue Moon Bakery gives a nod to the South with these cakes. We love this darling duo of cakes featuring the North Carolina State flower — the Dogwood!

These cakes, also by Once in a Blue Moon Bakery, feature simple textures and design. Enjoy Blue Moon’s cakes, prepared grandma’s style, with your favorite all-nautral fillings and flavors!

The amazing artists at Sugarland took inspiration for this gorgeous blue ombre cake from a retro-styled blue bridal gown. Ombre is one of this year’s hottest trends, and we adore the sweet floral details!

Sugarland went for an all-blue theme this year! On the left, a stunning sea glass cake is the perfect touch for a coastal wedding. Its shimmer and intricate detail truly depict the beautiful sea glass you’d find on the shore! On the right, Sugarland hits another big trend this year — chevron. And, we all know we’re suckers for anything with a monogram!

At the Highgrove Estate, brides can opt for a fun twist on the typical wedding dessert — an interactive s’mores bar! Guests will love this option, complete with toasting sticks, marshmallows, chocolate squares, graham crackers and a fire pit!

If you want cupcakes, there’s no better place than Gigi’s Cupcakes! These sweet pink and white delicacies are a combination of Mississippi Mud and Kentucky Bourbon with decadent cream cheese icing.
