let them eat pretty cake

I didn't have a wedding cake.  I was never really into cake, but my husband and I love cupcakes, so we had a cupcake tower from Vanilla Bake Shop (my favorite place for cupcakes!).  I loved them and so did our guests.  But sometimes I see a gorgeous cake, more a work of art than a dessert, and I dream about what cake I would have chosen for my wedding.  Here are some beauties that I've been collecting.
