Reindeer Cakes

As regular readers of Cake Geek & our Facebook page know, we’ve developed a slight obsession with deer themed cakes lately (if you missed it see our recent super cute Baby Deer Cakes feature). So we’ve decided to kick off our Christmas cake decorating coverage this year with, your guessed it…reindeer cakes!

The beautiful stag’s head wedding cake above is what’s largely responsible for our deer cake crush and was designed by Dana Smyl Event Florist left, (image by Precious Pictures Photography via Style Me Pretty). It has to be one of the most stylish rustic wedding cakes designs of the year, absolutely perfect for an autumn/winter woodland style wedding.

(For more deer antler inspired wedding cakes see our feature on Woodland Wedding Cakes Part 2 and also, Wildlife Inspired Wedding Cakes.)

On the right is, what we initially thought was a spectacular sculpted christmas reindeer cake, but turns out to be a lavish cake topper, one of the beautiful creations of by Patricia Minish Designs. Nonetheless, we think its a terrifc inspirational piece for cake designers sitting down to design an amazing christmas cake creation this Christmas.
