We’d be lying if we said one of our very favorite parts of a wedding day wasn’t the CAKE! Who can agree? When you’re getting down to the details, don’t be afraid to think outside the *cake* box when it comes to flavors and styles. Your dessert is a chance to wow your guests and give them a taste of something truly one-of-a-kind! We asked a few of the top Houston wedding cake artists to show off their skills for our newest Brides of Houston issue. Scroll through the photos below to see their outstanding cake creations and take note of all the mouthwatering ideas. Bon appétit!

Best Houston Wedding Cake Artists

Buttercream Houston

“After years of training and experience, I was fortunate enough to work alongside Upscale Chef’s and develop the skills needed for delicate pastries. Once I became a mom, I wanted to enhance that joy in my life. The decision was clear- I would combine my catering experience and surround myself with LOVE and kindness; it was the perfect recipe for our new Small Business ‘Buttercream Houston’. We want to create beauty through pastries, that couples and families can enjoy for years to come. We proudly serve the greater Houston area and Brazoria County!” – Esmerleda, Head Pastry Chef of Buttercream Houston
