Every Love Story is Beautiful

We have talked about it before, geode's are super trendy and popular right now in the world of cakes. Geode's are beautiful no matter what shape, color or type you see, they are beautiful. Nature's work at it's finest. Geode's are a lot like love. There are many different types of love, each beautiful in it's own way. Liz's Geode Love Cake was used in a beautiful, love inspired shoot with a breathtaking vintage mountain theme. You can find more photos and information about this gorgeous shoot over on the blog by Rustic Wedding Chic.

The Geode Love Cake Tutorial not only teaches you how to make a beautiful version of edible geodes and a crystal spacer between tiers but also how to get that unique marbling that is also crazy in right now. In fact, the marbling, which emulates the pattern found in agate, another beautiful rock found in nature, is almost always paired with the geode look on cakes. The two compliment each other really well. Needless to say the tutorial is full of info every cake decorator needs right now and can undoubtedly use in many applications.

The entire shoot is filled with beautiful details and gorgeous glimpses of the lovely couple who are dressed to perfection. You can't help but find yourself mesmerized in the beauty of this shoot and theme.

Love is a beautiful thing. No matter what form it comes in, it is beautiful. It is something meant to be cherished and appreciated, not criticized and belittled. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims in Orlando. <3
