This four-tier cake “hits on two trends: prisms,
and the hand-painted cake trend,” Maginn says.
“Sometimes a bride wants a soft look, but also
wants to be on trend, so this brings it both
together. It’s kind of masculine, with sharp
edges, but it’s not too girlie, and has a soft
side.” Multiple prisms were carefully cut from
fondant, then colored with edible copper dust
and set against a backdrop of warm red, fading
diagonally downward in an ombre style. “It’s a
soft, warm color, contrasting with the straight,
modern lines of the prisms,” Maginn says, with
edible 24K gold leaf accents “because I can
never resist burgundy and gold together.” This
cake would likely appeal to couples interested
in art and design, or interesting visual effects,
she says, noting that she once created a similar
cake for a graphic designer “who wanted
something different and striking.”
