The Venue: AutoCamp Cape Cod
AutoCamp Cape Cod is a dream setting for couples drawn to outdoor-inspired, modern-rustic weddings. Surrounded by trees and designed with intentional simplicity, the venue blends the beauty of Cape Cod with a relaxed luxury feel. It’s especially perfect for couples who want:
A destination-style wedding without feeling overly formal
A setting that feels connected to nature
A design-forward space that doesn’t need much extra décor
The natural textures and neutral tones of AutoCamp made it the perfect backdrop for a rustic wedding cake with soft, organic details.
The Cake Design: Rustic Texture Meets Cape Cod Florals
The wedding cake featured a light, bark-inspired buttercream finish, designed to feel organic, natural, and perfectly at home at AutoCamp Cape Cod. While it may read at first glance like a semi-frosted or naked cake, this design was intentionally finished with soft, horizontal buttercream lines—giving the cake a polished, complete look while still speaking to the outdoorsy, woodland-inspired setting of the venue.
The cake was adorned with a cascade of white roses and bright summer blue hydrangeas, provided by the couple’s florist and carefully placed onsite by our team. Using food-safe techniques, we wrapped the stems and ensured the flowers never came into direct contact with the cake, allowing the florals to feel abundant and natural while remaining completely safe.
The mix of crisp white roses and vibrant blue hydrangeas added contrast, movement, and a fresh summer feel—bridging rustic texture with Cape Cod elegance.
All florals were placed using food-safe methods, ensuring the flowers never came into direct contact with the cake.
The Showstopper: A Custom Bobblehead Cake Topper
What truly made this cake unforgettable was the custom bobblehead cake topper. Designed to resemble the couple, it added a playful, personal touch that instantly became a conversation starter.
Custom toppers like this are a favorite among modern couples because they:
Reflect personality and humor
Feel meaningful without being overly formal
Photograph incredibly well
Paired with the rustic buttercream and fresh florals, the topper struck the perfect balance between sentimental and fun—a combination we love.
Why This Cake Worked So Well
This cake was successful because every detail felt intentional:
Rustic buttercream complemented the natural setting
Hydrangeas tied the design to Cape Cod without feeling themed
The custom bobblehead topper added a one-of-a-kind personal element
Together, these choices created a cake that felt relaxed, joyful, and completely aligned with the couple’s vision and venue.
