Every new beginning deserves a celebration of its own. And as Colette Lola believes, it's not a celebration without cake!
Before the wedding day arrives, a bridal shower offers a moment to pause, gather with the people who matter most and celebrate the friendships and memories that have shaped the bride-to-be's journey.
For Joyce and Ellaine, two brides preparing for their weddings in Bali, their bridal showers in Jakarta were made extra special by the people closest to them. Although their stories and personal styles were different, both celebrations shared one thoughtful detail: a custom heart-shaped cake created by Colette Lola to honor love, friendship and the excitement of a new beginning.
J's Bridal Shower: A Little Piece of Home, Surrounded by Friendship
For J, a New Yorker preparing to tie the knot in Bali, a few days in Jakarta offered a chance to return to her home base, where much of her family and closest friends live. Before the wedding festivities began, her longtime girlfriends has something special planned.
Having gone to school together in New York, the group had shared years of friendship before finding themselves back in Jakarta. With the wedding approaching, they saw an opportunity to bring everyone together again for an intimate surprise bridal shower, complete with a sleepover to make the occassion even more memorable.
And, of course, no sleepover celebration would be complete without cake.
J's friends reached out to Colette Lola to create a custom heart-shaped Dream Cake in her favorite colors, white and pink. Designed around a romantic palette, the cake brought a personal touch to the gathering while reflecting J's style and the affection her friends had put into planning the surprise.
Inside, the cake featured an Earl Grey and strawberry filling, bringing together fragrant tea notes and fruity brightness in a combination that made the cake just as memorable to enjoy as it was to admire.
As the girlfriends gathered to celebrate, the cake became part of a night filled with laughter, shared memories, and the kind of moments that make old friendships feel as close as ever. With the wedding in Bali just around the corner, it was a chance to celebrate J not only as a bride-to-be, but also as the friend they had known and loved for years.
At Colette Lola, we believe that every celebration deserves a cake that brings people together. J’s bridal shower was a lovely reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful celebrations are the ones spent with your favourite people, in a place that feels like home.
E's Bridal Shower: A Vintage Heart Before the Big Day
Meanwhile, in Jakarta, E’s sister and friends came together to plan an intimate bridal shower of their own. With her wedding, also in Bali approaching, they wanted to create a special moment for E before the festivities began.
E’s love for vintage style made her celebration especially personal. With an aesthetic that reflected her appreciation for vintage details and an eclectic wedding planned in Bali, the gathering offered a chance to celebrate her individuality while bringing her closest girlfriends together.
To mark the occasion, E’s sister and friends reached out to Colette Lola for a custom heart-shaped cake. Romantic in shape and personal in spirit, the cake was a fitting addition to a celebration centred on friendship, shared memories, and the excitement of the journey ahead.
The heart-shaped design served as a thoughtful centrepiece for the gathering, reflecting the love surrounding E as she prepared to begin a new chapter. More than simply a cake for the occasion, it was part of the surprise her loved ones had put together to make her feel celebrated.
As the group gathered, the celebration became an opportunity to look back on years of friendship and look forward to everything that lay ahead. With her wedding in Bali on the horizon, E’s bridal shower was a reminder that the journey to marriage is also a celebration of the people who have been there along the way.
Two Brides, Two Stories, One Shared Love for Cake
J and E each celebrated their bridal showers in their own way. For J, it was a reunion with longtime friends, a sleepover in her home base and a surprise built around her favorite colors and a memorable Earl Grey strawberry filling. For Ellaine, it was an intimate gathering shaped by her vintage sensibility and the thoughtfulness of her sister and friends.
Their stories were different, but both celebrations shared the same sentiment: some of life’s biggest milestones are made even more meaningful by the people who show up for us.
At Colette Lola, we love creating custom cakes that become part of these moments. From heart-shaped Dream Cakes to personalised designs inspired by a celebration’s colours, themes, and personality, each cake is an opportunity to bring an idea to life and make an occasion feel more personal.
Because a cake can be more than a centrepiece. It can be part of a surprise, a reason to gather around the table, and a detail that lives on in photographs and memories long after the celebration ends.
