The beauty of rusticity is that the word ‘rustic’ can describe an entire spectrum of nature inspired style with one end of the spectrum being rough and rugged and the other end more refined and subtle. Autumn, on some level, seems to bring out the rustic chic in all of us. Here I’ve collected a dozen rustic cakes to inspire your autumn celebration, and they fall on many different places of that spectrum. You might opt for a more simple design, say with a single fall colored bloom, or a design decked out in mini pumpkins and orange, yellow, and red leaves. Regardless, you’ll be embracing the gorgeous fall season and adding a festive and beautiful addition to your décor and dessert table.
