Happy Mother’s Day! And if you aren’t a mother, then feel free to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day!

I don’t know what today will hold – I’m heartily hoping for a little pampering, quiet, and possibly a nap – but I’m thankful for my babies, and I’m thankful that I still have my mom with me. I also have a life filled with so many dear sweet women and girlfriends who have been mentors and confidantes. So I’m glad to share this day with them as well.

The busy wedding season is Read More

We are lovers to the max of Pink Cake Box around here. My partner, Christen introduced me to their work. You’ll know when I’m scrolling through their blog, because you’ll hear saying things like “Agh!” And “Gahhh!” And “Gorgeous!” My family probably thinks I’m having some kind of torrid love affair with my laptop.

I spied this cake on the blog just a few days ago, and Anne Heap and her talented staff graciously let me share the incredible pretty with all of you! The cake is Read More

Sage and White Square Box Wedding Cake

I’m in a unique state of mind this week, y’all.

This box-themed cake is incredible, don’t you think? I love everything about it. The meticulous execution of the theme (really. Would you know it was cake if I didn’t tell you?) The colors. The flawless – and I do mean FLAWLESS designs of argyle, hounds tooth, and stripes. The off-center stacking that is different than the way we usually see a wonky feature like that applied. And how about the top “box”, with the lid propped up, flowers spilling out? I love that the cake perfectly blends masculine Read More

Brown and Sage Polka Dot and Bow Wedding Cake

First, let me apologize for the less-than-super sharp picture. But I thought this cake was post-worthy, so I went with it

Isn’t it darling? I mean, we aren’t seeing anything terrifically new or daring here, but what we are seeing is executing beautifully. First of all, I LOVE brown – and it doesn’t even have to be chocolate for me to be happy about it. Secondly, I’m not always a big fan of fondant bows…honestly, most of the time, I’d rather see satin ribbon. But this one is perfect and gorgeous! Scaled exactly perfectly to the cake.

I like the Read More

Gremlin Wedding Cake

I am seriously a know-nothing when it comes to pop culture, y’all. I’m the last to (reluctantly) start playing the coolest new game or obtain the hottest new gadget. So I’m totally sure that the little guys on this cake have enormous meaning…but I have no idea what it is. Do you?

Anyway, I think this cake is brilliant. Look closely, and you’ll see two little twirps among the flowers, wreaking havoc. Rather than sticking these characters on top, and posing them in some “unnatural” way, couple and baker have a terrific sense of humor, and allow them to stay in character…thus terrorizing the cake. The pristine buttercream is Read More

Green Leaves Wedding Cake

Disclaimer: I am not Irish. However, it’s that time of year when green is everywhere, and it should be here, too.

So, if you aren’t Irish either, then we’ll take this opportunity to spring forward, and dream of the green things that are about to burst forth

This cake, which was featured on TheKnot.com, is lovely, isn’t it? A simple, flawless white background, with sugarpaste leaves and Read More

Holy Macaroni! We are in to March, y’all!

How was your Leap Day? To you stand an egg on end or get your broom to stand up all by itself? (I didn’t know about these things until March 1 and did not partake in the fun therefore.) Plenty of jokes swirling Read More

Pink and Sage Green Graduated Layer Wedding Cake

My girl crush on Erica O’Brien was documented here (and here and here) long ago. So you will not be surprised to find out that, as I was getting my feet wet on Pinterest today (I know…where have I been??), one of the first cakes I pinned, without even knowing it, was one of Erica’s pretty cakes.

Oh, there is just something about the way she works! Everything is so clean and uncluttered, so original and crisp. When I went to research this cake, I of course found three more that I love LOVED. Look for those over the next few months.

This gem is palest pink with an earthy, silvery sage green ribbon Read More

Bright Green Wedding Cake with Dogwood Blossoms

Posted on February 2, 2012 by Brooke

Spring strikes again!

One of my very favorite signs of spring (when I used to live in a place that had such things) were the dogwoods blooming out every season. Ah. Breathtaking, and as intoxicating as that first warm day when you are so super tempted to go barefoot through the damp, soft grass. So this cake caught my eye in about a second.

The vibrant grass green color is the perfect choice Read More

Somehow Christmas Week is upon us. I seriously am not sure how though. It seems like I was just sweating my baguettes off every time I walked outside…but apparently six months have passed since then. Although, it was 79 degrees on Friday. What’s up with that, weather gods?
Anyway. It’s Christmas Week and I am off for the next two weeks and since Christmas has come out of nowhere I have to cram all my Christmas spirit into the next six days. So I officially title this week Christmas Cake Week 2011! And because Read More
