Sushi Wedding Cake

Posted on January 21, 2013 by Brooke

Sushi Wedding Cake

Time for another fabulous themed cake. This one falls in the “juxtaposition of things that definitely don’t remind you of cake, but it’s so pretty you can’t help yourself” category.

I think this cake is absolutely beautiful. The Japanese characters are flawless, and the gumpaste flowers are incredibly lifelike. But the star of the show is the assortment of gumpaste sushi that adorns the top of the cake.

And So It Begins: Winter Holiday Wedding Cakes

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Brooke

present wedding cake-001

I figure if the big box stores are already advertising, and I’m already shopping, then it’s okay for me to start the winter holiday/Christmas-inspired cake posting…yes?  I thought you’d agree.

This one had me at Red Ribbon.  Is this not completely, totally, utterly fabulous?  What appears to be a pile of presents is, in fact, a cake.  Or a pile of cakes.  I’m not sure.

At any rate, I totally Read More

Red Stripe Wedding Cake with Bride and Groom Names

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Brooke

red stripe wedding cake

Remember when I wanted preppy yesterday? Well, I wanted it today, too, but I thought it would be fun to go in search of horizontal lines instead of vertical ones.

I adore the simplicity of the this cake.  And it’s really no shock that it’s simple, since it’s featured on Real Simple Magazine’s website!  Plain white fondant on tall tiers, trimmed with a border of thin red and white striped ribbon.  The cake’s only Read More

Black and Red Wedding Cake Pop Cake

Posted on September 19, 2012 by Brooke

black and red cake pop wedding cake close up

My name is Brooke, and I love cake pops.  (Hi Brooke.)

Omistars…I feel certain that cake pops were some kind of happy accident, or were the obvious invention of thrifty cake bakers who couldn’t imagine throwing out all those cake scraps (we used to make rumballs out of all those yummy leftovers.)  Dress them up, put them on a stick, and you have the perfect two bite dessert!

But savvy folks like Julie of Party Pops by Julie are taking the artistry of the humble cake ball to a whole new level.  Check out this incredible wedding cake – made from Read More

Apple Wedding Cake Redux

Posted on September 11, 2012 by Brooke

Martha Stewart Apple Cake

This is one of my all-time favorite cakes that I’ve featured.  Why am I providing you with a re-run today, you ask?  A couple of reasons:

1. A cake loved should be shared more than once.

2. We will never forget.

So today, although I will not dwell on what September 11 has come to mean to Americans as well as others around the world, I do offer you this apple cake Read More

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

Posted on September 4, 2012 by Brooke

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

From the pages of Martha Stewart, we find this new take on a much loved classic, Red Velvet Cake.

Everybody knows that the BEST red velvet cakes must be covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, right?  I mean, you do know that?  Well, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room for creativity on the outside of your cake…so this baker, Francina Stewart of One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn, took to the inside to set her cake apart.  The outside is covered with Read More

Red Show Stopping Wedding Cake with Roses

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Brooke

red wedding cake

I’m not feeling very subtle today. So I went in search of a cake that would set Brooke convention (you know, beachy, classic, pearls, blah blah blah) on its head.  And this is what I found.

Isn’t this stunning?  Bands of different red hues encircle an otherwise simple three-tiered round cake.  A band of white is added on the top and bottom layers for contrast, and the whole thing is trimmed out in Read More

Maraschino Cherry Wedding Cake

Posted on July 5, 2012 by Brooke

Maraschino Cherry Wedding Cake

It’s cherry season, y’all!  But whether it’s July or November, you can feature this cake trimmed in bright red fondant ribbon and maraschino cherries, since the candied cherries are seasonless!

Isn’t this darling?  Three double-height layers, and the middle hexagonal in shape, make for an adorable cake. Did you notice the cool cutout design on that middle layer?  And the pop of color from the bright red fondant trim and gumpaste cherries is so cheerful that you can’t help but grin.  As if the cake Read More

Gremlin Wedding Cake

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
