Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for November 11, 2012

Posted on November 11, 2012 by Brooke

Yellow and White Cupcakes

Greetings, Fellow Cake Lovers!

We’re through a tumultuous Election Day and today, we celebrate our veterans.  A whole lotta flag waving going on this week, yes?

And I’ve been all over the map with my cake love this week.  In fact, there was one day that I said.  Yep, nope, I’m good.  No cake today.  Even I feel like going on a sweets strike occasionally.  But I usually snap out of it pretty quickly.

It’s a Read More

Pink and Yellow Chevron Polka Dot Wedding Cake

Posted on March 22, 2012 by Brooke

Pink and Yellow Chevron Wedding Cake

I remember that we flirted a little with chevrons last year, and I’m happy to see them representin’ again in 2012.

Isn’t this a darlin’ little cake?  I love the sassy little polka dots that bring just the right pop of color, and the ruffly peonies say summer pretty in such a lovely way.  Really, are there any prettier flowers for a wedding than flouncy peonies?

The demure size just lends to the charm.  We could see this design translated to any number of hot color combinations (teal and chocolate?  grey and yellow?  blue and green?), and the design would be darling on a cutting cake and matching baby cakes or cupcakes or cake pops – oh my!  And Read More

Cupcake Bars

Posted on October 10, 2011 by Christen

Oh yes.

Most of my friends know by now that I have a vested interest in all things wedding cake. It’s not unusual to get a phone call or two from one of my bride-to-be friends asking questions about wedding cakes. The other day I had such a phone call. One of my good friends has a little sister that is getting married. My friend called me up last week and said, “Christen..what do you know about cupcake bars?”

Crickets…crickets.

I knew nothing about cupcake bars. Visions of happiness Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round Up for September 11, 2011

Austin Yellow and Grey Cupcakes

Okay.

So, I know that we’re all about the Sweet, the Pretty, the Happy Endings around here.  And Happy and Hope are what make the world go ’round, and keep spinning.  But I can’t, I just can’t, have that date in my title, without at least acknowledging that on this date, ten years ago, many people lost their lives in a tragic, senseless, pre-meditated way.  And even though I am doing my best today to bring a little lightness to the world, I can’t ignore Read More

Yellow Blossom Wedding Cake

Yellow Wedding Cake

So, we’ve seen many cherry blossom wedding cakes of late.  But until now, I hadn’t seen yellow blossoms…and I am in love.

This cake, covered in fondant (ohso appropriate for the casual elegant outdoor reception), is trimmed with a meandering branch that spans all three layers.  Daintily perched on the branch are pale yellow blossoms Read More

Pink Bow Tie

pink bow toe

Cupcakes are probably the Lord’s perfect food.  I’ve accepted that fact.  For weddings, most cupcakes are dolled up with mile high buttercream frosting and look adorable to boot.  Sometimes though…you just need a pretty cupcake layered in chocolate ganache.

Yum.

These adorable cupcakes are frosted with a thin layer of ganache and topped with a gorgeous light pink bow. I also think the random pink cupcake with the chocolate bow tie on the bottom tier is adorable Read More

Doing it Yourself: Making Your Own Wedding Cupcakes

Posted on August 22, 2011 by Christen

acmoore

I’ve had this topic in my mind for months.  In fact when I began my research I wanted it to be my first feature that I did on A Wedding Cake Blog.  I am SUCH a Doing It Yourself kind of girl.  I love creating my own art for my home, making my own curtains or pillows instead of buying them.  Once I even tackled making a duvet cover (not as simple as it might seem).  I thought I would be ALL Read More

Before You Choose Your Baker Part I

Posted on August 1, 2011 by Christen

Birdie

Get excited because this is a two part-er!

We have showcased hundreds of gorgeous wedding cakes on here.  The supply of amazing and gorgeous photos of cakes is limitless…but we all know those cakes didn’t just appear out of thin air.  They came from somewhere.  They were made by someone who was inspired by an idea.

It’s almost as exciting as the story about where babies come from.  Almost.

If you truly think about it this is your one opportunity as a bride to truly create something that symbolizes your wedding.  You wedding venue has done thousands of weddings before.  Your dress? There are probably at least a hundred other girls wearing it on your wedding day. Well, unless you are The Duchess of Cambridge of course.  Even though your baker has baked thousands of wedding cakes before.  Each every one is unique and special in their own way.  To me that makes them the most important part of your reception.

However, before you run into your baker for that wonderful tasting there are a few things you should do before choosing your baker.  This post will be in the form of a list.  Why?  Because I love lists.

1.  Research!  You’re off to a good start if you’re reading this.  Research is so important–because honestly you can’t walk into a baker without any idea of what you want or else you’ll end up with something that isn’t truly yours.  While you won’t actually be the one baking, sculpting, and icing, you Read More

Orange with Accents Cake

Hiya!

So…how are you keeping cool during this scorcher of a summer?  We’re fanning and heading to the beach and drinking plenty of iced tea.  And while summer is scorching the rest of you, it’s just plain ole’ normal hot here in Florida.

But the heat hasn’t stopped the deliciousness that is a summer full of weddings.  We’ve seen some Read More

Bride and Groom Wedding Cupcakes

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Christen

fondant cupcakes

There is something about fondant that just makes everything so beautiful. Don’t you agree? For years bakers have been turning out gorgeous wedding cake after wedding cake. They have been able to do such a thing because of one concrete-like material: fondant. It might not be the tastiest thing in the world…but it sure is pretty.
Now bakers are starting to take it to the next level and produce fondant covered cupcakes. Like these red velvet ones that the Read More
