White Wedding Cake with Succulents and Teal Trim

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Traci

There is an easy beauty to this cake – it makes me think of an outdoor late spring or early summer wedding, maybe at a botanical garden, surrounded by bright colorful flowers. This cake would look amazing in a setting like that.

I am loving the simple frosting and the Read More

Wedding Cake DIY: Gerbera Daisies on Separated Tiers

This cake reminded me so much of my friend Christen that I just had to share it with you.

Christen used to contribute regularly to A Wedding Cake Blog, and I know that she still loves to keep up with all the Sweet and Pretty that we feature here. And this cake actually reminds me of her for two reasons: Read More

Succulent and Bramble Wedding Cake

I’m feeling all minimalist-y this morning, y’all.

I didn’t think I was. I thought I was feeling all spring-in-bloom-y. But then I spied this beautiful cake, and I realized I was wrong.

Just like the beauty of the Read More

Gerbera Daisy Wedding Cake

I’m all about rushing the seasons. But you knew this.

Since today is March 1, clearly it’s time for a post all about spring-into-summer, yes?

And what says spring-into-summer better than fresh strawberries and big, boldly colored gerbera daisies? Right. Nothing.

What a sweet little Read More

Classic White Wedding Cake with Traditional Bride and Groom Cake Topper

Posted on February 18, 2013 by Brooke

Share

I’m feeling a little — okay, a whole lot — classic today. And so my cake choice reflects that.

I love the elegant simplicity of the white buttercream wedding cake that’s trimmed with roses and topped with an uber traditional bride and groom. It would seem that the wedding was an affair with lots of “glitzy ambiance” so this cake struck the balance between the indulgence and the simple. And when you go with the classics, you don’t really need birds flying around the top or fireworks shooting off the sides, do you?

At the end of the day, after Read More

Basket of Roses Wedding Cake

I can’t help it. Blame it on living in the mild-weather southeast, but once Christmas is over, I’m on to summer and beach outings. This beautiful wedding cake, with its basket weave motif and full blown roses, shouts “Summer!” to me.

But it could also be shouting Read More

White Hydrangea Wedding Cake with Double Height Tier

Hello, Dears!

Today, I’m starting to turn away from the sparse winterishness of January, and toward the ardent blush of Valentine’s Day, which is just around the corner.

Do you celebrate? We don’t do much with it around these parts, but I love the sentiment of being sweet to everyone on V Day. It can be about romance, or you can expand the scope and make it a day to show love to all or those close to you. Remember those fun Read More

Gold Sequined Wedding Cake

Does anything glitter quite like gold?

This cake is, in a nutshell, drop-dead gorgeous. It’s so luxurious, and just completely fantastic. For possibly the first time, I am saying this silly sentence: it’s too pretty to cut.

It’s not often that I’m Read More

Recipe and DIY: Southern Living 2012 White Christmas Cake

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Brooke

It will come as no surprise to regular readers of A Wedding Cake Blog that I am an avid Southern Living magazine fan.

The world stops once a month when an issue comes. I peruse every feature, and file away recipes for that week’s menu or upcoming party, and I dream — and sometimes use — the travel advice on the pages.

So I look forward every year to the December issue, and what has come to be known as “the big white cake” on the cover.

This year’s big white cake is beautiful in its simplicity, and I applaud the powers that be who chose it, because it’s the perfect all purpose white cake. Perfect for birthdays, perfect for weddings.

We’ve gotten so fancy, haven’t we? And there’s nothing wrong with fancy. But every good cook should have a very basic, completely perfect cake in their repertoire, and this is a good candidate for that job.

The cake — Mrs. Billett’s White Cake — is done up in lovely, minimalist fashion with white buttercream and fondant snowflakes. I was excited to share this with you because it would make a sensational winter wedding cake, and the fondant snowflakes are easy AND spectacular (which just happens to be the perfect combo IMO.)

Find the recipe here. Find the fondant snowflake DIY here (this one’s a video.)

Ah, Southern Living. I love how fabulous you continue to be.

Oh, my lovelies goodness. The whole family was nice and sick this week.

So what should have been an extra week to plan for the Christmas season turned into a lot of staying in jammies til far past a respectable hour. Everyone is on the upswing, though…except me, of course. But I’ll get there. Someday.

There’s not much to tell you about on the blog this week as a result, I’m afraid. Let’s hope for better health soon! Until then, let’s recap some Read More
