Posted on March 25, 2012 by Brooke

Starfish Cake

Here we are!  At the BEACH, spring breakin’ it up!

I hope you aren’t stuck somewhere cold and snowy, but if you are, snuggle up with some hot chocolate and dream of warmer days that are JUST around the corner!  Better yet, let me send some spring vibes your way in the form of the sweetest and prettiest I can find around the interwebs.  So let’s get started with a review of the cakes we brought you this week!

On Monday, I showed you what is certainly destined to be Read More

Hostess Cupcake Groom’s Cake

Posted on March 24, 2012 by Brooke

Chocolate Hostess Cupcake Groom's CAke

What is with me and chocolate lately? Wait. Could there BE a dumber question?  Eh.  It is what it is.  And…what it is…is another chocolate cake from Brooke. ;-)

But look at it, will ya?  Like I could resist!  It’s a giant Hostess cupcake, perched upon the top of what we suspect is the groom’s cake for a lovely summer celebration.  And it’s perfectly executed and instantly recognizable.

Okay, so…confession.  I was never really allowed to have these as a kid, and I wouldn’t let my children touch Hostess products with a ten-foot pole, so they would have Read More

Stephanotis Nosegay Cake Topper

Posted on March 23, 2012 by Brooke

Nosegay Cake Topper

My senior year in high school, the sweetest boy took me to prom.  I wasn’t big on corsages, especially those wrist-y kind that were so popular at the time.  So I asked for a nosegay, a little bouquet that I could carry.  He obliged with the most adorable little cluster of pink tea roses, surrounded by baby’s breath and variegated leaves and pink ribbon.  Sigh.  And wow.  I can super still remember that :-)

So nosegays have always had a little place in my heart.  My girls carried nosegays instead of full bouquets for my wedding, in fact (Nikko blue hydrangeas in that instance.)  There’s just something so classic about their 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

Art Deco Square Wedding Cake

Posted on March 21, 2012 by Brooke

Art Deco Wedding Cake

I started to make this cake a feature for Wedding Cake Topper Friday, on account that I heart Paris in the most longing way, and so of course I sighed and swooned when I saw this fabulous cake.  But honestly, the cake is so much more than that topper.  And so here it is, the star of its own post.

I’m a big fan of art deco anyway.  Have you seen Midnight in Paris?  Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar contender straddled the line between present day and 1920s Paris.  I loved it immediately, and this cake, with its art deco motif and La Tour Eiffel topper, takes me right to it.  And there’s something so Read More

Belgian Chocolates Wedding Cakes

Belgian Chocolates Wedding Cake

If you weren’t craving chocolate before… you’re welcome.

What’s better than a chocolate cake, enrobed in chocolate cigarettes and encircled with Belgian chocolates?  How about a chocolate starburst wedding cake topper?  Shut the front door!

This chocolate chocolate and more chocolate wedding cake would meet the craving needs of any chocoholic bride out there.  Apparently, once the cake had been served, the chocolates were passed around with coffee.

I love the idea of decorating dessert…with more dessert.  Beautifully executed, we think this would make a swell Read More

‘How Do I Love Thee?’ Pink Wedding Cake

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Brooke

Sonnet 43 Elizabeth Barrett Browning Cake

This is the part of the blog where I confess that I am a total English Lit geek.  Like, so much, that I studied it for four years, and contemplated grad school and teaching.  However, other opportunities presented themselves (like making, and then writing about, wedding cakes) that were far more family friendly…and here I am.

Where was I?

Oh yes.  My deep and abiding love for the British written word.  Well, any written word, actually.  As long as Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for March 18, 2012

Aqua ribbon wedding cake

Oh, but we have hit Spring Fever with a vengeance in my household.

We want to go to the beach!  And the pool!  Because in Florida, Spring Fever looks a lot like, you know, summer. But there have been stock car races and Bike Weeks and crazy parties for Irish folk to get through…before the Spring Breakers descend.  And we are eager to join them.  Like, next week.

So, we are introducing a slightly different format for our Let Them Eat Cake blog round-up, starting this week.  We’ll be sharing with you what we’ve been up to all week (in case you missed it…it’s one stop Read More

All White Roses Wedding Cake

Posted on March 17, 2012 by Brooke

white roses wedding cake

I know.  Not the most cutting edge cake I’ve ever featured.  But really.  Look at it.  It’s beautiful.

There is something so wonderful about simplicity.  A single color.  A motif repeated over and over.  Color carried through various design elements.

I guarantee you that many people overlooked just how pretty this cake was.  ”Seen one white cake, seen ‘em all.”  But the artist really paid attention here.  See how the size of the sugarpaste roses gets slightly larger with each layer?  And notice that Read More

Cake Topper Friday: Tiara Wedding Cake Topper

Posted on March 16, 2012 by Brooke

tiara cake topper

Now, seriously…why didn’t we think of this?  Brill!

So…we all need to be honest here, right this minute.  And that is to say that if we had our way, we’d ALL get the chance to wear little tiaras and crownlettes (is that a word?  I don’t think so) like this.  I personally would wear mine while grocery shopping and vacuuming.  Heck, I already wear my pearls for those activities, so why not?

This is a great cake anyway, all white on white, round on square, with a perfect swag of fondant doing a great fabric impression.  The piping is exquisite, the decorations are just enough Read More
