Cookie-Trimmed Chocolate Wedding Cake

Posted on October 16, 2012 by Brooke

chocolate cookie wedding cake

If you’d like to have your cake and eat your cookies too, then I think this is the perfect wedding cake for you.

Who needs mountains of sugar flowers and miles of ribbon and piped royal icing?  I can’t think of a garnish more perfect for dessert than another dessert.

Here, chocolate buttercream, dipped and swirled in old fashioned, homemade abandon, covers a simple three tall-tiered wedding cake.  But not only is the chocolate buttercream yummy; it serves as delicious glue for chocolate cookies, which are white-iced and rainbow-sprinkled.  The whole effect makes me want to grab a huge tumbler of milk and dig right in.  What a completely fun cake!

Once again, we have The Cake Girls in Chicago to thank for this little spot of genius.

Peacock Inspired Wedding Cake

Peacock inspired wedding cake

Jenniffer at Cup a Dee Cakes has done it again.  Bloomed out all genius on us.

I know that peacock motifs are hot hot hot right now.  Jenniffer wonders if it has anything to do with Katy Perry.  I wonder if it has to do with the resurgence of Edwardian love we’ve got goin’ on right now. (Vintage once again means something other than 1982.  And I for one am thankful.)

Cake Topper Friday: White Chocolate Bride and Groom Cake Topper

Posted on October 12, 2012 by Brooke

white traditional cake topper

Love. This.

Maybe I’m speaking as a married woman of 11 years who doesn’t need another single knick knack.  But girls, pay heed:  that cutesy cake topper will be gathering dust in a matter of years in the back of your china cabinet (or worse…in a box in the attic.)

My advice?  Go edible.

I think this is darling because it’s both classic and practical.  Rather than have some chichi porcelain figures, why not 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

Square Vertical Striped Blue Wedding Cake

Posted on October 10, 2012 by Brooke

blue striped cake

I went in search of preppy today. And preppy I found.

You may not believe this, but I’m not so much a froufrou girl.  My favorite colors?  Khaki and navy blue.  In fact, I’ll give you a $100 if you can spy me one day out of my life without khaki on my person somewhere.

I really love tailored and unfussy stuff.  And today, I wanted to declutter a bit, cakewise.

I love this approach to cakery, don’t you?  Sure, we’ve seen Read More

Cream Colored Rustic Buttercream Wedding Cake

Posted on October 9, 2012 by Brooke

white rustic wedding cake

I was in the mood for simple today. Maybe it’s because life seems so fast and so complicated. So I went in search of simplicity, and this is what I found. If life can’t be simple today, my choice of cake sure can be!

Remember all those times that you helped to frost those cakes, and Mom or Grandma took extra care to make the frosting all loopy and swoopy before calling it a done deal for the Read More

For the Guys: Meatloaf Groom’s Cake

Posted on October 6, 2012 by Brooke

Meatloaf Groom's Cake

This, Gentle Readers, is not a cake that looks like a meat loaf.  This is, in fact, a cake made of meat loaf.

As the story goes, groom Todd was asked what flavor cake he wanted for “his” cake.  His sarcastic answer?  ”MEAT!”

Well, someone took Todd very seriously, and this delightful (and reportedly delicious) meatloaf cake was born.

So, I wasn’t at said wedding.  But I can make a fair guess here about the components. Read More
