Real Life Objects Cakes
The sky is the limit when it comes to cake sculpture. If you can describe it, or produce a photograph of it, then chances are your talented baker can turn it into cake. More and more, we are seeing real life objects cakes, or sculpted cakes as they are sometimes called, served in tandem with a traditional wedding cake. Normally, the sculpted cake is the groom’s cake, and can be fashioned into any number of objects: a beer bottle, a football helmet, a movie theatre. Gun case with a semi-automatic nestled in the foam-made-of-cake? No problem. Crab cake that looks like a crab? Easy peasy. Caffeine addict you’re baking for? Well then, why not a giant coffee cup? Sand castle? Child’s play. If you can dream it, it’s likely that your baker can do it. So free your mind. And your cake will follow.
Beautiful Chocolate Brown and Delicate Blue Wedding Cake
Recently, we showed you one of our favorite cakes, featuring a seriously hot color combination: brown and blue. Today, the color combo is back in a different, though no less stunning, iteration.
This cake features a rich robe of chocolate brown fondant, with each of the circular layers trimmed with a wide white ribbon. Adorning the entire cake Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 3, 2011
Zip, zoom, bang! I don’t know about y’all, but my early spring is off to a roaring start. So many exciting things going on that it’s hard to keep up. A wedding here, a birthday party there, visits from friends to plan, a trip to a wonderful, well-known shelling beach to ponder – and a girls-only cruise that I can hardly wait to savor!
Wait? Where was I? Oh yes.
And if that weren’t enough, there’s a royal couple planning a royal wedding, and we are royally interested! Too much? Well, you’ll forgive me, since we are within a month of Kate and Will’s Big Day. Perhaps we will return to non-Kate-and-Will posts following April 29. But for now we Read More

Baseball Grooms Cake
My husband really loves baseball. In a throw down featuring Christen vs. The Atlanta Braves, I am not sure who would win. With the Braves’ first Spring Game with their new coach Alan Butts at the reigns coming up, my husband has been counting the minutes this week.
So in honor of baseball fans everywhere..I bring you..the Baseball Grooms Cake! I actually don’t know if the bride and groom who own this cake are Braves fans, but I like to think so since the colors are blue and red. I like how this is a simple, two tiered square cake topped with a baseball. The ball is Read More

Bridesmaid Cookies
True story..I struggled with a way to figure out how to ask my Bridesmaids to be in my wedding. I wanted a cute way to do it..but I just couldn’t think of one. Some ideas I did have?
- A spa day..the problem..I was saving for a honeymoon..who had money for a SPA day?
- A CD with songs that reminded me of them..the problem..I was not tech savvy.
So I ended up making a card with a cute little bride on the front and inside it said “Will you be my bridesmaid?” Cute..yes..but nowhere near as exciting as I had wished. When I saw these cookies by Amy Bakes I literally wished that I could hop in my time machine and go back and give these Read More

Butterfly Wedding Cake
This cake is so simple, yet so beautiful. Smooth frosting accented with bright butterflies flying up to a birds’ nest. The natural feel of the cake extends to the “cake stand,” a wood round that was harvested by the groom and his father!
The cake was inspired by Martha Stewart’s butterfly wedding cake, and is Read More

Dreary, dreary, dreary.
