Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 10, 2011

Posted on April 10, 2011 by Brooke

Share

We will confess right here and now: it is terribly difficult to keep your figure when you spend hours a day reading – and occasionally sampling – the MOST luscious cake confections available on Planet Earth. Thank goodness for a gym and a handy walking path (oh, and a hubby who cooks delicious, healthy food), or I may balloon to the size of a small dirigible.

But we’re happy for Spring and lots of Spring-y things! Here in the southeast, we’re getting the first strawberries, and they’re inspiring us to make all kinds of yummy treats.

But you didn’t come here to hear me wax poetic about gaining weight and Read More

Vegan Nirvana: Mocha Almond Fudge Avocado Groom’s Cake

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Brooke

Share

If you visit many trendy bakery sites and blogs (as I do), sooner or later, you are going to come across a whole list of “free” things – gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free – and you might be tempted to say, “Hmmm, go ahead and add taste-free to that list, too.”

Well, I will have to say, respectfully, that –free doesn’t have to be devoid of culinary character.

Are you a bride – or a groom – looking to feature a vegan choice Read More

Chocolate Zucchini & Raspberry Cupcakes

So..not exactly a wedding cake..but I saw this picture and I couldn’t handle the loveliness of it all. These cupcakes are zucchini and chocolate flavored (oh yes..who knew that something that sounds so wrong could be SO right?) I would not mind eating my vegetables if they could always be ingested with chocolate. The tiny cakes are topped with cream cheese icing Read More

Sage, Chocolate Brown, and Cream Color Cupcake Heaven

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Christen

I think I have expressed once, or twice…or perhaps even three times my love for cupcakes. Apparently, this cupcake combo comes with a back story. The cupcake stand was lost en route to the wedding venue so the baker improvised and turned wine glasses upside down and placed a plate on top of them. To tell you the truth..I kind of think it’s classy.

The best part..please listen to the flavors of these bad boys: Read More

A Royal Wedding Cake Profile: A look at Fiona Cairns

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Christen

Share

It was announced earlier this week that Fiona Cairns has been chosen by Prince William and Kate Middleton to bake their wedding cake. I’ve been eagerly counting down the days until my all night Royal Wedding Slumber Party (there will be one guest in attendance…that would be yours truly.) Since I am ~~obsessed~~ totally pumped about this wedding, I had to do a little digging on one Fiona Cairns.

I hit up the Fiona Cairns website and found Read More

Brown and Blue Wedding Cake

Posted on April 5, 2011 by Christen

I remember the first time I saw the brown and blue color combination thrown together on the same palette. It was 2005…a Wednesday. It was raining. I worked in a small retail store, and Vera Bradley had just put out her new patterns for fall. Right then and there I fell in love with the illustrious Java Blue. (Which by the way, went on to be one of Vera Bradley’s all time best sellers. Apparently I wasn’t the only sorority girl who fell in love with the combo.)

The pattern has long since been retired but the colors have been paired together on everything imaginable, 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
