Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-up for July 10, 2011
Ah, post vacation blues. Don’t you feel sorry for me? Well, you should. Here I sit, tanned and rested, with lots of pretty pictures (and not a few shopping bags.) With a trip behind me, and not so much as a weekend getaway planned before me. Sulk. Sulk. Sulk.
BUT – I do have friends coming – my very best friend, in fact. I have visits to plan for, and new recipes to try – and, oh yes…I live 45 minutes from the beach.
Um, k. Sulking over.
I do need to be honest with you, though. I didn’t think a whole lot about weddings during my week in paradise, so this round up might be a little on the Read More
Emerald Ribbon and Diamond Brooch Wedding Cake.
I. Love. This. Cake.
I think it’s everything that a wedding cake for an evening wedding should be. It’s stylish. It’s elegant. It’s dressed up. It’s refined. The colors are used sparingly, but with dramatic effect. And they are hues Read More
The Heir to Blair talks Wedding Cake
I am SO excited today to bring you all our very first guest post. When I sat down to think about who should have that honor I could think of no other blogger than Blair from The Heir to Blair Blog. There she blogs about her cutie-pie son Harrison, her struggles and victories as a working mom all while balancing her family life.
However, before there was an Heir to Blair there was a man named Nate who she married five years ago today. You can tell just by reading her blog how ridiculously in love and in awe she still is with him. Today she is going to talk about Read More
Anemones Cake
Anemones: a species of plant in the buttercup family. Also known as a Japanese wildflower.
I had no idea what those were so I had to look that up. I figured I’d help out any others who weren’t born with a green thumb. I may not have known what they were but put them on a cake…….aaaaahhh-mazing!
I love this cake. Adore it even. It’s sweet, simple, Read More
Prince Albert and Charlene Whittstock Wedding Cake
So it might not be the fairytale of William and Kate but I have to admit I love a good royal wedding.
On Saturday, Prince Albert II married Charlene Whittstock in a religious ceremony in Monaco. The two had a civil ceremony on Friday, July 1. Charlene Whittstock is a former Olympian. She competed for South Africa in the 4 x 100 meter medley and her team placed fifth. I probably watched it because I am sort of an Olympic-a-holic. There were several high profile guest such as Naomi Campbell and Karl Lagerfeld. Other than his brief appearance on an episode of The Girls Next Door you probably recognize Prince Albert as Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 3, 2011
Sometimes the Groom Gets A Cake Too…
Brides generally fall into two categories when it comes to the groom’s cake.
Category One: Of course I am getting a groom’s cake, duh.
Or..
Category Two: What the heck is a groom’s cake and why do I need one?
Well, I am here to dispel a myth–you do not need a groom’s cake under any circumstance but there are a few reasons why you might want one. The main reason that brides seem to go with these days is to offer an alternative to the brides cake. However, with the cakes having the ability to be Read More
Beachin’ It
It’s the truth. I wish I was like every other person in South Carolina and celebrating this gorgeous long weekend at the beach. However, we bought a new house this year so the beach vacation got sliced from the budget.
This makes me happy most of the time but now that it’s hot and people are out shooting Read More
Patriotic Wedding Cake
Happy July 4th to my fellow Americans! If you are not American..well..then Happy Monday!
Let’s start this 4th of July off right with a little bit of patriotism..in the form of edible baked goods.
It may surprise you to know that I did not go digging for this cake. I was looking for something theme-y but did not think that I would be able to find a wedding cake that was classy and patriotic. My friends it can be done..as seen here. This couple took a traditional round cake and gave it a little American flare by draping a fondant American flag around the cake. What is that to the left you ask? Well I do believe it is some sort of Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 3, 2011
Greetings from Captiva, Florida! I am here, just off the southwest coast of Florida, taking a much-needed (and deserved 
) break with my little family. And what a beautiful place this is! We love Captiva and neighboring Sanibel. If you’re looking for a great getaway spot, and you favor family-friendly, gracious, and low key, I can’t say enough good things about Sanibel and Captiva! But I digress!
As usual, beautiful things are afoot in the world of wedding. Pretty trends and Read More
Stunning Indian Inspired Cake
There are cakes. And then there are cakes.
The first time I saw this cake, I immediately became a convert to all things bright and colorful.
Jasmine Clouser of The Couture Cakery is truly an artist. Her cakes are detailed beyond belief and perfectly capture the mood of the moment. In this case, the bride and groom were married in a traditional Indian wedding ceremony at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The room where the ceremony was held was transformed into the reception spot as well.
After the ceremony, the bride, Meera, changed Read More
