Wedding Favors: Sending Your Guests Home with Cookies
From children’s birthday parties to weddings, we seem to be sending guests and friends home these days with a little something extra to help them remember the magic of the celebration. And why not? Your guests have spent their money and time to help you celebrate your special occasion. A little gift is the perfect way to say “thank you.” And I am of the mind that a useful gift, or a gift that can be enjoyed and consumed in some way, rather than just something that sits around Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Disney Pumpkin Patch Cuteness
Happy Fall Everyone!
Yes…I know it’s technically not fall. And I know it’s literally still in the 80s and 90s oh…everywhere, prettymuch. But, you see, I can’t help myself.
There are two things I love (well, there are many things I love…but the “two things” work here, so we’ll call it poetic license.) I love fall. And I love Disney.
So you can imagine how hard I flipped when I saw this ab fab cake topper on Etsy!
Sweet Pixie Pie will customize your very own Mickey and Minnie Pumpkins for the top of your adorable fall wedding cake! Yes, dreams really do come true! The toppers are custom-made (obviously) from polymer clay. Clearly, this adorable topper is destined to become a keepsake long after the “I dos” are done.
Check out Sweet Pixie Pie’s Etsy shop for more deets! And Happy Early Fall, y’all!
Massive Floral Italian Wedding Cake
To begin…a couple of points about this cake.
So…I don’t normally feature pictures that are obviously snapshots. And I don’t normally feature pictures that have people in them. But I searched and searched for a not snapshot-y, non-peopled picture of this cake, and couldn’t find one. And this cake? Must Be Featured.
Just look at it! I have never, in all my days on this earth (and I won’t tell you how many of those there are) seen a cake of this scale. In it’s own way, it’s bigger than Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s cake, and that one was pretty large. But the depth of the layer on this cake are truly astounding. Really, I Read More
Geometric Shapes with Roses Cake
Happy Fall, Y’all!
Well…fall-ish. Reports are tricklin’ into me from all over the country, from friends who are waking up to cooler breezes, nicer temperatures…my friend Matt in Texas even told me it cooled down to 90 in Austin yesterday.
But here in Florida, I’m manufacturing my fall Read More
Polka Dots and Roses Cake
This cake could be any of a dozen…except for those adorable polka dots.
It caught my eye initially because of its perfection – this cake artist knows his (or her) stuff when it comes to smoothing buttercream and adding swirly cues. Four stacked layers, decorated simply with buttercream, white on white, and a trim of wide, satin navy ribbon. To top it, the flower nosegay that crowns the cake is just lovely. But what really Read More
Pink Vanilla Cotton Candy Cake
Really…do we ever outgrow our love of pink cotton candy? I think not.
I have never seen a cake that made me want to trip right out in my mary janes, in my pink gingham dress, and play paper dolls. This cake is fantastic! And we have Heather at Sprinkle Bakes to thank for the brilliance of it.
Really…this cake would be absolutely perfect for a small wedding…or a bridesmaids’ luncheon…or a Tuesday afternoon.
I think we need party dresses and Champagne to go with it, yes?
Check out Heather’s Read More

Fuchsia and White Wedding Cake
I love when a plan comes together. And today’s cake is an example of just that.
This lovely cake is the beautiful work of Kristin from Fat Girl Cakes in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Kristin tells me that the bride for this wedding wasn’t quite sure what she would like in terms of a cake. When they met, Kristin flipped through a book of cakes for inspiration, and the bride mentioned that she loved one of the display cakes as well. She seemed to gravitate toward cakes that featured bright colors…and that’s all Kristin needed to get the creative ball rolling here.
So…where does the “plan come together” Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sugar Paste Flower Monogram
We’re seeing lots and lots of monograms of late in connection with weddings…and I, for one, am not complaining. I love, love monograms (which, if you knew me, would not surprise you in the least.)
Lately, though, most of the monograms have been in the form of a placard on the side of the cake – a classic detail that I fall in love with all over again everytime I see it. Another option – the swooshy rhinestone jobby on the top of the cake. Sparkles and pretty. Perfection.
But – ever in search of something new and just a little different Read More
White Wedding Cake with Green Mums
Ah, the elusive…green flower.
The what? Yes. The green flower. Rare, and a little strange, but always beautiful.
You can find green-hued flowers in varieties such as geraniums and orchids. But wait, this isn’t a botany blog, is it?
I love this cake. My love of white on white cakes was discussed last month here and here. And today, I find another example of a white on white cake, with just a little punch of unexpected color, via green flowers. The simple mums encircle the base of the top tier Read More
