Tree Wedding Cake
A few years ago the hubs and I decided to tighten the purse strings. The first thing to go? Our way too expensive satellite. And we never looked back.
That is until I realized that we could get those bunny ear antennas and I could still watch One Tree Hill. Last night I pulled out those bunny ears and got to watching the very last season premiere of One Tree Hill. In honor of that Read More
Making Your Own Mini-Cakes
I’ve been talking excessively about mini-cakes lately. For that I apologize..but I just LOVE them. More than Cake Pops but a little less than Cupcakes, Mini-Cakes are my new lust for 2012. I literally cannot wait for the first wedding that I go to and set my little eyes on a table full of Read More

Classic Ribbon Cake
Let’s just get classic. It’s been awhile since I’ve done an honest to goodness classic gorgeous cake. This is a four tiered round cake covered in white fondant with a white etched diamond pattern. What does it for me is the gorgeous brown ribbon tied around the base of the second tier. Let’s not forget the diamond initial broach in the center. Oh yes…diamonds are a girl’s best friend. I love that this cake is classic but has a little bit of bling. This cake was made by Palermo’s Custom Cakes and Bakery in New Jersey. You should check out their website Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for January 8, 2012
Happy New Year, Everyone!
Yes, I know that technically, I’m a full week behind. And I know that technically, today is the Epiphany, and the end of Christmas, and not the New Year. But is anyone else having a hard time cranking up the old machine again, getting on the horse? I blame Read More

Stylized Minimalist ‘Something Blue’ Wedding Cake
Happy Bridal Show Season!
Most of y’all who are reading us know this, but for those who don’t…this isn’t exactly the hottest time of the year for the wedding industry. So, in a creative attempt to keep themselves busy, many vendors get together during the winter months and have bridal shows, so that prospective brides and grooms can meet vendors, learn about trends, and maybe even win a cool prize or two.
Last November (where does the time GOOOO?), I attended the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotel’s Bridal Stroll. What a neat event! We saw Read More
Cake Topper Friday: High Five Bride and Groom Topper
This is the perfect cake topper to be the first feature of 2012. Seriously, with the addition of this cake topper this may be my favorite week on A Wedding Cake Blog ever!
I love that this topper is tons of fun. It actually reminds me a lot Read More
Chocolate Lollipop Cake
Oh. my. goodness.
To be fair I had another post planned for today from Maki’s Cakes. While I was scrolling through the Cake Gallery I saw this one…stopped dead in my tracks…fainted, eventually recovered and decided to feature this one instead.
This is a four tiered cake that embraces the square/round combination. I’m not usually a fan of the some-tiers-square-other-tiers-round kind of thing, but I actually love how the square flanks Read More
Sugar Cookie Mini Cakes
It’s not often that we feature wedding favors but this one was too cute to pass up. It’s a new take on wedding cookies combining several different sized sugar cookies and topping them with royal icing to resemble those oh so popular mini-cakes. As if you couldn’t tell this project is ALL Martha. Of course. The cookies Read More
Gray and Pink Cake Trio
Remember just yesterday when I told you that Multiple Cakes was a trend to look for in 2012. Oh, I had this little beauty (beauties) up my sleeve when I wrote that post!
This Cake Trio takes the stacking away from the cake and separates them into three different cakes. I can’t say if there is any particular reason to do this other than pure aesthetics. The largest cake is a three tiered cake–however a bit smaller in size than “typical” wedding cakes. The cake is Read More
Wedding Cake Trends for 2012
Take my opinion for what it’s worth. I am not a cake artist or a fashion forecaster (a real job…did you know that?) However, I have been knee deep in cake batter for the last year AND I consider myself a fairly trendy girl. Although it seems that trendy people never actually call themselves trendy…because that is so untrendy. So maybe I’m not. Whatever, I have thoughts anyway.
While I can’t see things like the ruffle and chevron patterns on cakes going away just yet, there are a few new looks we should keep our eyes on in 2012. I assume a lot of them will end up on this blog!
The Mini-Cake. It’s not a cupcake or a cake pop, it’s a full fledged cake shrunk down to size. Very Alice in Wonderland if I do say so myself.
(Note, I never consider Pinterest a source..however this image was actually uploaded by the user).
Many Cakes. You read that right. Not mini-cakes. Many cakes. On blogs and websites I am seeing more and more gorgeous pictures of a plethora of cakes. I’ve seen three to as many as ten all in various colors or sizes but they all have a common theme among them that makes them match. It’s a trend I hope we see more of.
Minimalist Wedding Cakes. I am noticing an “M” theme here. Wedding cakes are usually over the top and gorgeous. Occasionally we’ll find one with simple fondant and design but they can be pretty scarce (or eerily similiar to another cake we’ve featured). Let’s face it: there are only so many ways you can say, “This cake is white. It is also round”. Now cake artists are coming up with alternate ways to stay minimal but always pack a little punch of creativity. Like this cake that is stacked slightly off center with dark pearls (that may actually be blueberries) and an oyster shell.
I know it will be another amazing year when it comes to Wedding Cakes. Which trends are your favorite? Which trends are you ready to see go? Personally I love ’em all and can’t wait to see what other goodies are in store for us in 2012!
