Cake Topper Friday: Photograph Clip Cake Toppers
While perusing Pinterest the other day, we found this gem.
Now, try to forget the spectacular candy-covered cake for a minute (it’s hard, we know.) It reminds us of other candy-themed cakes we’ve featured here on A Wedding Cake Blog, like this rock candy cake, this cotton candy cake (swoon), this incredible M&M’s wedding cake, and this sixlet candy cake.
But we think the real star of this show is the super simple and oh-so-adorable photograph clip cake toppers. Seriously! A trip to Target, a couple of Polaroid snaps, and mark this one Read More
Sari-Inspired Wedding Cake
This beautiful sari-inspired wedding cake is the incredible work of Cory Pohlman, head decorator at Rosebud Cakes in Beverly Hills, California. Elin from Rosebud tells me that the entire family came into the bakery to sample the cake, and wanted something less sweet than a typical American bakery wedding cake. They wanted unusual flavors that would stand out in the memories of their guests. The bride also wanted to pull in design elements from her wedding ensemble and her colors, and provided Cory with pictures of these things, as well as photos of other things she liked. The result was Read More
Hand Painted Tattoo Wedding Cake
I ran across another cake by Becky at Consumed by Cake, which led me to a little digging (I simply had to know more about her lovely work), which led me to brashly introduce myself to her when I found this incredible hand painted tattoo wedding cake.
The introduction went something like this:
“Hi, my name is Brooke, and I am in love with your cake.”
Becky graciously responded to my fawning and gushing, and sent me some darling details about this one. This was, it seems, her first “international” wedding cake! The couple, from Belgium, saw Read More
Rainbow Cake Ball Wedding Cake
We love Cake Wrecks. If you want to laugh hysterically (and sometimes, it’s at people, and not with them), then be sure to check out this awesome website.
However, we’ve never linked to them, because, well, usually they’re highlighting all that is hysterically wrong with cake. But then every so often, they show us beautiful cakes, and all is right with the world again.
I just fell in love with this rainbow cake ball wedding cake. Cake balls (yes, we realize it’s kind of a funny term) – not to be confused with cake pops. First, these are different sizes, and all are much bigger Read More
Wavy Ruffles Wedding Cake
I featured another cake by Bella Manse a few weeks ago because I thought we all needed a reminder of pretty spring colors. However, this is the one that first endeared me to cake artist and owner Renee Schlotzhauer.
I love what she has done with these wispy, wavy ruffles. I’ve never seen another cake exactly like it. The sugared strawberries add a deft touch of color to the pallette that is just delicious. The tall, slender profile is lovely, too. This would be a cake that truly, I would hate to cut…I wouldn’t be happy to wreck the surpassing gorgeousness.
Like an ethereal wedding gown, or a delicate calla lily, this beautiful Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for March 4, 2012
Holy Macaroni! We are in to March, y’all!
How was your Leap Day? To you stand an egg on end or get your broom to stand up all by itself? (I didn’t know about these things until March 1 and did not partake in the fun therefore.) Plenty of jokes swirling Read More
Aqua and White Marbleized White Chocolate Wedding Cake
I love showing you something a little funky and off the beaten, trendy wedding path from time to time. This beautiful cake is neither buttercream nor fondant (although we suspect that buttercream is the glue beneath the surface.) The decoration here is chocolate, believe it or not! The stunning marbleized effect is achieved by using transfer sheets with edible dye. The chocolatier spreads tempered chocolate over the acetate sheets, and as it cools to a hardened (though still malleable) state, the cake is wrapped with the sheets Read More
Cake Topper Friday: DIY Gilded Animal Candle Cake Topper
We are always up for wedding DIY at A Wedding Cake Blog. We’ve explored DIY wedding cake techniques, DIY mini cakes, and DIY cupcakes. (We are kinda all about the cake around here.) I mean, nothing is more gratifying than when you are at your bridal sparkly beautiful best, AND someone finds out that, why, yes you DID make every single one of those cake pops yourself!
But here, we are on to another level of craftiness: making your own candle cake toppers. I Love love love love LOVE! THIS! These gilded cupcake toppers look super high-end and all kinds of Read More
Copper and Chocolate Wedding Cake
Omistars in heaven above.
Really – why do we think that chocolate should be relegated to the groom’s cake? Let’s be honest. The brides do all the work. The brides starve and sweat their brains out in exercise classes to fit into that dress, and it’s the brides who avoid all those “illegal” foods leading up to the wedding so that they are their blushing, rosy perfect selves.
So seriously…WHO deserves chocolate at that wedding reception MORE THAN THE BRIDE?
And if our fair bride will be indulging in this Read More
