Gator Cake Topper
So…full disclosure: I am not so much a Florida Gators fan, even though I live right here in Gator Country. However, when in Rome, yes?
Aren’t these darling? These Gator cake toppers pay homage to the University of Florida mascots – and maybe the alligator that lives in your Read More
Nautical Love Wedding Cake
A couple of months ago, I talked about the fabulous Cakes By Beth and her equally fabulous 2012 Cake Collection. I promised more gorgeousness from Beth, didn’t I? Well, today is the day, Cake Fans!
While I absolutely ADORED Beth’s Gothic Roses and Birdcage Cake (especially right in the middle of Downton Abbey Fever hitting us here in the States in FULL force), I really, really fell in love with this Nautical Love Wedding Cake immediately. Oh, and I can tell you exactly why, no doubt. If you’ve spent anytime here on A Wedding Cake Blog, you’ve figured out that I am a Florida girl, and lover of all things beachy and water-related. My happy place is staring out at the Big Blue Ocean. I would SUPER be that bride with seashells adorning her wedding invitations (in fact, I was.) So my love for this cake was instantaneous. Love at first sight. That Beth used my favorite color
– blue – and lots of shades of it, with awesomeness STRIPES and a very cool rope motif…well, it was icing on the cake. (I had to. I had to go there.)
And one of my favorite things about the collection? Every cake had corresponding cookies or cupcakes, which demonstrate an extension of each theme brilliantly. I love LOVE the marbelized heart!

Wedding Bells Wedding Cake
We still say that wedding bells are ringing…but when did you actually last hear some?
Well, even if churches don’t still come with nifty bell towers (and lots of people don’t even get married in churches these days), it’s still a quaint thought. And this cake celebrates that notion bee-autifully.
Two square tiers, flawlessly covered in white fondant and trimmed with an edge of tiny white dots are then embellished with bells, cut out from more fondant, painted with edible gold dust, and Read More
Brown and Sage Polka Dot and Bow Wedding Cake
First, let me apologize for the less-than-super sharp picture. But I thought this cake was post-worthy, so I went with it 
Isn’t it darling? I mean, we aren’t seeing anything terrifically new or daring here, but what we are seeing is executing beautifully. First of all, I LOVE brown – and it doesn’t even have to be chocolate for me to be happy about it. Secondly, I’m not always a big fan of fondant bows…honestly, most of the time, I’d rather see satin ribbon. But this one is perfect and gorgeous! Scaled exactly perfectly to the cake.
I like the Read More
Yellow Ombre Buttercream Wedding Cake
Are you a fan of ombre? I am. I love this look on walls, papers, dresses…and, of course, ombre wedding cakes.
This yellow ombre cake is one of the prettiest examples of the technique I’ve seen. It’s really subtle, with just a kiss of color toward the bottom, for the couple who really like the idea of a white cake, but want just a tiny touch of color. The darling cake topper, consisting of a compact nosegay of yellow roses and other flowers, perfectly punctuates the look.
Beyond the ombre, aren’t the buttercream ribbons that adorn the cake fantastic? Look closely, and you’ll see that the effect Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 15, 2012
Happy Tax Day, Y’all!
Well…technically, it’s not, since it’s, you know, a Sunday. And the government DOES still take weekends off. Still, I see that date on the calendar and that’s what I think of. Oh no! Wait! Whew. Okay. I already did that.
So, I’m sure we’d all rather talk about April showers, May flowers, etc, etc.
Really, I am so crazy excited Read More

One for the Guys: Golf Green Cupcake Cluster
Have you seen this fun idea – taking a cluster of cupcakes, and decorating them to be a unified them, which can look almost like a sheet cake – only WAY funner?
I admit, up to now, I’ve seen this creative technique applied mostly for children’s birthday parties. But I love LOVE using cupcakes for a groom’s cake! I mean, why shouldn’t your Main Squeeze celebrate the Big Day with manly cupcakes of his own?
This look is Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Diamond Engagement Ring
Helloooo, Cupcake.
I may have just found my favoritest. Cake topper. EVER.
DIAMONDS.
Specifically, one mongo huge diamond, in the form of a solitare setting, nestled in the luxe cream cheese icing of a perfectly sumptuous red velvet cupcake.
OMG.
So, Girls, can you think of a better way for Read More
Fondant Cameo Cupcake
Sigh. I heart silhouettes.
I mean, they’re right up there with monograms for a Southern girl, you know? So fabulous. And the Kelly green background? It’s like a cupcake right out of Lillian Pulitzer, yes?
Okay…so maybe using your own silhouette (just you…no groom involved) may be just a leetle bit full-of-yourself-ish at your wedding, but we think this is a totally kickin’ and completely Read More
Cupcake Tower with Oversized Cutting Cupcake
We’ve all seen those molds for the giant cupcakes. I mean, they are the stuff that dreams are made of, yes? I envision sitting down, giant glass of milk in hand, and just digging in. So when I saw this cupcake tower with a giant cupcake as the pinnacle, the cutting cake, I super loved it.
The sweet, ruffly layers of buttercream and the adorable, lacy papers truly finish the look off in style, but it is the scale of the giant cuppy, which I feel sure will be used for the bride and groom to do their ceremonial cake cutting, that steals the show. The whole effect – fondant pearls, bows, and flowers, with plenty of Read More
