Gingham and Flower Wedding Cake
Gingham is darling anyway, but gingham on a cake? Yes, please!
The brainchild of Bijoux Doux in New York City, this cake is whimsical, joie de vivre-y, and makes me want to wear a party dress and drink lemonade. In other words, it’s summer perfection.
The double-height layers – an effect that we just love around here – are covered with what appear to be made with a silkscreen transfer on sheets of chocolate, but it could be fondant with an amazingly sharp edge. The muted Read More
Springerle Wedding Cake
I. LOVE. THIS. CAKE.
I know, I know. I start WAY too many posts this way. I guess it’s an ÜBER good thing that I write a wedding cake blog, eh? 😉 And speaking of über things, how about this gorgeous Springerle Wedding Cake, courtesy of über-fabulous Martha Stewart?
Do you know about springerle? Well (she says in her mom tone), you should. Springerle is normally a shortbread-type cookie, which is made by pressing the dough into a mold, and then baking it. It’s a Read More
Wedding Cake Cake Pops
Today’s post is kind of a tongue twister…Wedding Cake Cake Pops. How precious and cute are these? I mean the cake pop trend has taken off but these are a whole new kind of adorable!
If you are going back and forth between a traditional wedding cake and a fun alternative like cake pops then these could be your perfect alternative! You could even have them displayed on a tiered stand to mimic a wedding cake. And you can make these at home! The ever so wonderful Duff of Charm City Cakes has made this into a cake pop kit. If only I had known about these last year for the Royal Wedding!
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 17, 2012
Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads out there! While we are fixin’ to set out on a beach picnic (I know…tiresome…that’s how we celebrate everything, it seems), I love showing you what we’ve been up to all week, as well as checking out what our friends are doing with their extraordinary gifts and abilities. Let’s start with our some pretty cakes, brought to you by, well, US!
On Monday, I shared with you what is destined to be one of my most favorite cakes EVER – the Teacup Wedding Cake.
Tuesday brought with it Shades of….Purple, when Kasey shared a lovely Read More
For the Guys: Chocolate Kumquat Groom’s Cake
Boys, I’m goin’ all fancy on ya today.
Oh, sure, I love themed groom’s cakes just as much as the rest of you do. But sometimes, the inner pâtissier in me calls out for something with just a little more refinement, like this incredible Chocolate Kumquat Cake.
Featured on the pages of Martha Stewart Weddings, I don’t figure this would be the grandest wish of your run-o’-the-mill groom. But if you’re looking for a winter-time showstopper with some panache, THIS is your cake. Kumquats, which look like adorably Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Snow Lover’s Cake Topper

Lizzie and Chris both love the slopes in Vermont – so much so, that they actually Read More
Coral and Blue Nautical Wedding Cake
I love sweet and simple. And today’s cake is just that!
Cake Goodness in California is the bakery behind this sweet nautical-themed cake, which was featured on Style Me Pretty, and was captured by Shannon Lee Images. And I have to say that I love how they incorporated so much into such a little cake! This cake was for a beach wedding in Malibu – hello dream wedding location! – and as the wedding incorporated nautical elements, it was important to carry the theme through to the cake. The blue and white stripes on the lower tier evoke that beach club, nautical feel, and the fondant rope around the base of the top tier really completes the look. But they took it one step further and “iced” it with a cake stand that incorporated a blue and white striped ribbon. I also love how they stepped out of the traditional yellow and blue nautical color scheme and went with blue and coral. The coral dahlia on top is fun and unique and sweet! And I love that they incorporated their monogram on the top tier.
To sum it up pretty much everything about this cake is perfect!
Vintage Elegance Wedding Cake
G’day mate! Today’s cake comes to you all the way from Australia! No, I’m not there on vacation (although I really wish I were!) but Melania’s Exquisite Cakes is located in Sydney and they are responsible for this gorgeous cake!
Vintage, Elegance, Gorgeous, Sexy, Romantic…these are all of the words that come to my mind when I think about this cake. I love how a cake can Read More
Purple Ombre Wedding Cake
Hello, Beautiful! Today’s featured cake is a purple ombre wedding cake. And I L-O-V-E it!
This incredible cake was designed for a fun Pinterest-inspired wedding shoot in Virginia, and was featured on Ruffled Blog. AND – one of our favoritest bakers, Kara from A Cake to Remember in Richmond, Virginia, created the gorgeousness!
I love how Kara moved from a deep purple on the bottom tier up to a pale lavender on the top. And I absolutely love Read More
Teacup Wedding Cake
Darlings…we have a new entry in the quest for Brooke’s cake heart.
I am a passionate follower of afternoon tea, and I love anything to do with tea time and its rituals. So when Marianne Kuhn of Dazzlelicious Cakes in Plymouth, England, introduced herself to me on Facebook recently, and I was so glad she did! Because I instantly fell in love with her cakes, and this one currently has the top place with me. From Marianne, I learned some delightful details about the cake. The couple wanted only a small cake, but loved Marianne’s flavors so much that they ended up asking for four tiers! They wanted to incorporate Read More
