Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 10, 2012
Happy Summer, Y’all! Again! And Happiest of Birthdays to my darling sister, Lisa, who makes age ___ look fabulous!
Well, between a myriad of playdates to plan, summer camp, visiting friends, and a beach crawl up the U.S. eastern coast (because I don’t get enough sand and sun in Florida, y’all), I’m a busy girl! But I wouldn’t have it any other way, because it’s fun, gracious, SQUEEEEE! and catch up and hugs and Lilly Pulitzer-wearin’ busy. Ya know?
So before I go for a workout to ensure I look good in all those bathing suits, I wanted to check in on y’all, and spend a little time looking Read More
For the Guys: West Virginia Mountaineers Groom’s Cake
So…this one is a wee bit…self-serving.
Well, less self-serving than “Hey, y’all, I may live in fab-o Florida now, but I am a proud Mountaineer by birth, and once a West Virginian, always a West Virginian.”
Ahem…too much info?
You see, we’re kind of a little state, often Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Love Birds
I have a slight obsession with birds. And so when I saw this cake topper on Pinterest I was in love!
I’m not so much in love with “traditional cake toppers” of the bride and groom, but more and more lately I have been discovering all of the Read More
Touch of Pink Wedding Cake
So confession time…I love pink! (Actually, I think I already confessed that. And is that confession-worthy? Whatevs.) The love affair started sometime during high school (I was way too much of a tomboy before that to be on board the pink train) and it has continued to this day. I may have a different staple color in my wardrobe this season and my room may no longer be the pink and brown it was in college, but I still adore all things pink.
When I spotted this cake, I fell in love. I love its dimensions and the layered look of the tiers. The burst of Read More
Feathers and Flowers Wedding Cake
Feathers are not usually my cup of tea. I don’t really know why other than I’m just not too fond of them but I kind of love the way Bobbette and Belle incorporated them into the design of today’s cake!
People tend to fear having a simple all white cake because it may not be memorable or it may look boring to the guest (I vehemently disagree!)…but with a touch of floral and other accessories you can kick up your wedding cake to the level of unforgettable! Bobbette and Belle, based out of Toronto, have Read More
Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Wedding Cake
Hello pink and green! Calling all sorority girls and Lilly Pulitzer fans…today’s featured cake is inspired by the designs of Lilly Pulitzer. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lilly Pulitzer think bright colors, fun beachy patterns, and all around girly-ness!
I love this cake for SO many reasons BUT we shall start with the bright colors! I love love LOVE! pink and green together (I know that trend is considered “out”…but bear with me) because the colors are so happy and vibrant…and they make me smile. And speaking of things I love…I love how the cake designer chose a different pattern for each tier. The design incorporates Read More
Vintage Elegance…White Cakes on Gold Cake Stands
Today’s feature has got to be one of my favorites so far! I mean, when I look at the picture it just takes my breath away.
One day down the road – when I take a walk down the aisle – I imagine something like this for my cake. The display is perfect in its Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 3, 2012
Heya Hiya! How’s your weekend going? Mine is super fantabulous.
We have officially started summer here in our household (I know what the calendar says. Whatevs.) With no more schoolwork, and the beach beckoning (not to mention that fab-o hammock) it’s hard to act like it isn’t the Second Most Wonderful Time of the Year. So onto picnics and lazy days and flower picking. Yes please.
Before we wax all Read More
For the Guys: King’s Cake Groom’s Cake
Ah, Mardi Gras.
I happen to live in a place where Mardi Gras lasts a lot longer than it should. No, I don’t live in New Orleans, or even Rio. I live in Orlando, and thanks to Universal Studios Theme Park, I hear about Mardi Gras looooonnnnngggg into the Lenten Season. But I digress.
I happen to love the tradition of the King Cake. Do you know about this? A king cake is a brioche-style cake, which may or may not have a filling, that’s traditionally baked in a ring, and decorated with a glaze and the colors of Mardi Gras: yellow, purple, and green. Another fun part of the tradition? There is usually Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sitting Bride and Groom Cake Topper
Has any part of your courtship involved sitting on a dock, dangling your feet in the water? Will your reception offer such a refreshment? Well then, this is the cake topper for you!
I think this is so sweet. It’s as if the bride and groom Read More
