Rustic Sweets Table and Pie Pops!
Don’t you love when a plan really comes together?
I thought this sweets table was adorable. Now, I could be missing my mark here, but it doesn’t appear to be highly stylized…in other words, it might be DIY, y’all. I’m not sure. But it’s really done well, don’t you think? From the square of burlap that adorns the table to the lace cafe curtains in the back, it’s just all lovely. The macarons are a little Read More
Pearl Encrusted Wedding Cake with Monogram
Oh. My. Pearls.
On the heels of Julia Child’s 100th birthday last week, I’ve been in love all over again with pearls. They are ALWAYS my first choice, the thing I gravitate towards in the case. And so, it should come as NO surprise that I loved the cake the instant I saw it.
It’s just so perfect. And there’s something about that many sugar pearls on a cake that seems so, well, elegantly decadent. That Jenniffer from Cup a Dee Cakes paired the pearls with a Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for August 19, 2012
Greetings and salutations!
I have a question for you: why, oh why, does it take going back to school for kiddoes to make life suddenly make sense and seem orderly again? I think that’s hitting the nail on the head. It’s a sense of order. A sense of order that my household has been sorely lacking since the Great Homeschool Experiment of ’11.
Homeschooling parents? God bless ’em. We found out that a) this career girl may not be cut out for that kinda thing; b) my daughter may not be, either. So maybe we’ll revisit in a few years. Or maybe not. You don’t know until you try it, and for now, we’re gonna throw the towel in.
What does this have to do with weddings? Oh, Read More
For the Guys: Groom’s Bokeh Cake
Sometimes, you just need a LOT of chocolate. This would be one of those times.
Oh, but how I wish I were going to a wedding where this cake was being served today! How about you?
Something deliciously drippy and decadent, like this Read More
Pink Peony Cupcake Tower
Love. This.
Normally, I would split these pics up, but I A) wanted you to see the general, and then the detail, and B) didn’t want to mess with the photographer’s watermark. K. Technical discolosure complete. Let’s gush.
Isn’t this gorgeous? I mean, you Read More
Tropical Orange and Hot Pink Wedding Cake
I’m feeling a little tropical-y today, girls.
Isn’t this lovely? It’s like a sunset, you know? The structured bands of orange range from palest to deepest with a lovely ombre effect, and the contrasting hot pink posy is, well, perfection. It makes me Read More
Pink Bow Wedding Cake
Sometimes I see simple, beautiful, easy-to-do ideas, and I think, why didn’t I think of that?
I know. You do too.
This cake is kinda like that, you know? When I saw this, I thought it was adorable, but even more than that, I thought that it was so do-able. Like DIY-able. Basically, you make teeny tiny satin ribbon bows, affix them to floral wire, and stick them into the cake. Done.
But maybe your thing isn’t bows. But you could do this with Read More
White on White Seashell Wedding Cake
I hope you aren’t tired of beach-inspired wedding cakes, because I probably never will be.
I know that I’ve featured my fair share of wedding cakes that incorporate ocean elements over the last couple of years, like this Teal Seashell Wedding Cake from a wedding in Key West. Well, today’s cake has kind of an interesting story, too.
This cake was made for a recent wedding at Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for August 12, 2012
We are back from a little jaunt to the Southernmost Point in the US y’all, for one last summer hurrah before school starts! And while I dry out and give my liver a rest, I thought I’d entertain the both of us by seeing what went on in the world of wedding while I was playing in the (almost) Caribbean! But let’s Read More
For the Guys: Pint Groom’s Cake
I have beer on the brain.
I’m not sure whether it’s the two days straight that I’ve opted for meals in pubs, or if it’s the fact that I just spent an awesome week with a beer loving friend, but I knew it was time to feature that king of groom’s cakes: The Beer Cake.
But isn’t this cool? If I’m gonna drink beer, it’s gonna be a good one, and this replica of a pint of Guiness Extra Stout, with lots of cute changes made to the label to make it an original statement, is just awesome, and celebrates right where I am today. I don’t know if it makes me crave cake or beer, though. Either way, it’s good.
We found this fantastic cake on Pinterest, but if you’re after the look, it was created by the team at Pink Cake Box. We are huge fans of their meticulous work.
