kids at weddings

Since we love weddings around here, we’ve come to know a thing or two about throwing a GREAT one.  Years ago, I read a brilliant book by Miss Manners, a compilation of her best wedding advice, and it influenced my ideas of the perfect wedding a lot.  Take the hot topic of Read More

Hiya and Happy Sunday!

As we get back into the swing of school and tailgating season (woohoo!), I’m reminded once more of how utterly terrific and wonderful and fabulous fall is.  Cooler temps (or at least less humidity), new challenges, pretty leaves, and a slew of fun holidays to look forward to!

We’re ready to get out there and show you what we found this week.  But before we get started, let’s take a look at the coolness we featured here on A Wedding Cake Blog.

Cake Topper Friday: Sweet Western Waltz Couple

Are you marrying a cowboy?  Then you most certainly need this sweet western waltz cake topper.

Sure, being romanced by a cowboy is something right out of a Harlequin novel in my world.  But it happens!  I see a lot of lovely wedding pics from all kinds of places in my line of work, and some of the most moving are the ones that feature big ole hats on the fellas and beautiful boots under those demure skirts.

Wouldn’t this Read More

Rustic Flower Basket Wedding Cake

I wanted to feature a cake today that was sort of an homage to summer’s last big hurrah.  After all, it’s still summer. It’s too hot to call it fall yet, and besides, we haven’t hit the equinox. :-)

So what signals the end of summer better than gathering an overgrown bounty?  This Flower Basket Wedding Cake was the perfect fit.

Look closely, because those baskets are, in fact, cakes.  The sugar paste flowers appear to be the star of the show when really, they’re just garnish.

Isn’t the detail Read More

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

From the pages of Martha Stewart, we find this new take on a much loved classic, Red Velvet Cake.

Everybody knows that the BEST red velvet cakes must be covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, right?  I mean, you do know that?  Well, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room for creativity on the outside of your cake…so this baker, Francina Stewart of One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn, took to the inside to set her cake apart.  The outside is covered with Read More

Chocolate Cigarette Wedding Cake

Hey Y’all!  Happy Labor Day Weekend!

I hope you’re taking a break from your labor, actually, and having a good time on this, the unofficial last weekend of summer.  And if you, like me, live in a place where school has been back for a few weeks, it probably feels like this milestone came awhile back.

But we can still get out and enjoy each other, yes?

We are off to Read More

For the Guys: Groom’s ‘Cake’ Picnic Feast

Grooms cake picnic

Guys, I had to.

So many times, I see groom’s cakes, and I think, that groom had NOTHING to do with picking out this cake.

But this one has the mark of GUY  all over it.

From the chicken tender bottom tier, to the subs on the middle tier, to the bowl of macaroni salad on the top tier (oh boy, I hope they didn’t freeze it) and beyond – to the Chewbacca and Bride cake toppers….nothing has EVER said Read More
