Today, we continue to celebrate the beautiful, multi-cake reception that I discovered this week on Martha Stewart Weddings with what is probably my favorite cake of the week.

I mean, the Toile de Jouy was breathtaking, and the Silver Pumpkin Cake was just lovely. But this Rustic Carrot Cake with Glazed Figs is mouth-wateringly beautiful. And isn't that what it's all about?

I love a beautiful cake, and I've seen some real showstoppers. But at the end of the day, the foodie in me prizes fresh ingredients and simple methods that allow natural flavors to shine through above everything – even aesthetics. This is cake is beautiful to me in its rustic simplicity.
