I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love wedding favors that are “mini.”

Whether it’s mini rolling suitcases or mini bird’s nests, the smaller the favor the cuter it is in my book. Of course, it also has to be useful in some way or at least filled with something yummy.

Which brings me to today’s fun mini wedding favor – mini apothecary jars with lids! Read More

Which brings us to today’s cake.

I love the rustic simplicity of this cake and think it would be ideal for that late summer/early fall wedding. Read More

Now this is a fun wedding cake!

How often have you seen a wedding cake shaped like a barrel? Never, right?

Well now you can say that you’ve seen it all.

I absolutely love the charm and humor of this wedding cake from our friends at Hockleys Cakes over in the United Kingdom!

The story behind this cake is that the reception was held in a rustic, traditional English pub and the cake was created to reflect the venue. Now that’s a pub I’d like to visit! Read More

I recently saw someone post on Facebook that there are only 20 Fridays left until Christmas.

And while that seems a little bit crazy, I figured today was as good a day as any to feature this Winter Wonderland wedding cake.

Our good friends at Hockleys Cakes created this whimsical cake for a winter wedding. The cake reflects a “Toytown” theme.

The six tier cake features a blue sky background which enhances the colors of the toys, animals, and buildings that are on display. Read More

But just because choosing a china pattern has fallen out of favor with some modern brides doesn’t mean your cake can’t be inspired by a china pattern. Read More
