Chocolate Wedding Cake
If there’s one thing I wish I could do over from my wedding so many years ago it would be to include chocolate in my wedding cake.
Back in the day it was all about the white wedding cake – sure the flavors under the icing could vary, but standard white icing was all the rage.
But now I love the idea of serving a chocolate cake with chocolate icing because your guests will never expect it! Read More
Fun Wedding Favors – Maple Syrup in Leaf-shaped Bottles
This week it has felt like fall and I can’t say I’m complaining about the cooler temperatures. The leaves are just starting to change too which makes it even more obvious that fall is just around the corner.

Fall Basket Wedding Cake
It sure feels like fall today so that got me thinking about all things fall, like trips to the apple orchard. And baskets full of apples.
Which brings me to today’s wedding cake inspired by baskets.
I really like this five-tier cake for several reasons, including the fact that the icing color is rather non-traditional. It isn’t often that you see a mocha-hued wedding cake. Read More
Pumpkin Pie Wedding Cake
Let them eat…pumpkin pie!
OK, yes. There are still several weeks of summer left but I’m starting to spy fall decorations and pumpkin flavored treats all around. So I figured it was high time to start thinking about fall wedding cakes.
Or pies, like today’s pumpkin pie.
Now this is a completely non-traditional “wedding cake” but I really love it! This would be perfect for a late fall wedding – or even a wedding during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. Read More
Miniature Beach Chair Cake Topper
It seems almost official doesn’t it?
Summer is just about over. Everything is back-to-school this and that…so it’s time to fit in a few more beach-themed cakes and toppers before everything turns to pumpkins and fall.
Which brings me to today’s cake topper. I am a huge fan of Adirondack chairs – they grace the deck of my favorite beach house.
And this “Jimmy Buffet” themed cake topper with chairs and miniature tropical drinks is exactly what every beach-themed wedding cake needs!
This cake topper is from Landscapes In Miniature which is a quirky shop on Etsy!
The two chairs with the mini drinks and sea shells would be perfect for your beach-y wedding cake. You can also choose to add two pairs of flip flops to the cake topper design.
You can find these and several other adorable and fun cake toppers on this Etsy page!

Gone are the days of the ‘traditional’ bride and groom cake topper. Now it’s all about modern and “playful” decor for the top of your wedding cake.

But seriously, all joking aside … I really do love seeing fun and whimsical cake topper on wedding cakes. Heck, I’m even a fan of just using fresh blooms to accent the top of your cake.
As long as the cake topper adds beauty to the cake I say go for it! Read More
