Nautical Love Wedding Cake

Nautical love wedding cake (compressed)

A couple of months ago, I talked about the fabulous Cakes By Beth and her equally fabulous 2012 Cake Collection. I promised more gorgeousness from Beth, didn’t I? Well, today is the day, Cake Fans!

While I absolutely ADORED Beth’s Gothic Roses and Birdcage Cake (especially right in the middle of Downton Abbey Fever hitting us here in the States in FULL force), I really, really fell in love with this Nautical Love Wedding Cake immediately.  Oh, and I can tell you exactly why, no doubt.  If you’ve spent anytime here on A Wedding Cake Blog, you’ve figured out that I am a Florida girl, and lover of all things beachy and water-related.  My happy place is staring out at the Big Blue Ocean.  I would SUPER be that bride with seashells adorning her wedding invitations (in fact, I was.)  So my love for this cake was instantaneous.  Love at first sight.  That Beth used my favorite color – blue – and lots of shades of it, with awesomeness STRIPES and a very cool rope motif…well, it was icing on the cake.  (I had to.  I had to go there.)

And one of my favorite things about the collection?  Every cake had corresponding cookies or cupcakes, which demonstrate an extension of each theme brilliantly.  I love LOVE the marbelized heart!

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for January 22, 2012

White wedding cake with cream ribbon

Happy…hmmm…well…let me think about it…Sunday!  Happy Sunday, Everyone!

Oh, but we have entered into that part of winter when winter is no longer enchanting.  (Well.  I assume.  I mean, I live in Florida, and I’m going to the beach today.  Hate me if you must.)  But really, I remember this time of year when I lived up north.  Christmas is over.  Spring seems far, far, far, far…  Thanks be to God for Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and St. Patty’s, or we’d all go stark raving mad, I’m afraid.

Speaking of such things, I love all the little holidays.  Isn’t it just so awesome that in life, there just always seems to be something to celebrate Read More

Beach Wedding Cake

beach

Isn’t this always how it goes.

In August I was tired of sweat behind my knees 14 hours a day and ready for the cool breeze of fall.  By the time November rolled around I was ready for Thanksgiving to be finished so that I could kick off the Christmas season.  Now that it’s January and the days. seem. to. take. forever.  I can’t wait until it’s beach season.

Yes, I did skip right over spring because that’s what South Carolina does.  50 degrees and gloomy one day…75 and gorgeous the next.

Here it is in January.  MLK Holiday has passed and minus a teacher work day or two I am in that awful Jan/Feb/March OH MY Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round Up for September 18, 2011

Birch Tree Wedding Cake

Pardon me while I turn down the a/c so I can bake some pumpkin muffins.

Anyone else in a rush for fall to feel like, you know, fall?  Here in the extreme Southeast, we’ve learned to take our fall cues from things other than the rustle of leaves and the cooling of temperatures.  How do I know it’s fall?  Well…lovebugs come back for round two. (Or is it round three?)  Pumpkin patches start to pop up (and we have our pictures taken in folksy settings in our tanks and shorts and flip flops.)  It’s not as hot…in the evening.  Meaning that it dips below, you know, eighty.

So in this weird time, where the magazines are Read More

Beach Cupcake Perfection

Beach Cupcakes

I am in love. I am in love with a group of cupcakes.

Y’all know that I’m a beachy kinda girl, n’est pas?  I mean, give me two spare hours and see if you’ll catch me ANYWHERE else.  I will be under the umbrella, swimsuit on, iPod tuned to something mellow, watching the tide ebb and flow.

So it should come as no surprise that I instantly fell in love with this aDORable Read More
