Brown and Sage Polka Dot and Bow Wedding Cake
First, let me apologize for the less-than-super sharp picture. But I thought this cake was post-worthy, so I went with it 
Isn’t it darling? I mean, we aren’t seeing anything terrifically new or daring here, but what we are seeing is executing beautifully. First of all, I LOVE brown – and it doesn’t even have to be chocolate for me to be happy about it. Secondly, I’m not always a big fan of fondant bows…honestly, most of the time, I’d rather see satin ribbon. But this one is perfect and gorgeous! Scaled exactly perfectly to the cake.
I like the Read More
Steampunk Wedding Cake
Time for something a little out there!
We kept seeing the term “steampunk,” and not being so much in the know (or rather being too busy to care about being “in the know”) I had no clue what this meant. And so I Googled it.
That’s when I found out that steampunk is basically a genre of….stuff, that looks old timey and futuristic all at the same time. Think that Wild Wild West movie with Will Smith, Salma Hayek, and Kevin Kline (which I’ve never seen…but I’ve seen some pics. That counts, right?) Normally, this involves stuff that’s set in a time that used steam power, like Read More
Hostess Cupcake Groom’s Cake
What is with me and chocolate lately? Wait. Could there BE a dumber question? Eh. It is what it is. And…what it is…is another chocolate cake from Brooke. 😉
But look at it, will ya? Like I could resist! It’s a giant Hostess cupcake, perched upon the top of what we suspect is the groom’s cake for a lovely summer celebration. And it’s perfectly executed and instantly recognizable.
Okay, so…confession. I was never really allowed to have these as a kid, and I wouldn’t let my children touch Hostess products with a ten-foot pole, so they would have Read More

Oh, but we have hit Spring Fever with a vengeance in my household.
We want to go to the beach! And the pool! Because in Florida, Spring Fever looks a lot like, you know, summer. But there have been stock car races and Bike Weeks and crazy parties for Irish folk to get through…before the Spring Breakers descend. And we are eager to join them. Like, next week.
So, we are introducing a slightly different format for our Let Them Eat Cake blog round-up, starting this week. We’ll be sharing with you what we’ve been up to all week (in case you missed it…it’s one stop Read More

Naked Cake Part Two: Bananas Foster Wedding Cake
A couple of weeks ago, I featured this naked wedding cake, and got (mostly) rave reviews! Y’all loved its rustic warmth and general yummy lookingness. Well, I couldn’t help but share this one with you, too. Because it’s kind of a mess, but I lurve it.
This bananas foster naked cake is obviously inspired by the flambe dessert that has been made famous in New Orleans. I love the perfectly controlled chaos here – layer upon layer of cake and bananas and yummy filling, heaped, but neatly heaped. All displayed on a lovely, vintage milkglass pedestal stand.
How darling would this cake be for a Read More
Chocolate Truffle Wedding Cake
Care for some chocolate? Because I am having a totally chocolate attack. And now, so are you.
Martha strikes again, y’all. Don’t you simply love this? Inspired by the French croquembouche, which is a tower of cream puffs covered with spun sugar, Martha Stewart and Co. came up with this chocolate truffle wedding cake. This is seven layers of cake, coated with chocolate ganache. The hand rolled truffles are then coated in different cocoa powders for slight variation in color, cut in half, then Read More
Copper and Chocolate Wedding Cake
Omistars in heaven above.
Really – why do we think that chocolate should be relegated to the groom’s cake? Let’s be honest. The brides do all the work. The brides starve and sweat their brains out in exercise classes to fit into that dress, and it’s the brides who avoid all those “illegal” foods leading up to the wedding so that they are their blushing, rosy perfect selves.
So seriously…WHO deserves chocolate at that wedding reception MORE THAN THE BRIDE?
And if our fair bride will be indulging in this Read More
Classic Ribbon Cake
Let’s just get classic. It’s been awhile since I’ve done an honest to goodness classic gorgeous cake. This is a four tiered round cake covered in white fondant with a white etched diamond pattern. What does it for me is the gorgeous brown ribbon tied around the base of the second tier. Let’s not forget the diamond initial broach in the center. Oh yes…diamonds are a girl’s best friend. I love that this cake is classic but has a little bit of bling. This cake was made by Palermo’s Custom Cakes and Bakery in New Jersey. You should check out their website Read More
Chocolate Fondant and Autumn Tree Wedding Cake
Isn’t this pretty? So nice and…autumn-y. I think Christen will be really impressed with me for posting this one. What do y’all think?
This beautiful cake, made by Slice Cake Studio in Longmont, CO, was inspired by the couple’s wedding invitation! I would really like to see that stationary personally, because this is stunning and I think it just looks, well…yummy.
Three layers, perfectly uniform in height…the bottom and top covered with a rich, chocolate-brown fondant. And sandwiched Read More
Green and Brown Wedding Cake
I picked this cake for one reason.
Thin. Mints.
That’s what this cake reminds me of. The thin minty goodness that appears every March and then is unceremoniously ripped from the parking lots of grocery stores a few weeks later. I typically cry until June and then I forget about it again until February when my little friend comes around with her cookie selling sheet. Oh yes. I love Thin Mints.
I have no idea if this cake is actually mint flavored..but the light green and brown color combination remind me of them. Or perhaps it’s the chocolate leaves as the topper that make me think mint. Either way it’s a yummy looking cake!
