Adorable Bow-Accented Pink Wedding Cake
I just found my new favorite wedding. Well, for today, anyway.
This one is adorably quirky, and brings in elements of both the bride’s and groom’s heritages — which, I’m guessing, were Asian and Russian, respectively. My favorite touches? The ab Read More

Stephanotis Nosegay Cake Topper
My senior year in high school, the sweetest boy took me to prom. I wasn’t big on corsages, especially those wrist-y kind that were so popular at the time. So I asked for a nosegay, a little bouquet that I could carry. He obliged with the most adorable little cluster of pink tea roses, surrounded by baby’s breath and variegated leaves and pink ribbon. Sigh. And wow. I can super still remember that
So nosegays have always had a little place in my heart. My girls carried nosegays instead of full bouquets for my wedding, in fact (Nikko blue hydrangeas in that instance.) There’s just something so classic about their Read More
Sari-Inspired Wedding Cake
This beautiful sari-inspired wedding cake is the incredible work of Cory Pohlman, head decorator at Rosebud Cakes in Beverly Hills, California. Elin from Rosebud tells me that the entire family came into the bakery to sample the cake, and wanted something less sweet than a typical American bakery wedding cake. They wanted unusual flavors that would stand out in the memories of their guests. The bride also wanted to pull in design elements from her wedding ensemble and her colors, and provided Cory with pictures of these things, as well as photos of other things she liked. The result was Read More
Silver Coin Wedding Cake
We all know that gold continues to be hot! hot! hot! this year. But no matter how many gold trends come and go, I shall always be a silver girl (or white gold. Or platinum. You get my drift.)
This cake caught my eye right away. Featured at a wedding in Santa Ana, California, what a rich look it has! I love the geometrical pattern of the coins all over the cake; it’s executed flawlessly…and do NOT think that that happened without a whole lotta work. The edible coins rest on a palette of buttercream, and the whole thing is quite Read More
Navy Blue Wedding Cake with Pearls
I’m a Pearl Girl, y’all. And my favorite color? That would be blue. So, yes. This is one fantastic cake. Silver and blue and pearls, oh my.
Navy blue fondant. Six tiers of varying height, with a couple of scalloped-edge layers thrown in. And those pearls? I believe those are handmade. Can you even fathom how long those strands took to create? What a classic and preppy cake. Wouldn’t it be so awesome to see the wedding that it went with?
This lovely showstopper Read More
