Rustic Fall Cake with Acorns
We raked a lot of leaves over the weekend around here. The trees are just past peak color and the leaves are raining down in our yards.
Another thing raining down – acorns!
Which brings us to today’s fall-inspired wedding cake featuring colorful fall leaves and acorns.
This one-tier cake practically screams fall … in an elegant and refined manner of course. Read More
Naked Chocolate Wedding Cake for Fall
I have been craving chocolate lately.
I blame the displays of Halloween candy in the stores and the fact that I’m trying to avoid sweets.
So, to curb my cravings I’ve been looking at chocolate wedding cakes. And today’s featured cake looks delicious!
This naked chocolate cake is the perfect “undressed” cake for a fall wedding thanks to the espresso frosting and the fresh berries and figs that adorn the cake. Read More
Rustic Fall Wedding Cake
It’s November! There is no denying it now – we are celebrating all things fall!
For me, a fall-inspired wedding cake features dark hues with some pops of dark colors.
Take today’s cake for example.
I love the rustic vibe of this cake from the chocolate ganache icing that gives the cake a “woodsy” feel to the dark fruit and flowers used as accents. Read More
Fun Wedding Favors – Pumpkin Brownies
Today is the first full day of fall and I have to admit I'm completely obsessed with all things pumpkin right now.

Thanksgiving Cornucopia Cake
Happy Thanksgiving friends! I hope you are spending your day with family and friends and eating lots of turkey, playing football and scarfing down some pie. In other news…

The people at The Pink Cake Box must have had an un-turkey like vision for this beautiful three tiered spice cake. Yum. A Thanksgiving wedding with spice cake just seems like an amazing idea. In order to make it fall themed they added apples, Read More
Halloween Cakes
Halloween is my second favorite holiday of the year. It’s a close second to Christmas…but that’s not really a fair comparison though. I mean Christmas lasts from November 1st to January 1st…basically. Halloween gets a good solid week of celebration but it’s such a FUN celebration. One day (or two or three if you happen to be extremely popular and get invited to multiple parties) a year you get to abandon yourself and pretend to be someone (or something) else for just a little while. Did you know that Halloween weddings are actually more popular than Christmas weddings? It’s true. I looked it up in this big book I have in my living room Read More
