Apple Wedding Cake Redux

Martha Stewart Apple Cake

This is one of my all-time favorite cakes that I’ve featured.  Why am I providing you with a re-run today, you ask?  A couple of reasons:

1. A cake loved should be shared more than once.

2. We will never forget.

So today, although I will not dwell on what September 11 has come to mean to Americans as well as others around the world, I do offer you this apple cake Read More

Raven Wedding Cake

Raven Wedding Cake

This. Is. Read More

Fall Fruits Wedding Cake

Martha Stewart Apple Cake

Sometimes, there is just no way to react to a cake, other than….

Sigh.

Isn’t this just simplicity and beauty and wholesomeness wrapped up in a tidy little edible confection?  I bring you this cake courtesy of Martha Stewart Weddings.  The cake was made by Karen Menning Porter, the sister of the bride.  Karen apparently owned Tilly’s Cakes of Neodesha, Kansas, at the time of the post, but I can no longer find a website :-(

BUT – let’s focus on the Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for December 11, 2011

Pearlized Snow Berry Fake  Wedding Cake

Happy December, Y’all!  We hope that you’re having as much fun as we are with this holiday season!

Last night, we celebrated an early Canadian Christmas with good friends.  Keith, you see, grew up in Canada, and Robin keeps some of the fun traditions alive every year.  In the past couple of seasons, we’ve gotten in on the fun.  Tourtiere, a hearty French onion soup topped with a wonderful Gruyere, potatoes au gratin, and, for the first time, a buche de noel!  And we can’t forget the fabulous French wines.  Yum!  It’s a special Read More

Bare Branch Wedding Cake

Bare Branches Wedding Cake

We’re gearing up – or maybe you’re already in full throttle – for the spectacularity that is the Winter Holiday Season – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU!  But do you remember the old days?  The days when Christmas didn’t start five minutes after you pushed back from your Thanksgiving seconds?  Or – shudder – right after the Labor Day picnic?

Am I showing my age?  Sigh.

Well…all of that to say that I do remember such a time…a time when you thought…hmm…it’s not fall, it’s not Christmas…it…just…is.  No pretty leaves, no super crazy snow.  Just beautiful bare Read More

Dark Red Roses Cake

Dark Roses Cake

Well, by now you know that we are all about the seasons around here.  But sometimes it’s nice to see an expression of seasons in a way that isn’t so typical.  Take autumn, for instance.  You think autumn wedding cake, your mind automatically goes to colored leaves.  But here’s another take on the colors of fall:  rich red roses.

It was love at first sight when I saw this cake.  The simple buttercream finish is trimmed with a wide, black ribbon, elegant scrollwork, and the most beautiful deep red roses.  For an interesting contrast, the roses are paired with orchids.  You would never think, “I know, I’ll put orchids and roses Read More

Thanksgiving Cornucopia Cake

thanksgiving

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…

I did it! I actually found a Thanksgiving themed cake that is NOT shaped like a Turkey. Who knew it was possible?

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

Roses and geometric shapes cake

Happy Fall, Y’all!

Well…fall-ish. Reports are tricklin’ into me from all over the country, from friends who are waking up to cooler breezes, nicer temperatures…my friend Matt in Texas even told me it cooled down to 90 in Austin yesterday.

But here in Florida, I’m manufacturing my fall Read More

Rustic Autumn Wedding Cake

Rustic Autumn Wedding Cake

I love me some fall.

Sure, most of the time (read: last week), you’ll find me prattling on about the beach and beachy fun.  But truth be told, autumn is my favorite time of the year.  And you don’t get so much autumn in Florida, until, oh, around January.

So about this time of the year, I start manufacturing autumn in my head.  And I do that by baking with pumpkin and apple, and looking at fall-y things.  This cake is just such Read More
