Apple Wedding Cake Redux
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
It’s that time of year again! No, not back to school or summer ending or fall beginning. It’s the time of year when I start looking for crazy and fabulous seasonal wedding cakes! And since I’m already finding TONS, I had to go ahead and give you a preview of the stash with today’s post – the Raven Wedding Cake.
This. Is. Read More
Fall Fruits Wedding 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
Bare Branch 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
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
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
Geometric Shapes with Roses 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
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
