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
Purple and Gold Wedding Cake
There is a small college in my town and their colors are purple and gold. Every Saturday during football season I see cars and people covered head to toe in purple and gold. This cake is for them…and anyone else who likes purple and gold.
I love, love, love the deep purple almost eggplant-y flowers. A few years ago my best friend, who loves purple, was getting married and I desperately tried to convince her to let us wear eggplant-colored dresses. This may have been selfish because I was going to be eight months pregnant at the time of her wedding and wanted a slimming color. For some reason Read More
Big Huge Harrod’s Cake
Oh hi, guess what? It’s our 300th post! No big deal right?
Big deal to me! Granted I know I haven’t written all 300 of them myself…we’ve got to give a big shout out to Brooke who takes the weekend shift and creates a great round up…(not to mention fixing all of my grammatical errors)…but to me it’s still a pretty big deal. Basically because I never got past January 13th in my diaries that I swore I’d write in every day on December 31st.
Much like the fact that this is our 300th post, this cake is a BIG deal. I mean literally. Check it out. It’s HUGE. It’s a five-tier Read More
Vintage and Cake’s Vintage Cupcakes
We all have our favorites, yes? And one of my very favorite bloggers and bakers is Julie Cliff from Vintage and Cake in Derby, England. Julie runs a wonderful little business that I MUST visit the very next time I travel to England – she hires out vintage china for special occasions, runs cupcake workshops (hello! yes? cupcake workshops?), and makes luscious-looking cakes that I can practically smell from across the ocean. Everything that I see on her blog is Read More
Bride and Groom Wedding Cupcakes
There is something about fondant that just makes everything so beautiful. Don’t you agree? For years bakers have been turning out gorgeous wedding cake after wedding cake. They have been able to do such a thing because of one concrete-like material: fondant. It might not be the tastiest thing in the world…but it sure is pretty.
Now bakers are starting to take it to the next level and produce fondant covered cupcakes. Like these red velvet ones that the Read More
Fondant or Fon-don’t
To fondant or to fon-don’t. That is indeed the question.
I was originally going to call this post Fon-do or Fon-don’t: The Truth about Fondant, but then all I could think about was dipping various things in chocolate…or cheese. Or both. So I switched it. I think it’s much more socially acceptable Read More
Stunning Pink Wedding Cake
Did you ever see a wedding cake, and think, “Stop. This is the one. The rest of the cakes can just go home.”
This is such a cake.
I spied this cake in a beautiful photojournal of a Southern California wedding, held at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, California. The wedding and reception were both held Read More
Classic White Wedding Cake with Chocolate Scrollwork
Here is something I love. Taking a classic cake and giving it a little bit of pizazz! I love how this cake is a simple four tiered round cake with a gorgeous slate blue sash around the base of each tier. Beautiful and classic yes?
Oh wait: let’s throw on a gorgeous dark brown (I’m assuming chocolate which… Read More
‘Favorite Friends’ Floral Square Cake
We have had so many days in a row of classic and traditional and stately, and well, regal. I thought we could use a foil to all of that. And so, I’m pleased to share this charming cake with you on the day after The Big Wedding.
This adorable cake features edible renditions of stuffed and furry friends – Cran and Ludwig – that played a role in the happy couple’s special day. But while the adorable figures perched atop the cake, decorated in beautiful and vivid pearlized hues, are striking, it was the other trim and the configuration that really Read More
