Sage, Chocolate Brown, and Cream Color Cupcake Heaven
I think I have expressed once, or twice…or perhaps even three times my love for cupcakes. Apparently, this cupcake combo comes with a back story. The cupcake stand was lost en route to the wedding venue so the baker improvised and turned wine glasses upside down and placed a plate on top of them. To tell you the truth..I kind of think it’s classy.
The best part..please listen to the flavors of these bad boys: Read More
Brown and Blue Wedding Cake
I remember the first time I saw the brown and blue color combination thrown together on the same palette. It was 2005…a Wednesday. It was raining. I worked in a small retail store, and Vera Bradley had just put out her new patterns for fall. Right then and there I fell in love with the illustrious Java Blue. (Which by the way, went on to be one of Vera Bradley’s all time best sellers. Apparently I wasn’t the only sorority girl who fell in love with the combo.)
The pattern has long since been retired but the colors have been paired together on everything imaginable, Read More
All wrapped up in bows..
I love presents. I think most women do, yes?
What do I love more than presents? Edible presents! Maybe that was not then intended inspiration for this cake..but I think it suits it perfectly! This is a traditional three tiered round cake. The layers alternate between gorgeous fondant stripes and polka dots. On top is a gorgeous bow that would make Martha and all her pretty bow making glory envious. Seriously..I am the girl who has to buy pre-made bows at Christmas..because a). Who has time to make their own bows? and b). Even if I tried they’d never look that good. So the fact that this bow is made out of fondant..well that knocks my socks right off my feet! Polka dots are always such a tricky decoration to master as well. The spacing between this dots is perfect..this calls for a baker to have a very steady hand!
This cake was made by Dianna Tornow of Your Kind of Cakes in Aiken, SC. I have actually been to a wedding with a Dianna Tornow cake before..they taste just as good as they look!

All You Need is Love: Heart Fondant Wedding Cake
True story: I have been to a lot of weddings. I was in a sorority, and during my four years at college I was close friends with at least 40 different girls at different times. This leads to a lot of weddings. I have seen a LOT of wedding cakes. I have seen subtle, pretty ones; gorgeous, large fondant masterpieces; and cakes that…quiet honestly…look like someone’s momma made them the night before the wedding. Those don’t look Read More

I’d rather sit home and play Scrabble.
When I was a little girl I had a best friend named Maya. She was one of those people you knew was intimidatingly intelligent just by looking at them..when she was nine. Even though she was the editor of the yearbook and the star of the school play our high school principal once had the wherewithal to tell her she wasn’t Read More
