Fall Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers
I love all the colors of fall – deep red, oranges, and yellow make everything prettier this time of year.
And incorporating those colors into your fall wedding includes using them on a lovely and elegant fall-inspired wedding cake.
Just like today’s featured cake. Read More
Naked Wedding Cake with Fresh Flowers
Let’s face it – it’s hot outside. And while I’m normally a fan of LOTS of icing on wedding cakes, in the summer I think the “naked” wedding cake trend is perfect.
And today’s featured cake is soooo pretty it doesn’t need much icing at all.
This four-tier cake features cakes of different flavors – looks like chocolate and vanilla – with gorgeous white icing between the layers. Read More
Springtime Wedding Cake with Roses
Now that we’re officially in the midst of all things spring, it seems like a good time to showcase a classic floral wedding cake.
Today’s cake is perfect for your spring wedding – it is elegant and classic and features a cascade of fresh roses and greenery. Read More
Purple Wedding Cake with Flowers
Purple is my absolute favorite color. It’s the color of royalty and it’s my birthstone.
And had I given it much thought, I would have added purple to my wedding color scheme all those years ago. Like, maybe by having a purple wedding cake.
Just like today’s featured cake.
This lovely, muted purple cake is stunning. Read More
Naked Bundt Cake with Flowers
Ah, bundt cakes. The ubiquitous cake of the 1950s and 1960s.
They’re so retro that they’re cool again – just ask my mom. She loves to bake bundt cakes for family birthdays, complete with homemade chocolate drizzle.
Imagine having a bundt cake as your wedding cake – now that would be cool. Plus, they’re basically the original “naked” cake, with only a drizzle of frosting. Read More
Floral Wedding Cake
I’m a big fan of fresh flowers on wedding cakes.
My own wedding cake was adorned with bunches of Black Magic roses and those dark red blooms made the white cake really pop!
Today cake goes floral in a really big way!
The three tier cake is almost taken over by bright flowers, but oddly enough it works without being “too much.” Read More
White Cake with Fresh White Flowers
I love an over-the-top, non-traditional wedding cake just as much as the next non-traditionalist. But I also love simple wedding cakes that are both elegant and gorgeous.
Take today’s wedding cake as an example.
There isn’t a lot going on with the cake but that’s what makes it special. The ‘wow’ factor is in the cake’s simplicity.
A stark white tiered cake topped with fresh white blooms. It’s simple and beautiful and makes a statement by not being over-the-top. Read More
Summer Wedding Cake
Strangely enough (or maybe not so strangely considering my love for all things warm and tropical) I adore flamingos.
Yes, they’re odd looking – tall, pink birds – but they make me think of warm climates like Florida. Which makes me think about summer.
So it seems only fitting that I am in love with this summer-themed cake, made complete with the addition of adorable flamingos. Read More
Simple Wedding Cake with Roses
Naked wedding cakes are one of those wedding cake trends that I’m not sure I can fully support.
I mean, c’mon. These cakes are seriously lacking in one very important ingredient – FROSTING! But, as the saying goes, it’s what in the inside that counts.
And if you’re going to go with a naked wedding cake for your reception just make sure it has a lot of icing inside. Then I’ll be OK with it. Read More
One-Tier Metallic Wedding Cake
It’s been established that I’m totally in love with the sprinkle wedding cake theme right now.
Which is really kind of weird because in reality I don’t like sprinkles on cake or cookies (or ice cream). But I love how they look on a wedding cake.
I think it has to do with the “whimsical factor” that sprinkles add to a wedding cake. Because we all know how boring some wedding cake can be. Read More
