Royal Icing Monogram Wedding Cake
I am shopping for monogrammed stationery; ergo, I am naming this Monogrammed Wedding Cake Week. I know…it's already Wednesday. But there's time to catch up.
I absolutely adore this idea, especially for a small wedding. But even if your gathering is large-ish, what a beautiful cake! And so much prettier than a Read More
Red Stripe Wedding Cake with Bride and Groom Names
Remember when I wanted preppy yesterday? Well, I wanted it today, too, but I thought it would be fun to go in search of horizontal lines instead of vertical ones.
I adore the simplicity of the this cake. And it's really no shock that it's simple, since it's featured on Real Simple Magazine's website! Plain white fondant on tall tiers, trimmed with a border of thin red and white striped ribbon. The cake's only Read More
What’s Your Cake Style?
Once upon a time, two pastry chefs fell in love, decided to get married, and opted to spend more on the cake than her dress. (See that cake over there? Made by the wonderful Sherri Meyers of The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach? She made my cake, too. Alas. Before the days of great digital photography.)
True story. I know, because I was there.
What's my point, you ask? Well, for some couples, a wedding cake is just another detail to cross off the mile-long to do list. For these folks, having Aunt Bessie bake her famous sheet cake for free, or heading down to the local supermarket…well, that's fine. (And Aunt Bessie may be Read More
Pearl Encrusted Wedding Cake with Monogram
Oh. My. Pearls.
On the heels of Julia Child’s 100th birthday last week, I’ve been in love all over again with pearls. They are ALWAYS my first choice, the thing I gravitate towards in the case. And so, it should come as NO surprise that I loved the cake the instant I saw it.
It’s just so perfect. And there’s something about that many sugar pearls on a cake that seems so, well, elegantly decadent. That Jenniffer from Cup a Dee Cakes paired the pearls with a Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 13, 2012
Happy Mother’s Day! And if you aren’t a mother, then feel free to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day!
I don’t know what today will hold – I’m heartily hoping for a little pampering, quiet, and possibly a nap – but I’m thankful for my babies, and I’m thankful that I still have my mom with me. I also have a life filled with so many dear sweet women and girlfriends who have been mentors and confidantes. So I’m glad to share this day with them as well.
The busy wedding season is Read More

Orange Flower and Monogram Wedding Cake
I needed some serious pretty this morning, y’all. It might be time for a vacation 
Isn’t this cake incredible? I know…once again, I’m season-bending. BUT – I still justify this by saying that if you are looking at A Wedding Cake Blog right now, and are planning a wedding, it’s probably not for next week, right? So it only makes sense to show you cakes now and then a couple of seasons hence.
I love the vibrant color here, and the Read More
Pink and Brown Square Wedding Cake with Scrolls
It’s the simple touches that really set apart good from fantastic, right? Anna Hightower from Central Florida’s Anna Cakes totally gets that.
I saw this cake for the first time on Twitter, when Anna sent me a pic. I immediately fell in love! I mean, pink and brown are such a fantastic color combo anyway, but then I took in the different design elements – the perfectly piped scrolls, the top layer that was round for whimsy, the brooch and the picture-perfect initial cake topper – they all came together to make a beautiful cake. But truly, what sets it apart for me is the Read More
Fondant and Applique White on White Square Monogram Wedding Cake
I love when I find a classic technique or concept, with a totally unique twist.
It’s well documented that, even if bakers get sick and tired of white-on-white-on-white cakes, I am a big fan of them. I just think a cake that doesn’t use a lot of fireworks, or bells and whistles, but just stands there, with dignity, in white simplicity, is perfection. I think few cakes showcase a cake artist’s talent and creativity better than what they do with a white on white palette.
This fondant cake is a beauty. While I’d be extra bowled over if those white designs were hand-piped – they appear to be Read More
Pink Rose Petal Wedding Cake
Aren’t rose petals pretty? We see them scattered on aisle cloths or lawns. Sometimes they’re strewn across the cake table (like they are here.) But this baker goes a step further and actually puts them on the cake.
The simplicity of the vision is simple, and perfectly symmetrical, which lends a sense of calm and order to this lovely cake. Pink roses crown the cake, and petals rest at each corner of the five graduated square layers, which are decorated meticulously with buttercream, royal icing swags, and classic white Read More
Sage Green and White Wedding Cake with Monogram
There are four reasons that I love LOVE this cake.
You had me at sage green. This is my favorite shade of the verdant color, hands down. It’s such a calm, cool shade of green, that I picked it as one of my primary paint colors in my home. After living with it for seven years, I’m still not tired of it.
Oh monograms, how I adore thee. You can barely make it out from this photo, but there, centered in the front of the second tier from the top is a script, white on white monogram. Oh, nothing says perfection and “completely complete” to me like a monogram does. And that it’s Read More
