Sand Colored Ombre Seashell Cake

sand color ombre seashell cake

Why don’t I just declare it “Beachy Monday?” Or “Summer State of Mind Day?”

I seem to gravitate toward beach-themed cakes. Because. I. Love. Them. As you well know, I make my home a little inland from the very southern east coast, and I’d be even more coastal if I had my way about it.

But this cake is simply GORG! I mean, it’s not enough that it has SEASHELLS…but it’s OMBRE TOO! And sand-colored at that. Friends joke sometimes that my signature color is khaki, so you know I’m diggin’ that background. But that’s not all there is to the adorableness…the Read More

White on white tea wedding cake

Hey, Everyone!

It has been a fun week of visiting and preparing, as we get ready to welcome a dear friend for a visit. But even though the week has involved a LOT of cleaning (what is it about a pending visit that makes all the dirt that you blissfully pass for days POP right out at you??) there have been liberal trips to the beach to break it up a bit. Add in dear times with family and fun times with girlfriends, and it has been one terrific week!

So let’s take just a quick look around this week to see what’s going on in the world of Sweet and Pretty. We’ll be back to our regular Read More

Ombre Sugar Hearts Cake

But in the midst of all the crazy that opening a business entails, Erica still finds time to be, you know, inspired, which just floors me.  And she always seems to find inspiration from things mere mortals Read More

Hola, Friends!

What finds you this January day?  I’m in a cold, albeit sunny, locale, wondering if I’m ever going to get around to making New Year’s Resolutions, while the rest of the world is busy breaking them.  What about you?  How are yours going?

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round Up for September 18, 2011

Birch Tree Wedding Cake

Pardon me while I turn down the a/c so I can bake some pumpkin muffins.

Anyone else in a rush for fall to feel like, you know, fall?  Here in the extreme Southeast, we’ve learned to take our fall cues from things other than the rustle of leaves and the cooling of temperatures.  How do I know it’s fall?  Well…lovebugs come back for round two. (Or is it round three?)  Pumpkin patches start to pop up (and we have our pictures taken in folksy settings in our tanks and shorts and flip flops.)  It’s not as hot…in the evening.  Meaning that it dips below, you know, eighty.

So in this weird time, where the magazines are Read More
