Greetings, friends and fans of the lovely!

Something truly tragic happened this week. Yes. The silk string on my pearls frayed and now I am pearl-less until I get them fixed.

No, I’m serious.

So, in determining what to do about this predicament, I mean, what DOES a girl do? Have a strand for everyday of the week so that they don’t wear out? Where costume pearls or freshwater jobbies for everyday-around-the-house wear? Because I am totally serious when I say I wear them Read More

Purple Ribbon Wedding Cake with Monogram

My love of monograms is well documented, as is my love of white on white cakes. And actually, come to think of it, so is my love of Renay Zamora and Sweet Face Cakes.

But I never tire of any of these elements, or of Renay and her beautiful work.

Renay tells me a lovely story about this cake. She and the mother of the bride had a rather random connection. They had served on their church’s worship team, but hadn’t seen each other in years; however, they recognized one another immediately when they met at Read More

Happy New Year, Everyone!

Yes, I know that technically, I’m a full week behind. And I know that technically, today is the Epiphany, and the end of Christmas, and not the New Year. But is anyone else having a hard time cranking up the old machine again, getting on the horse? I blame Read More

We have to end Ruffle Week 2011 with a bang…I believe that is cake is the cake to do just that.

I’m not sure there is anything more “Fall 2011″ than Ombre & Ruffles. When you combine them, wonderful, wonderful things happen. Like this cake from Maggie Austin Cakes. (If you’d like to know about Maggie Austin Cakes – and trust me, you do – check out this week’s Round-Up for a terrific article about the artist.)

In case you have no idea what I am talking about, ombre is basically taking the same shades of one color and having the colors scale from light to dark. We’ve talked about it a time or two here. I have 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

Traditional Cake with Lenox Cinderella Topper

Let’s take a break from the nontraditional cheese cakes of recent times and go back to an old school classic wedding cake. This is a round, four tiered cake with a cream colored butter cream icing. The deep purple ribbon around the base gives it a pop of color and the three purple and white roses add a splash of sophistication.

My favorite part of this cake is the adorable Read More

Oh, but what a week it has been! Graduations and teacher’s gifts and vacation planning oh my! I don’t know if your spring has been break neck speed like ours has been, but I am certainly glad for a long holiday weekend to slow the heck down and take in some family time. Out to dinner, playing by the pool, and off to the beach – good times Read More
