Pink Rose Petal Wedding Cake

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

All White Roses Wedding Cake

white roses wedding cake

I know.  Not the most cutting edge cake I’ve ever featured.  But really.  Look at it.  It’s beautiful.

There is something so wonderful about simplicity.  A single color.  A motif repeated over and over.  Color carried through various design elements.

I guarantee you that many people overlooked just how pretty this cake was.  “Seen one white cake, seen ’em all.”  But the artist really paid attention here.  See how the size of the sugarpaste roses gets slightly larger with each layer?  And notice that Read More

We’ve seen hand painted wedding cakes.  And we’ve seen roses wedding cakes.  But we’ve never seen someone put the two together.  The beautifully talented and oh-so original Victoria Made has once again set our hearts aflutter.

We love the simplicity Read More

Red and White Roses Cake

Red and White Roses Wedding Cake

Happy Valentine’s Day, Everyone!

Are you counting how many times I wish you that?  I hope not.

Well, I mean, I can’t help it.  It’s the month of looovveee.  And thank goodness for it, since this is kind of a slow wedding time 😉

I had to show you this one.  I love the simplicity of it, with the breathtaking, full-blown, real roses trimming the cake.  Red roses are so sultry, don’t you think?  Almost daring you to gasp at their brazenness.  But here, they are Read More

In last week’s round up, I featured a link to Boho Weddings, a fun UK wedding blog that celebrates unique and unusual wedding details.  I was so excited to see one of my favorite cakeries, Cakes by Beth, featured in one of their posts!

Sage Green and White Wedding Cake with Monogram

Sage and White Wedding Cake

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

Grand Red and Black Wedding Cake

Black, red and white wedding cake

The cake I’m featuring today demands your attention.

This is no shy, shrinking violet of a wedding cake.  No demure, “Oh, look how sweet and innocent I am.  Really, just a place in the corner for me.”  No sirree bobby.  This cake declares itself the grande dame of wedding cakes, and expects you to perk up and notice – and use your best posture – when you walk into the reception.

Or is it just me?  You know, attributing personalities to cakes?

At any rate, this cake by Shawna of Flourish Cakes  (follow her on Twitter here) in Courtice, Ontario, is the kind of cake that is truly a centerpiece Read More
