Summer In Bloom Wedding Cake
Today, it was time.
It was time for a vibrant, lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer wedding cake.
Doesn’t this lovely creation just capture the mood of summer perfectly? Whiling away the days, bees buzzing, everything blooming to the hilt, green everywhere. I picture an outdoor ceremony with lots of floppy hats and sundresses. The bride might even have left her shades on.
And isn’t that the neat thing about cakes? Sometimes, you can look at them, and just know the feel of the wedding. I love when Read More
Eyelet and Pearl Peach Wedding Cake
Peach eyelet and pearls make this wedding cake a summer stunner! And the monogram seals the deal.
Jenniffer White from Cup a Dee Cakes worked with this couple to create a one-of-a-kind cake. They knew they wanted to use peach and eyelet in the overall design, and Jennifer used a special fondant that would hold up to the cutouts. The rest of the cake is iced in flawless buttercream, and is trimmed with pearls and the couples’ monogram.
There are so many beautiful Read More
Teal Sea Shell Wedding Cake for a Key West Destination Wedding
A few weeks back, my aunt, uncle, and their family headed to Key West for some fabulous R&R. Have you been to Key West? If not, put it on your list. Right now. No, I’m serious. Go get a pen.
While they were there over Memorial Day weekend, the inn where they stayed happened to be the location of a Read More
Dogwood Wedding Cake
I know, I know. The angle and lighting are a little funky on this one. But it’s sooooo still worth posting.
I love dogwood blossoms. We awaited with such joy the blooming of the dogwoods back home, when we knew spring was finally on its way. And this cake features beautiful versions of the lovely flower, used sparingly and asymmetrically on the various layers.
And speaking of the layers, I love a cake that has alternating shapes. This one features both squares and rounds, and the second layer from the top is both square AND Read More
Gingham and Flower Wedding Cake
Gingham is darling anyway, but gingham on a cake? Yes, please!
The brainchild of Bijoux Doux in New York City, this cake is whimsical, joie de vivre-y, and makes me want to wear a party dress and drink lemonade. In other words, it’s summer perfection.
The double-height layers – an effect that we just love around here – are covered with what appear to be made with a silkscreen transfer on sheets of chocolate, but it could be fondant with an amazingly sharp edge. The muted Read More
Naked Wedding Cake, Part Trois
Somehow, saying the number in French makes the word “naked” ever so much more classy, yes?
I am feelin’ summer today, y’all! And if summer isn’t about no fuss, no muss, and HOT, and get-out-of-the-kitchen (or pastry shop) and enjoy your guests, then I don’t know what is. And this simple cake of sponge, layered with buttercream and topped with berries and Read More
Autumn Leaves and Chocolate Swirls Wedding Cake
Yes, I’m aware that we both have Spring Fever, and the mention of autumn (and the thought of approaching chilly weather) might make your moan. Still, I figure that a couple of you reading this blog may actually be planning – or at the very least, dreaming – of an autumn wedding. And so, it seems fitting, yes?
The gumpaste leaves on this three-tiered, ever-so-slightly off white cake, are the perfect touch of warmth, and the freehand chocolate swirls give a wonderful sense of motion to the whole thing. Can’t you just picture Read More
Green Leaves Wedding Cake
Disclaimer: I am not Irish. However, it’s that time of year when green is everywhere, and it should be here, too.
So, if you aren’t Irish either, then we’ll take this opportunity to spring forward, and dream of the green things that are about to burst forth 
This cake, which was featured on TheKnot.com, is lovely, isn’t it? A simple, flawless white background, with sugarpaste leaves and Read More
Crystal and Pink White Snowflake Cake
I know that my friends and family in other parts of the country are rrrreeeealllyy super hoping that winter spread its last hurrah recently, when the Facebook posts about falling snow were coming thick and furious. So to bid adieu (hopefully) to the white stuff, here’s a reminder of all that is enchanting and sparkly about it.
There’s just something about a snowflake cake!
When I saw this gorgeousness from Rachael Teufel and Company at Intricate Icings, I knew I had to feature it. The cake was the perfect centerpiece for a breathtaking New Year’s Eve wedding in Colorado. And those aren’t Read More
Beach Wedding Cake
Isn’t this always how it goes.
In August I was tired of sweat behind my knees 14 hours a day and ready for the cool breeze of fall. By the time November rolled around I was ready for Thanksgiving to be finished so that I could kick off the Christmas season. Now that it’s January and the days. seem. to. take. forever. I can’t wait until it’s beach season.
Yes, I did skip right over spring because that’s what South Carolina does. 50 degrees and gloomy one day…75 and gorgeous the next.
Here it is in January. MLK Holiday has passed and minus a teacher work day or two I am in that awful Jan/Feb/March OH MY Read More
