Snowflake Cake
We loves us some Kara Buntin of A Cake to Remember around here. Yes. We do. So, is it any surprise that I choose to wave goodbye to 2011 with one of her cakes? Probably not.
I am a firm believer in the Twelve Days of Christmas, y’all. In our home, Christmas isn’t over until the Wise Men have come and gone on January 6 (that’s the Epiphany, by the way, in case you are wondering what in the world I’m talking about.) Only then does the tree come down, and all the pretty decorations are tucked lovingly away til next December.
But, even I realize Read More

Christmas Mini Cakes
I know I’ve said this before..but if cake pops are in 2011 what cupcakes were in 2010..then consider mini cakes the new cake pop which are the new cupcake.
Can you follow that logic? Probably not.
But just wait til you see the mini cake beauties I have lined up to bring in 2012. Unfortunately, none of them were Christmas-themed. That is, until I found this one. This Christmas mini Read More
Bare Branch Wedding Cake
We’re gearing up – or maybe you’re already in full throttle – for the spectacularity that is the Winter Holiday Season – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU! But do you remember the old days? The days when Christmas didn’t start five minutes after you pushed back from your Thanksgiving seconds? Or – shudder – right after the Labor Day picnic?
Am I showing my age? Sigh.
Well…all of that to say that I do remember such a time…a time when you thought…hmm…it’s not fall, it’s not Christmas…it…just…is. No pretty leaves, no super crazy snow. Just beautiful bare Read More
Dark Red Roses Cake
Well, by now you know that we are all about the seasons around here. But sometimes it’s nice to see an expression of seasons in a way that isn’t so typical. Take autumn, for instance. You think autumn wedding cake, your mind automatically goes to colored leaves. But here’s another take on the colors of fall: rich red roses.
It was love at first sight when I saw this cake. The simple buttercream finish is trimmed with a wide, black ribbon, elegant scrollwork, and the most beautiful deep red roses. For an interesting contrast, the roses are paired with orchids. You would never think, “I know, I’ll put orchids and roses Read More
Chocolate Fondant and Autumn Tree Wedding Cake
Isn’t this pretty? So nice and…autumn-y. I think Christen will be really impressed with me for posting this one. What do y’all think?
This beautiful cake, made by Slice Cake Studio in Longmont, CO, was inspired by the couple’s wedding invitation! I would really like to see that stationary personally, because this is stunning and I think it just looks, well…yummy.
Three layers, perfectly uniform in height…the bottom and top covered with a rich, chocolate-brown fondant. And sandwiched Read More
