Modern Stenciled Wedding Cake
Sometimes when I'm looking for wedding cakes it's all flowers and embellishments. But every now and then I find a cake where simplicity is what makes it gorgeous.
This is one of those cakes.
It's your basic, run-of-the-mill five tier white cake. And on its own that would be a stunning cake and you could add some fresh flowers to make it really pop. And you'd have a pretty but basic wedding cake.
I love this cake for the simple fact that it goes beyond the flowers with a brightly hued glaze in between each layer. Read More

As it is, they were both rejected on national television and are now co-hosts of HGTV's home gardening show, Going Yard. And the happy couple was married on May 5, 2012. Read More

Yellow and Blush Wedding Cake with Rose Petals
I think rose petals are so beautiful. Maybe it’s old fashioned of me, but they’re so ruffly, and dainty. They smell good and even feel good, with their soft, matte-velvet texture.
I think this cake is just so pretty, don’t you? It mimics that beautiful yellow-meets-blush look that you can only find on roses. At first, I thought the embellishment around that bottom tier was Read More
Charlotte Wedding Cake
