simple wedding cakes
Roses Wedding Cake
I debated using this cake – I’ve had it in my folder for a while – because it’s a little old school (Old School here having the mean of 2007.) And you know what? I’m gonna do it. ‘Cause it’s not getting any younger, and it’s well done.
What do I like about this one? It’s neatness. Simple cakes can go horribly wrong. Fast. Fondant can bubble, buttercream can look not smooth enough, edges can be cockeyed. But this cake is perfect. Square, the piped dotted Read More
Sparklers Wedding Cake
Happy Fourth of July, y’all!
As I head out to celebrate freedom, family, and summer, I wanted to leave you with this stunning photo that I found on Pinterest, courtesy of Style Me Pretty. What a beautiful cake! All white, and Read More
White Monogrammed Cake With Single Initial
It’s well documented: I love white wedding cakes, and I love monograms.
I think it takes a special baker to make something truly original out of the sea of white wedding cakes that I view everyday. So when I spy something out of the norm, I really like to share it with you.
This is so pretty, don’t you think? In an austere, regal, slightly stand offish and reserved kinda way. This cake doesn’t associate with the other cakes. This lovely creation is reserved for Read More
Wedding Bells Wedding Cake
We still say that wedding bells are ringing…but when did you actually last hear some?
Well, even if churches don’t still come with nifty bell towers (and lots of people don’t even get married in churches these days), it’s still a quaint thought. And this cake celebrates that notion bee-autifully.
Two square tiers, flawlessly covered in white fondant and trimmed with an edge of tiny white dots are then embellished with bells, cut out from more fondant, painted with edible gold dust, and Read More
Yellow Ombre Buttercream Wedding Cake
Are you a fan of ombre? I am. I love this look on walls, papers, dresses…and, of course, ombre wedding cakes.
This yellow ombre cake is one of the prettiest examples of the technique I’ve seen. It’s really subtle, with just a kiss of color toward the bottom, for the couple who really like the idea of a white cake, but want just a tiny touch of color. The darling cake topper, consisting of a compact nosegay of yellow roses and other flowers, perfectly punctuates the look.
Beyond the ombre, aren’t the buttercream ribbons that adorn the cake fantastic? Look closely, and you’ll see that the effect Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for March 18, 2012
Oh, but we have hit Spring Fever with a vengeance in my household.
We want to go to the beach! And the pool! Because in Florida, Spring Fever looks a lot like, you know, summer. But there have been stock car races and Bike Weeks and crazy parties for Irish folk to get through…before the Spring Breakers descend. And we are eager to join them. Like, next week.
So, we are introducing a slightly different format for our Let Them Eat Cake blog round-up, starting this week. We’ll be sharing with you what we’ve been up to all week (in case you missed it…it’s one stop 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
Blue and Yellow Cake
I love fresh color combinations and this blue and yellow is one of them.
Blue and yellow is a combo that can go drastically wrong though. At times if the blue is too dark or the yellow is too gold it can come off a bit “sports fan”. Unless, you are specifically having those colors at your wedding because you are indeed the worlds biggest fan of whatever team you love..well then. True story, I once went to a wedding of a friend who was such a big Clemson fan that she had her wedding in purple and orange. We don’t have much here in South Carolina but we love our college football.
Back to blue and yellow..particularly this blue and yellow. I love. The blue is just light enough and the yellow is bright and sunshiny. It makes me thing of Spring. I love the yellow roses too. I know they traditionally mean friendship..but who cares..they are so fun! What do you think? Do you love blue and yellow? Do you know someone who had a sports team themed wedding? Was it well done or over the top tacky?
White Wedding Cake with Pink Peonies
Blame it on the heat, or possibly overstimulation. But lately, I’ve been craving posts about white wedding cakes.
Color is fun, color is fab, and color will probably be the star of my next post. But the other day, as I was writing a guest post for another loverly blog (more about that later!), I began to search our catalog of cakes for a white cake. And I couldn’t find one.
Now, there’s a lot of talk out there about “boring white wedding cakes.” I suppose that, if you’re a baker and you’re stuck making white cake after white cake, that would get a little, you know, mind-numbing. But sometimes, Read More
Frosted Fruit Wedding Cake
Let’s take a trip back in time, shall we? Back to a quaint time, called…the nineties. Like, the 1990s.
I love Martha Stewart. Have I mentioned that? At least, I love her ideas, and how she transformed gracious, beautiful living into something everyone wanted to embrace. And one of my very favorite ideas that I gleaned from Martha was the use of fruit or flowers to embellish and garnish cakes.
Now, I realize she didn’t invent the practice, but I believe she certainly went a long way Read More
