Naked Chocolate Wedding Cake
Right now it is full-on strawberry season here in the Midwest. It’s actually a rather short season as “fruit seasons” go, but we take full advantage of it, enjoying all things strawberry for a few wonderful weeks.
And one of my favorite things has to be chocolate-covered strawberries. There’s just something so decadent about that combination.
Which is probably why I’m loving today’s cake. Read More
Wedding Cake with Fresh Berries
It’s that time of year again – time for fresh berries!
OK, maybe it’s just that time of year again in the midwest which means around here it’s all about the strawberries. And raspberries. And blackberries.
Basically right now if it has fresh berries on it, we’re going to eat it.
Which is why I am so in LOVE with this naked wedding cake! Read More
Summer Strawberry Wedding Cake
Here in the midwest it’s officially strawberry season, which is rather exciting if you’re a fan of the bright red sweet and juicy berries.
Me? I prefer mine with a big bowl of whipped cream and sans shortcake, but if someone was to offer me a slice of wedding cake adorned with strawberries I’m pretty sure I won’t turn it down.
Especially if that strawberry wedding cake looked like this beauty! Read More
Strawberry Wedding Cake
One of my favorite summertime fruits is the strawberry! They’re sweet and perfect and can be used in so many ways, even on a wedding cake!
I love strawberry shortcake and today’s naked wedding cake reminds of that sweet treat.
This wedding cake was created with pound cake (of course!) and layers of mascarpone cream and strawberries. I think it might be my new favorite spring or summer wedding cake. Read More

Strawberry Wedding Cake
As I continue to dream about warmer weather, today I’m sharing a strawberry wedding cake with you.
Of course we all know that strawberries are a summer fruit – if you’re from the northern half of the country, at least – but it’s never too early to start thinking about your summer wedding.
I love the whimsy and simple charm of this cake. It makes me happy just looking at it. Read More
St. Germain Elderflower Wedding Cake
How absolutely gorgeous is this cake? I want to be a guest at that wedding, if only to get a taste of this summertime stunner.
The cake is a three-tiered vanilla cake, which sounds delicious enough. But wait, there's more! The cake layers are soaked in St. Germain elderflower liqueur, which is apparently all the rage these days. And then, the cake is filled with strawberries and lemon.
And the simple decorations featuring Read More
Strawberry Cake
Summer is gone and Fall is here. Personally, I adore every single second of Fall. I think it’s the only season of the year I don’t get sick of. I am dying for summer and beach trips in April but by July I am sweating my baguettes off and ready for it to be over. In November I am anticipating the crisp weather and Christmas ambiance, but by the time January rolls around I am ready for green grass and capri pants. I’m fickle. What can I say.
The one thing I do miss about Spring & Summer year round is the strawberries. Oh yes. I am a strawberry girl. I could get them any day on anything. By themselves? Done. In a salad? Yum. Covered in chocolate? Yes! Please! Now!
On a cake? Yes. Mixed with buttercream? Oh my. I can’t help myself. Which is why this strawberry iced cake caught my eye. It apparently caught the eye of some teeny tiny wedding guest who couldn’t resist putting their fingers in that icing. I’m with ya’ kid. I wouldn’t be able to control myself either.
