Wedding Cake with Hand-Piped Roses
I am loving this pretty pink cake with hand-piped red roses. It’s so pretty and elegant.
And, believe it or not, this gorgeous and somewhat abstract wedding cake can be a DIY project.
That’s right! If you – or someone in your wedding party – is feeling particularly ambitious, this is a cake that you can create by following a few simple instructions.
I love this cake for a couple of reasons. Read More
Wedding Cake with Crystallized Flowers
Everything is coming up roses (and violets, pansies, lavender, and cornflowers) with this stunning wedding cake!
I absolutely love this cake because it elegantly screams ‘spring!’ and because those are real flowers that have been crystallized with sugar.
The three-tier cake is frosted with buttercream icing that was piped on to resemble a basket weave – so the cake actually looks like baskets full of fresh flowers. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake with Sugar Flowers
Until recently I never would have considered chocolate frosting on a wedding cake.
Don’t get me wrong – I love chocolate – but I always thought wedding cakes “had to” be frosted with white icing of some kind whether it’s fondant or buttercream.
Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve changed my mind and if I had to do my wedding cake over, it would be all chocolate.
As today’s cake proves, a wedding cake with chocolate icing can be beautiful and elegant and downright stunning. Read More
Wedding Cake with Sugar Flowers
Spring is in the air!
Yes, it’s true! The first day of spring is this tomorrow and therefore I’m focusing on all things pretty and floral and springy.
Just like this beautiful wedding cake adorned with balls of flowers.
This gorgeous contemporary wedding cake – called the ‘Marlborough’ – is another incredible creation from our friends at Hockleys Cakes in the United Kingdom.
I am in love with this cake. It’s so pretty and delicate and just downright gorgeous that I can’t imagine wanting to cut into it, no matter how delicious it is! Read More
Wedding Cake with Cascading Flowers
As we’re heading into the week of celebrating all things love and Valentine’s Day, I wanted to share a cake with you that was so romantic it would make you swoon on the spot.
I’m pretty sure this is the cake.
This gorgeous four-tier creation is from Hockleys Cakes in the United Kingdom and they call it the “Blenheim Cake.”
This cake is all about romance and flowers and love, and I adore everything about it.
I love the square tiers on this cake – I’m a big fan of non-traditional shapes when it comes to wedding cakes. (This should come as no surprise, since my wedding cake featured eight heart-shaped tiers!) I think the square tiers give it a nice, modern contemporary feel.
The gorgeous and simple white icing with the pearls around each tier give this cake a dramatic and modern look.
But what I love most is the cascade of flowers down the side of the cake. The bride wanted the flowers to replicate her bouquet – which is a genius idea in my book! Hockleys created these flowers with hand crafted white, pink, and violet sugar roses and other dainty buds.
It’s incredibly romantic, don’t you think?
A big thanks to Hockleys Cakes for sharing this creation with us!

Primrose Wedding Cake
The weather outside might be frightful, but this cake is so delightful.
Yes, we might have just “celebrated” the first full day of winter, but that just means that we have a mere 86 days until the first day of spring, so I think right now is the perfect time to start daydreaming about lovely springy flowers.
And so, I give you the primrose wedding cake.
This gorgeous four-tier cake looks like it has a garden of flowers blooming around each tier. Read More
Daisy Wedding Cake
I have mentioned my love of daisies before, and since we're in the middle of the week I thought I'd share a cheery and happy daisy wedding cake again.
You can't look at daisies and not feel happy inside, so they're really a perfect flower to feature on a wedding cake. Everyone at a wedding is already smiling from ear to ear, so why not keep the happy theme going with your cake? Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sugar Peony Cake Topper
Sometimes in January, you just need a little color, yes? A reminder that spring will come again, and fun summer times will be on her heels.
I adore peonies. And from the looks of this Pink Peony Wedding Cake, this lovely White Wedding Cake with a big, flouncy pink peonies, and this Thai-inspired Wedding Cake with a gold-tinged peony, cake artists quite agree.
But today’s Read More
Stephanotis Nosegay Cake Topper
My senior year in high school, the sweetest boy took me to prom. I wasn’t big on corsages, especially those wrist-y kind that were so popular at the time. So I asked for a nosegay, a little bouquet that I could carry. He obliged with the most adorable little cluster of pink tea roses, surrounded by baby’s breath and variegated leaves and pink ribbon. Sigh. And wow. I can super still remember that 
So nosegays have always had a little place in my heart. My girls carried nosegays instead of full bouquets for my wedding, in fact (Nikko blue hydrangeas in that instance.) There’s just something so classic about their Read More
