Sand Colored Ombre Seashell Cake
Why don’t I just declare it “Beachy Monday?” Or “Summer State of Mind Day?”
I seem to gravitate toward beach-themed cakes. Because. I. Love. Them. As you well know, I make my home a little inland from the very southern east coast, and I’d be even more coastal if I had my way about it.
But this cake is simply GORG! I mean, it’s not enough that it has SEASHELLS…but it’s OMBRE TOO! And sand-colored at that. Friends joke sometimes that my signature color is khaki, so you know I’m diggin’ that background. But that’s not all there is to the adorableness…the Read More
Summer In Bloom Wedding Cake
Today, it was time.
It was time for a vibrant, lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer wedding cake.
Doesn’t this lovely creation just capture the mood of summer perfectly? Whiling away the days, bees buzzing, everything blooming to the hilt, green everywhere. I picture an outdoor ceremony with lots of floppy hats and sundresses. The bride might even have left her shades on.
And isn’t that the neat thing about cakes? Sometimes, you can look at them, and just know the feel of the wedding. I love when Read More
Eyelet and Pearl Peach Wedding Cake
Peach eyelet and pearls make this wedding cake a summer stunner! And the monogram seals the deal.
Jenniffer White from Cup a Dee Cakes worked with this couple to create a one-of-a-kind cake. They knew they wanted to use peach and eyelet in the overall design, and Jennifer used a special fondant that would hold up to the cutouts. The rest of the cake is iced in flawless buttercream, and is trimmed with pearls and the couples’ monogram.
There are so many beautiful Read More
Teal Sea Shell Wedding Cake for a Key West Destination Wedding
A few weeks back, my aunt, uncle, and their family headed to Key West for some fabulous R&R. Have you been to Key West? If not, put it on your list. Right now. No, I’m serious. Go get a pen.
While they were there over Memorial Day weekend, the inn where they stayed happened to be the location of a Read More
Gingham and Flower Wedding Cake
Gingham is darling anyway, but gingham on a cake? Yes, please!
The brainchild of Bijoux Doux in New York City, this cake is whimsical, joie de vivre-y, and makes me want to wear a party dress and drink lemonade. In other words, it’s summer perfection.
The double-height layers – an effect that we just love around here – are covered with what appear to be made with a silkscreen transfer on sheets of chocolate, but it could be fondant with an amazingly sharp edge. The muted Read More
Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Wedding Cake
Hello pink and green! Calling all sorority girls and Lilly Pulitzer fans…today’s featured cake is inspired by the designs of Lilly Pulitzer. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lilly Pulitzer think bright colors, fun beachy patterns, and all around girly-ness!
I love this cake for SO many reasons BUT we shall start with the bright colors! I love love LOVE! pink and green together (I know that trend is considered “out”…but bear with me) because the colors are so happy and vibrant…and they make me smile. And speaking of things I love…I love how the cake designer chose a different pattern for each tier. The design incorporates Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 3, 2012
Heya Hiya! How’s your weekend going? Mine is super fantabulous.
We have officially started summer here in our household (I know what the calendar says. Whatevs.) With no more schoolwork, and the beach beckoning (not to mention that fab-o hammock) it’s hard to act like it isn’t the Second Most Wonderful Time of the Year. So onto picnics and lazy days and flower picking. Yes please.
Before we wax all Read More
Naked Wedding Cake, Part Trois
Somehow, saying the number in French makes the word “naked” ever so much more classy, yes?
I am feelin’ summer today, y’all! And if summer isn’t about no fuss, no muss, and HOT, and get-out-of-the-kitchen (or pastry shop) and enjoy your guests, then I don’t know what is. And this simple cake of sponge, layered with buttercream and topped with berries and Read More
Wavy Ruffles Wedding Cake
I featured another cake by Bella Manse a few weeks ago because I thought we all needed a reminder of pretty spring colors. However, this is the one that first endeared me to cake artist and owner Renee Schlotzhauer.
I love what she has done with these wispy, wavy ruffles. I’ve never seen another cake exactly like it. The sugared strawberries add a deft touch of color to the pallette that is just delicious. The tall, slender profile is lovely, too. This would be a cake that truly, I would hate to cut…I wouldn’t be happy to wreck the surpassing gorgeousness.
Like an ethereal wedding gown, or a delicate calla lily, this beautiful Read More
Beach Wedding Cake
Isn’t this always how it goes.
In August I was tired of sweat behind my knees 14 hours a day and ready for the cool breeze of fall. By the time November rolled around I was ready for Thanksgiving to be finished so that I could kick off the Christmas season. Now that it’s January and the days. seem. to. take. forever. I can’t wait until it’s beach season.
Yes, I did skip right over spring because that’s what South Carolina does. 50 degrees and gloomy one day…75 and gorgeous the next.
Here it is in January. MLK Holiday has passed and minus a teacher work day or two I am in that awful Jan/Feb/March OH MY Read More
