Classic White Wedding Cake with Traditional Bride and Groom Cake Topper
I’m feeling a little — okay, a whole lot — classic today. And so my cake choice reflects that.
I love the elegant simplicity of the white buttercream wedding cake that’s trimmed with roses and topped with an uber traditional bride and groom. It would seem that the wedding was an affair with lots of “glitzy ambiance” so this cake struck the balance between the indulgence and the simple. And when you go with the classics, you don’t really need birds flying around the top or fireworks shooting off the sides, do you?
At the end of the day, after Read More
For the Guys: Groom’s Cake in Perspective
I liked something about this picture. I think I liked the plainness of it.
We see so many different approaches ’round here to wedding and groom’s cakes. Sometimes, it seems like groom’s cakes are Read More
Cameo Wedding Cake with Fondant Pearls and Lace
Some cakes are just so gorgeous they take your breath away. For me this is one of those cakes.
I love love love the way Kara Buntin, of A Cake to Remember used a different design on each tier…it emphasizes the vintage feel of the cake. The lace on the bottom tier was made from a fondant press. And 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
Sweet and Simple White Buttercream Cake
Perhaps I can be a bit predictable, but a simple round white cake really gets me excited. Especially when the baker chooses to do just a little tiny something to send the cake over the edge. Just like this one. Sure it looks like a simple white cake with a light cream ribbon around each tier. My favorite part is the textured buttercream frosting. First Read More

Big Huge Harrod’s Cake
Oh hi, guess what? It’s our 300th post! No big deal right?
Big deal to me! Granted I know I haven’t written all 300 of them myself…we’ve got to give a big shout out to Brooke who takes the weekend shift and creates a great round up…(not to mention fixing all of my grammatical errors)…but to me it’s still a pretty big deal. Basically because I never got past January 13th in my diaries that I swore I’d write in every day on December 31st.
Much like the fact that this is our 300th post, this cake is a BIG deal. I mean literally. Check it out. It’s HUGE. It’s a five-tier Read More
Lattice Buttercream Wedding Cake with Mickey and Minnie Cake Topper
Today on the blog, we’re getting an extra dose of adorable. And moreover, we’re seeing adorable done right, which is even better.
Check out this absolutely precious cake. This four-tiered beauty was the star of the show at Melissa and Heath’s wedding, which took place in 2006. The couple had never been to Disney before going together while they were dating…and they were instantly hooked on the magic. They even considered getting married at Walt Disney World, but opted for a hometown wedding, and a cake that served as an homage to their favorite vacay Read More
Fondant or Fon-don’t
To fondant or to fon-don’t. That is indeed the question.
I was originally going to call this post Fon-do or Fon-don’t: The Truth about Fondant, but then all I could think about was dipping various things in chocolate…or cheese. Or both. So I switched it. I think it’s much more socially acceptable Read More
Cake versus Cupcake: The Smackdown
In this corner we have the traditional wedding cake. The modern wedding cake was introduced in the 20th century and the tiered wedding cake became popular in 1902.
In the other corner we have the cupcake. The cupcake can actually be traced back to 1796…over one hundred years before the first modern wedding cake. Their popularity at weddings only happened in the 2000’s as cupcakes became trendy. According to Wikipedia, the cupcakes first gained publicity in 2001 after Magnolia Bakery in New York City was featured on an episode of Sex and the City. Thank YOU Carrie Bradshaw.
A dilemma many modern brides are having is the great debate between cupcake versus cake. Which one do you choose?
Well, let me break it down for you:
