Black and Gold Wedding Cake
Sometimes when looking for wedding cakes to showcase I run across a cake that makes me go “hmmm” and “wow!” at the same time.
Today’s cake is that cake.
I’ll admit I never thought about having a black wedding cake when I was planning my wedding all those years ago. But I can see how it would work when looking at today’s cake. Read More
Naked Chocolate Cake
As we inch closer and closer to Halloween I love finding cakes that fit in the season!
Today’s naked chocolate cake is perfect for fall (and even a Halloween-themed reception).
I’m normally not a huge fan of “naked” cakes – I love icing too much to serve a cake that is seriously lacking in that department.
But this cake is too pretty to dislike! I love the dark chocolate cake and the hint of light pink icing peeking out from between the tiers. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake
If I’m being totally honest, I have chocolate on the mind this week.
The other day I gave props to the gorgeous chocolate crepe wedding cake and today I’m talking about this amazing chocolate truffle tower cake.
Look at this cake. It is almost too amazing to eat.
Almost.
The cake is inspired by the corquembouche, a traditional French wedding cake. Each of the truffles is rolled in assorted cocoa powders which give the cake layers of color and flavor.
And if the truffles aren’t enough to grab you, underneath the chocolate goodness is a yellow butter cake that is filled and frosted with more chocolate – chocolate ganache to be exact.
This is basically the most perfect chocolate wedding cake ever.
And if you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you could actually make this cake. You know, as a DIY project. Check out the details here.
You’ll find this truffle cake here.
Chocolate Crepe Wedding Cake
I love chocolate cake.
And when we’re talking about wedding cakes I love unique chocolate cakes.
Like this crepe wedding cake, for example.
Look at how gorgeous this cake is! Layers of thin crepes sandwiched between dark chocolate glaze and hazelnut filling. It is pure chocolate bliss.
And the crepe cake is embellished with candied hazelnuts so you just know it’ll be delicious. Read More
Chocolate Chip Wedding Cake
If there’s one sweet treat I can never resist it’s chocolate chip cookies.
Hot out of the oven, dunked in a glass of ice cold milk…it’s the best snack ever.
So if you could have a wedding cake that was inspired by a chocolate chip cookie, why would you ever say no? Read More
Rustic Fall Wedding Cake
I woke up this morning to very chilly fall-like temperatures and the reality that fall really is just around the corner.
So what better time to start talking about fall wedding cake, right?
I love the idea of having a rustic fall wedding – especially if it’s still warm enough outside to host an outdoor reception.
Which brings me to today’s wedding cake – it’s very rustic but also elegant, which isn’t an easy combination to pull off. Read More
Shades of Orange Wedding Cake
So now that we’ve “officially” said goodbye to summer, it’s time to start thinking about fall.
More specifically it’s time to start thinking about ideas for fall wedding cakes.
Now I’m not normally a fan of the color orange – it’s just one of those colors that rarely wows me. Plus most orange cakes end up looking like pumpkins, which is OK if that’s the look you’re going for. Read More
Chocolate Wedding Cake
If there’s one thing I wish I could do over from my wedding so many years ago it would be to include chocolate in my wedding cake.
Back in the day it was all about the white wedding cake – sure the flavors under the icing could vary, but standard white icing was all the rage.
But now I love the idea of serving a chocolate cake with chocolate icing because your guests will never expect it! Read More
Fall Basket Wedding Cake
It sure feels like fall today so that got me thinking about all things fall, like trips to the apple orchard. And baskets full of apples.
Which brings me to today’s wedding cake inspired by baskets.
I really like this five-tier cake for several reasons, including the fact that the icing color is rather non-traditional. It isn’t often that you see a mocha-hued wedding cake. Read More
A Wedding Cake Made of Cheese
I love cheese.
I’m talking I could eat cheese at every meal if given the opportunity. Which is probably why I would love to be invited to a wedding reception where the cake was made entirely of cheese.
Just like today’s wedding cheese cake.
This stunning cake was created using five wheels of cheese and it would be the perfect “cake” for a reception where there was also a dessert buffet. Read More
