Cheese Cake: A Cake Made of Cheese
There's cheesecake and then there's cheese cake. Yes, that's right. Today we're talking about “cakes” made out of wheels of cheese. Is there anything more glorious really?
We have featured cheese cakes here Read More
Double Height Flowered Red Velvet Cake
I went in search of something different today, and I found this lovely cake!
Don’t dismiss it as just a Read More
Tropical Orange and Hot Pink Wedding Cake
I’m feeling a little tropical-y today, girls.
Isn’t this lovely? It’s like a sunset, you know? The structured bands of orange range from palest to deepest with a lovely ombre effect, and the contrasting hot pink posy is, well, perfection. It makes me Read More
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
White Feathers Wedding Cake
Some days I like my job, and somedays, I really love it.
What makes the difference? Usually, it’s interacting with the fun, friendly, vibrant community of bakers from all over the world that I’m getting to know through my work here on A Wedding Cake Blog. Seriously, y’all. I never would have dreamed 10 years ago that I would be chatting with gifted bakers from England and Australia. Thank you, social media!
I asked for opinions on cakes that feature feathers a couple of weeks back, and Read More
Confetti Wedding Cake
Shouldn’t a wedding be, first and foremost, a celebration? And shouldn’t a celebration involve lots and lots of confetti?!
It’s ever so much better than rice, in my opinion.
Does anyone ever throw rice anymore? Or for that matter, is anyone using birdseed these days? We used these adorable rice paper hearts confetti, courtesy of Read More
Rainbow Cake Ball Wedding Cake
We love Cake Wrecks. If you want to laugh hysterically (and sometimes, it’s at people, and not with them), then be sure to check out this awesome website.
However, we’ve never linked to them, because, well, usually they’re highlighting all that is hysterically wrong with cake. But then every so often, they show us beautiful cakes, and all is right with the world again.
I just fell in love with this rainbow cake ball wedding cake. Cake balls (yes, we realize it’s kind of a funny term) – not to be confused with cake pops. First, these are different sizes, and all are much bigger Read More
Aqua and White Marbleized White Chocolate Wedding Cake
I love showing you something a little funky and off the beaten, trendy wedding path from time to time. This beautiful cake is neither buttercream nor fondant (although we suspect that buttercream is the glue beneath the surface.) The decoration here is chocolate, believe it or not! The stunning marbleized effect is achieved by using transfer sheets with edible dye. The chocolatier spreads tempered chocolate over the acetate sheets, and as it cools to a hardened (though still malleable) state, the cake is wrapped with the sheets Read More
Ombre Sugar Valentine’s Heart Cake
OMG, y’all.
You know that I adore the genius, ingenuity, and hard word that is Erica O’Brien Cake. From the beginning of my work on this blog a year ago, I have followed her creative process through her blog with fascination. Right now, I’m captivated by her move across country and her hard work to get her new shop up and running in Hamden, Connecticut.
But in the midst of all the crazy that opening a business entails, Erica still finds time to be, you know, inspired, which just floors me. And she always seems to find inspiration from things mere mortals Read More
