The other day we featured cupcakes as an alternative to a big wedding cake, and today we’re talking about a smallish wedding cake as an alternative dessert.

Today’s featured cake is the perfect size for a couple who wants to have a dessert buffet or cupcakes in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.

I love the vintage look of today’s cake. Read More

Wedding Cake with Yellow Roses

As I walked a very long trail at the park today I was surrounded by thousands of blooming trees, plants, flowers, and probably some weeds too.

It’s been sunny and a little warm and combined with the rain earlier in the week everything is blooming!

Sure this means a lot of pollen but it also means I’m dreaming about wedding cakes with gorgeous flowers. Yes, I do dream about wedding cakes. Don’t you? Read More

Vintage Fairground Wedding Cake

I always enjoying finding cakes that are whimsical and add an element of fun to the wedding reception.

This cake from our friends at Hockleys Cakes is just what I was looking for! It’s whimsical, fun, and even has a spring-like look and feel to it.

The four-tier cake was created for a bride and groom who were celebrating their big day at an old stately home, according to Michael Hockley. The couple wanted a “vintage fairgroud” feel to the reception and wanted their cake to fit the bill.

And so, the Helter Skelter cake was created. Read More

Cake Topper Friday: White Chocolate Bride and Groom Cake Topper

Love. This.

Maybe I'm speaking as a married woman of 11 years who doesn't need another single knick knack. But girls, pay heed: that cutesy cake topper will be gathering dust in a matter of years in the back of your china cabinet (or worse…in a box in the attic.)

My advice? Go edible.

I think this is darling because it's both classic and practical. Rather than have some chichi porcelain figures, why not Read More

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

I think I spy Victor Van Dort and his Corpse Bride!

Isn’t this fabulous? This gothic cake by Marianne of Dazzlelicious Cakes in Plymouth, UK, is the talk of the town. I absolutely LOVE the cool, ghosty blue and black motif. Black and blue roses, y’all! And swags and swags and stripes and swirls. This is an amazing cake, and this was a really fun wedding, I just know it.

There is just so much going on here! Check out the Read More

Art Deco Square Wedding Cake

I started to make this cake a feature for Wedding Cake Topper Friday, on account that I heart Paris in the most longing way, and so of course I sighed and swooned when I saw this fabulous cake. But honestly, the cake is so much more than that topper. And so here it is, the star of its own post.

I’m a big fan of art deco anyway. Have you seen Midnight in Paris? Woody Allen’s 2011 Oscar contender straddled the line between present day and 1920s Paris. I loved it immediately, and this cake, with its art deco motif and La Tour Eiffel topper, takes me right to it. And there’s something so Read More

gothic birdcage wedding cake (compressed)

In last week’s round up, I featured a link to Boho Weddings, a fun UK wedding blog that celebrates unique and unusual wedding details. I was so excited to see one of my favorite cakeries, Cakes by Beth, featured in one of their posts!

I don’t know what it is but lately I have been finding some unique themed wedding cakes. It seems like it has been a LONG time since I’ve featured a traditional sweet and pretty wedding cake. For most of us, weddings are all about the sweet and the pretty.

This cake is simply gorgeous. It takes Read More
