Cake Pops
I love the idea of serving an alternative to wedding cake, especially in the summertime when it’s often too hot to eat.
And, cake pops are the perfect alternative to a big and fancy wedding cake. Read More

Another “Cheese” Cake – Plus a Really Great Silhouette Topper
We have featured a “cheese” cake – or two (or three.) But this one is my favorite by far.
Hmmm…what makes it so awesome? Well, for starts, the professional photography and styling don’t hurt. And the silhouette cake toppers are uber adorable. But also, the cheeses look particularly Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for September 30, 2012
Hello, hello! How are you this very fine Sunday? I’m swell, and happy that it’s the weekend.
How is the weather in your neck of the woods? Cool and crisp? Well…lucky YOU. ‘Cause we are totally sweltering here in the southeast. It happens this way every year, but it’s always so tiring…watching everyone else’s mercury plummet while ours holds steady. But in just a few weeks, it will be the dry season…or what we call in Florida…bliss.
Isn’t this just the BEST time for weddings, though? Rich foods, rich colors, and that excitement that just Read More

Wedding Cake Alternatives: Non-Traditional Wedding Cake Options
I haven’t bumped into many people who say they don’t like cake. But apparently, they are out there. And in the past, People Who Don’t Like Cake would grin and bear their secret loathing (or their apathy…but that doesn’t sound very dramatic) when it came to their wedding. After all, you MUST have a ginormous wedding cake at your wedding, yes? A towering confection, an architectural wonder, made with more butter and eggs and sugar than you’ve eaten EVER?
Well, if you are among the People Who Don’t Like Cake, have I got news for you. Time to come out of the cake closet and rejoice in your new found freedom, because you don’t have to serve cake at your wedding. Well, not the big giant white white white kind, anyway. You can – gasp! – serve what you’d like.
In the past ten years or so, couples have begun to question Read More
Black and Red Wedding Cake Pop Cake
My name is Brooke, and I love cake pops. (Hi Brooke.)
Omistars…I feel certain that cake pops were some kind of happy accident, or were the obvious invention of thrifty cake bakers who couldn't imagine throwing out all those cake scraps (we used to make rumballs out of all those yummy leftovers.) Dress them up, put them on a stick, and you have the perfect two bite dessert!
But savvy folks like Julie of Party Pops by Julie are taking the artistry of the humble cake ball to a whole new level. Check out this incredible wedding cake – made from Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 17, 2012
Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads out there! While we are fixin’ to set out on a beach picnic (I know…tiresome…that’s how we celebrate everything, it seems), I love showing you what we’ve been up to all week, as well as checking out what our friends are doing with their extraordinary gifts and abilities. Let’s start with our some pretty cakes, brought to you by, well, US!
On Monday, I shared with you what is destined to be one of my most favorite cakes EVER – the Teacup Wedding Cake.
Tuesday brought with it Shades of….Purple, when Kasey shared a lovely Read More
Rice Krispie Cake
I think I’m just going to have to stop and let you process the picture of this bad boy for a minute. Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Done? Awesome sauce.
I’m not going to lie. I might have shouted an obscene word and did a high kick when I saw this cake. I stopped short at finger guns. You’re welcome.
Since it’s my 30th birthday and now that I am 30 I make apologies to no man and I do what I want when I want because I’m thirty and I Read More

Macaroon Cake
Last month when I talked to you about wedding cake alternatives I mentioned a Macaroon Tower. I never..ever imagine anything as gorgeous as this. Sure, sure the lighting combined with the sparklers and an obvious genius behind the lens made this macaroon tower seem extra magical..but I am totally considering a Macaroon Tower at my next event. And I don’t Read More
Going Beyond the Cake
I know I have mentioned this before..but there are people out there who just don’t like cake. If you aren’t really a cake person why bother spending a ton of money on a wedding cake or wedding cupcakes? Your guests might enjoy them but it is your day so you should be able to have a dessert that you enjoy. Because let’s face it: there really aren’t any rules when it comes to weddings. Also, some brides or grooms have gluten or flour allergies…so why have a cake? I promise…the wedding police will not come out and place you under arrest if you choose not to have a cake at your reception.
I realize this all sounds pretty weird coming from a girl who spends most of her time writing about or eating wedding cakes. Luckily, there are a lot of really great alternatives to the traditional cake or cupcake.
Something that kind of blows my mind and that I would be thrilled to find at any wedding is the Cheesecake Wedding Cake. A wedding cake made entirely of cheesecake. I’ve mentioned before that my inner-Golden Girl would SO have a field day with this option. However, I felt like it was sort of a long shot. I know cheesecake is a little pricey and I could not even begin to imagine how much a Cheesecake Wedding Cake must cost. I was pretty pleased to find out that a.) they do exist and b.) you will Read More
