Yellow Blossom Wedding Cake
So, we’ve seen many cherry blossom wedding cakes of late. But until now, I hadn’t seen yellow blossoms…and I am in love.
This cake, covered in fondant (ohso appropriate for the casual elegant outdoor reception), is trimmed with a meandering branch that spans all three layers. Daintily perched on the branch are pale yellow blossoms Read More
Pink Bow Tie
Cupcakes are probably the Lord’s perfect food. I’ve accepted that fact. For weddings, most cupcakes are dolled up with mile high buttercream frosting and look adorable to boot. Sometimes though…you just need a pretty cupcake layered in chocolate ganache.
Yum.
These adorable cupcakes are frosted with a thin layer of ganache and topped with a gorgeous light pink bow. I also think the random pink cupcake with the chocolate bow tie on the bottom tier is adorable Read More
Doing it Yourself: Making Your Own Wedding Cupcakes
I’ve had this topic in my mind for months. In fact when I began my research I wanted it to be my first feature that I did on A Wedding Cake Blog. I am SUCH a Doing It Yourself kind of girl. I love creating my own art for my home, making my own curtains or pillows instead of buying them. Once I even tackled making a duvet cover (not as simple as it might seem). I thought I would be ALL Read More
Before You Choose Your Baker Part I
Get excited because this is a two part-er!
We have showcased hundreds of gorgeous wedding cakes on here. The supply of amazing and gorgeous photos of cakes is limitless…but we all know those cakes didn’t just appear out of thin air. They came from somewhere. They were made by someone who was inspired by an idea.
It’s almost as exciting as the story about where babies come from. Almost.
If you truly think about it this is your one opportunity as a bride to truly create something that symbolizes your wedding. You wedding venue has done thousands of weddings before. Your dress? There are probably at least a hundred other girls wearing it on your wedding day. Well, unless you are The Duchess of Cambridge of course. Even though your baker has baked thousands of wedding cakes before. Each every one is unique and special in their own way. To me that makes them the most important part of your reception.
However, before you run into your baker for that wonderful tasting there are a few things you should do before choosing your baker. This post will be in the form of a list. Why? Because I love lists.
1. Research! You’re off to a good start if you’re reading this. Research is so important–because honestly you can’t walk into a baker without any idea of what you want or else you’ll end up with something that isn’t truly yours. While you won’t actually be the one baking, sculpting, and icing, you Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 24, 2011
Hiya!
So…how are you keeping cool during this scorcher of a summer? We’re fanning and heading to the beach and drinking plenty of iced tea. And while summer is scorching the rest of you, it’s just plain ole’ normal hot here in Florida.
But the heat hasn’t stopped the deliciousness that is a summer full of weddings. We’ve seen some Read More
Bride and Groom Wedding Cupcakes
There is something about fondant that just makes everything so beautiful. Don’t you agree? For years bakers have been turning out gorgeous wedding cake after wedding cake. They have been able to do such a thing because of one concrete-like material: fondant. It might not be the tastiest thing in the world…but it sure is pretty.
Now bakers are starting to take it to the next level and produce fondant covered cupcakes. Like these red velvet ones that the Read More
Unique Wedding Cake Flavors That You’ll Love
Oh yes. We are going there. I was recently having a conversation with a friend of mine about this blog. He was asking me what the point of blogging about cake was. He didn’t get it.
I had to explain that a wedding cake isn’t just something you see, it’s something you taste. If you go to a wedding and their cake is disgusting, you remember. If you go to a wedding and their cake is awesome, you remember. There have been more times than I’d like to count that I take a look at a gorgeous wedding cake and I cannot wait to dive in. Then after about six hours of dancing we FINALLY get to the cake cutting hoopla and I finally get my piece. (Because, of course, their wedding is ALL about me right?) Then after much anticipation…the cake sucks.
Have no fear though, because times they are a changing. Cake bakers are becoming more and Read More
Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes
I really thrive on finding cakes and cupcakes that are really interesting. Let’s face it: while the classic vanilla cupcake with chocolate frosting is amazing, sometimes you just need to live a little dangerously and go out and find something really exciting and different. I am living on the edge with these Banana Cream Pie Cupcakes.
If there is one thing about the south that I love it is the food. I have sweet tea running through my veins and banana pudding helps pump my blood. (Suddenly this is starting to sound very unappetizing). Anyway, I love a good Banana Pudding or Banana Cream Pie. There are times I choose Banana Pudding over chocolate. Gasp! When I found these Banana Cream Pie cupcakes my southern heart almost exploded from happiness. If you fancy yourself a baker (which I am not by the way) you can whip out the old muffin tins and make some yourself thanks to this website. Brooke is the baker of this group so I think I’ll let her try that. I can mess up cake in a box without really trying.
This leads me to the question I have got to know the answer to. What are your favorite desserts?

Push Pop Cupcakes
I have a word that I reserve for only special occasions. In order for me to use such a word the occasion has to be so amazing that no other adjective will do. Other than… Read More
