Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 3, 2012
Heya Hiya! How’s your weekend going? Mine is super fantabulous.
We have officially started summer here in our household (I know what the calendar says. Whatevs.) With no more schoolwork, and the beach beckoning (not to mention that fab-o hammock) it’s hard to act like it isn’t the Second Most Wonderful Time of the Year. So onto picnics and lazy days and flower picking. Yes please.

Oh Martha. Be still my heart you have done it again.
Of course Martha encourages you to bring out your Inner DIYer and try and make these bad boys yourself. If you are so inclined they are simple fondant or buttercream covered mini-cakes. Then the goddess of the frosting bag creates geometric patterns using colored sugar mixed with confectioner’s sugar. Seriously, where is this colored sugar available for purchase? I want to use it on my Cheerios. You can do a variety of flavors, colors and designs on each cake. I also think Read More

Wedding Cake Trends for 2012
Take my opinion for what it’s worth. I am not a cake artist or a fashion forecaster (a real job…did you know that?) However, I have been knee deep in cake batter for the last year AND I consider myself a fairly trendy girl. Although it seems that trendy people never actually call themselves trendy…because that is so untrendy. So maybe I’m not. Whatever, I have thoughts anyway.
While I can’t see things like the ruffle and chevron patterns on cakes going away just yet, there are a few new looks we should keep our eyes on in 2012. I assume a lot of them will end up on this blog!
The Mini-Cake. It’s not a cupcake or a cake pop, it’s a full fledged cake shrunk down to size. Very Alice in Wonderland if I do say so myself.
(Note, I never consider Pinterest a source..however this image was actually uploaded by the user).
Many Cakes. You read that right. Not mini-cakes. Many cakes. On blogs and websites I am seeing more and more gorgeous pictures of a plethora of cakes. I’ve seen three to as many as ten all in various colors or sizes but they all have a common theme among them that makes them match. It’s a trend I hope we see more of.
Minimalist Wedding Cakes. I am noticing an “M” theme here. Wedding cakes are usually over the top and gorgeous. Occasionally we’ll find one with simple fondant and design but they can be pretty scarce (or eerily similiar to another cake we’ve featured). Let’s face it: there are only so many ways you can say, “This cake is white. It is also round”. Now cake artists are coming up with alternate ways to stay minimal but always pack a little punch of creativity. Like this cake that is stacked slightly off center with dark pearls (that may actually be blueberries) and an oyster shell.
I know it will be another amazing year when it comes to Wedding Cakes. Which trends are your favorite? Which trends are you ready to see go? Personally I love ’em all and can’t wait to see what other goodies are in store for us in 2012!
Christmas Mini Cakes
I know I’ve said this before..but if cake pops are in 2011 what cupcakes were in 2010..then consider mini cakes the new cake pop which are the new cupcake.
Can you follow that logic? Probably not.
But just wait til you see the mini cake beauties I have lined up to bring in 2012. Unfortunately, none of them were Christmas-themed. That is, until I found this one. This Christmas mini Read More
