Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for October 7, 2012

Fall Cake Detail-001

As I sit here on a rainy fall afternoon, cup of tea in hand, I confess: I'd much rather be napping than rounding up anything.  So I think today will be a short one.  Let's take a look at some sweet and pretty, and maybe a little bit o' news.

Fun or annoying?  Apparently, Read More

Double Tall Covered Bridesmaid’s Luncheon Cake

double tall wedding shower cake

I espied this on Wedding Wire today and just had to share it with you.

I just love a little cake.  Now, this one is billed as a cake for a shower or a bridesmaids' luncheon, but having gone through the big wedding hoopla, I love the idea of a wedding intimate enough that this darling little cake would be enough for all your guests.

There's so much to Read More

It’s been a busy week around here, so I’m gonna get right to it with a round up of our own stuff.  Enjoy!

On Monday, we asked the very important question, Read More

What’s Your Cake Style?

White and Crystal Cake

Once upon a time, two pastry chefs fell in love, decided to get married, and opted to spend more on the cake than her dress. (See that cake over there?  Made by the wonderful Sherri Meyers of The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach?  She made my cake, too.  Alas.  Before the days of great digital photography.)

True story.  I know, because I was there.

What's my point, you ask?  Well, for some couples, a wedding cake is just another detail to cross off the mile-long to do list.  For these folks, having Aunt Bessie bake her famous sheet cake for free, or heading down to the local supermarket…well, that's fine.  (And Aunt Bessie may be Read More

Apple Wedding Cake Redux

Martha Stewart Apple Cake

This is one of my all-time favorite cakes that I’ve featured.  Why am I providing you with a re-run today, you ask?  A couple of reasons:

1. A cake loved should be shared more than once.

2. We will never forget.

So today, although I will not dwell on what September 11 has come to mean to Americans as well as others around the world, I do offer you this apple cake Read More

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake

From the pages of Martha Stewart, we find this new take on a much loved classic, Red Velvet Cake.

Everybody knows that the BEST red velvet cakes must be covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, right?  I mean, you do know that?  Well, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room for creativity on the outside of your cake…so this baker, Francina Stewart of One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn, took to the inside to set her cake apart.  The outside is covered with Read More

Pearl Encrusted Wedding Cake with Monogram

Pearl Encrusted Wedding Cake with Monogram

Oh. My. Pearls.

On the heels of Julia Child’s 100th birthday last week, I’ve been in love all over again with pearls.  They are ALWAYS my first choice, the thing I gravitate towards in the case. And so, it should come as NO surprise that I loved the cake the instant I saw it.

It’s just so perfect.  And there’s something about that many sugar pearls on a cake that seems so, well, elegantly decadent.  That Jenniffer from Cup a Dee Cakes paired the pearls with a Read More

Pink Bow Wedding Cake

Pink Bow Wedding Cake

Sometimes I see simple, beautiful, easy-to-do ideas, and I think, why didn’t I think of that?

I know.  You do too.

This cake is kinda like that, you know?  When I saw this, I thought it was adorable, but even more than that, I thought that it was so do-able.  Like DIY-able.  Basically, you make teeny tiny satin ribbon bows, affix them to floral wire, and stick them into the cake.  Done.

But maybe your thing isn’t bows.  But you could do this with Read More

White on White Seashell Wedding Cake

I hope you aren’t tired of beach-inspired wedding cakes, because I probably never will be.

I know that I’ve featured my fair share of wedding cakes that incorporate ocean elements over the last couple of years, like this Teal Seashell Wedding Cake from a wedding in Key West.  Well, today’s cake has kind of an interesting story, too.

This cake was made for a recent wedding at Read More

Deconstructed Cube Wedding Cake

deconstructed white cube wedding cake

If you’re a foodie, or enjoy watching any of the foodie shows on Bravo or Food Network (etc., etc., etc., infinity), then you’ve heard the term “deconstructed” applied to food.  It’s been around for quite a while now, but you know, I don’t really mind it.  It usually means that the chef is focusing far more on the sum of the parts than he normally would.

This cake caught my eye because it was a “deconstructed” wedding cake.  Now, that’s not really all that new.  There was a mini-trend of separated tier cakes in the 80s, and it seems to continue to this day (you might remember Christen’s Read More
