Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 29, 2012
Happy Sunday! I am soooo about to check out for a few days while my ab bestie is here visiting. I can’t wait! It’s been WAY too long. But before I go get my beach on for the week (with a little Dark & Stormy action sprinkled in for giggles), I had to show you what I’ve been seeing this week. Gosh, but it’s been a pretty summer wedding-wise, with lots of homespun and lace.
But before we take our weekly peek at the interwebs, let’s see what we’ve been up to right here at A Wedding Cake Blog.
On Monday, we featured the most DARLING Read More
Love Birds and Succulents Wedding Cake
Oh, but the summer vibe just keeps on getting summerier. That’s a word, right?
So, today’s cake isn’t so much about the cake itself – don’t be hatin’ on me ’cause it came from Publix Supermarket – but it is about the beautiful way that the bride and groom decided to dress it up with so many darling details.
The cake is the perfect blank slate: white fondant with big, exaggerated, pearl trim. But what really caught my eye were the succulents trimming the cake (LOVE THEM), as well as the adorable – I mean, CRAZY adorable! – lovebirds nesting on top. The final touch is the Read More
Happy Ending Wedding Cake
Those with any sense know that “And They Lived Happily Ever After” signifies not the end of the story, but the beginning.
Today, we feature another beautiful cake by Jenniffer at Cup A Dee Cakes in Tunnel Hill, Georgia. Clearly, Jenniffer knows this secret, and so does the couple for whom she made this beautiful cake.
So there are lots of fun things to love here. First, be sure to read Jen’s original blog post about how she got that pretty silver lettering onto that cake without going all wonky and downhill like most of us would. Next, don’t you love that vivid pop of Read More
Roses Wedding Cake
I debated using this cake – I’ve had it in my folder for a while – because it’s a little old school (Old School here having the mean of 2007.) And you know what? I’m gonna do it. ‘Cause it’s not getting any younger, and it’s well done.
What do I like about this one? It’s neatness. Simple cakes can go horribly wrong. Fast. Fondant can bubble, buttercream can look not smooth enough, edges can be cockeyed. But this cake is perfect. Square, the piped dotted Read More
Blue Squares Geometric Design Wedding Cake
I leapt at the chance to feature this beautiful cake by Cakes By Beth in Manchester, UK. Isn’t it gorgeous?
When Beth originally met with the bride and groom, they had very few specific ideas about how they wanted their cake to look. They knew they wanted four tiers and something simple in design that incorporated navy blue ribbon, but that was the extent of their input. Enter Beth and her brilliance! She suggested this geometric design of overlapping squares, reminiscent (to me, anyway) of a Chippendale motif. And though she was prepared for the couple not to love the idea…they did! Two of the original four layers became Read More
Teal Swarovski Crystals and Flowers Wedding Cake
Sometimes you just need a bit of flair to bring a cake to perfection. Perhaps some feathers or a touch of pink or you can add fabulous teal Swarovski crystals.
Today’s cake is by the lovely and talented team at The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach, Florida. If you haven’t seen any of their cakes then check out this Retro Bubble Cake, or this incredible Nutcracker-Inspired Cake.
The intricate detailing on this cake if perfection! The hand made sugar-paste flowers and the beautiful scrolling are gorgeous. And I love how they added a little bling in the form of teal Swarovski crystals. It’s a much lighter touch than all of the rhinestone trim that we saw last year, and frankly, I love it! It adds a little pop of color that complements the all white perfectly, and it’s a luxurious look without going overboard.
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 8, 2012
Hey Guys! Happy Summer!
Hopefully, you didn’t encounter any sparkler or firecracker mishaps this week during your celebration of our nation’s Independence. We spent a quiet day at home, recuperating from a beach crawl that took us through six states and back again, and introduced us to some fun new finds. But even though we saw some neat things, a week plus on the road proved to us that we needn’t go further than the beach in our own backyard. Sure, I bet Hawaii is fabulous, and I know that the Read More
Maraschino Cherry Wedding Cake
It’s cherry season, y’all! But whether it’s July or November, you can feature this cake trimmed in bright red fondant ribbon and maraschino cherries, since the candied cherries are seasonless!
Isn’t this darling? Three double-height layers, and the middle hexagonal in shape, make for an adorable cake. Did you notice the cool cutout design on that middle layer? And the pop of color from the bright red fondant trim and gumpaste cherries is so cheerful that you can’t help but grin. As if the cake Read More
Sparklers Wedding Cake
Happy Fourth of July, y’all!
As I head out to celebrate freedom, family, and summer, I wanted to leave you with this stunning photo that I found on Pinterest, courtesy of Style Me Pretty. What a beautiful cake! All white, and Read More
White Feathers Wedding Cake
Some days I like my job, and somedays, I really love it.
What makes the difference? Usually, it’s interacting with the fun, friendly, vibrant community of bakers from all over the world that I’m getting to know through my work here on A Wedding Cake Blog. Seriously, y’all. I never would have dreamed 10 years ago that I would be chatting with gifted bakers from England and Australia. Thank you, social media!
I asked for opinions on cakes that feature feathers a couple of weeks back, and Read More
