Southern All the Way: Magnolia and Bling Wedding Cake
If I can’t have pearls, then diamonds will do. Agreed, girls?
This cake practically drawls at us from the computer screen, doesn’t it? Oh, how I adore Savannah! Random? Not really. For this cake evokes long, slow, sultry walks on the squares, and delicious food, and beautiful architecture, and gracious people. That’s no coincidence, because this cake was created by Savannah’s own Custom Cakes.
Sugar magnolias rest on a simple, classic white cake. The base of each layer is trimmed with ivory ribbon and capped with a double strand of rhinestones, which Read More
“He’s Her Lobster” Groom’s Cake
You know the episode. Of course you do! Ross. Rachel. Phoebe and the lobsters.
Well, Jenniffer from Cup a Dee Cakes in Georgia (see! I told you to stay tuned for another fabulous Cup a Dee cake!) likes to think that episode is the idea behind this one. And I (and a couple million of my closest friends who were also glued to the TV on Thursday nights in the nineties) would like to agree.
While Jenniffer says the cake was a Read More
Whimsical and Wonky Rectangular Wedding Cake
When the wonky wedding cake debuted in the nineties we were all taken aback with by its cuteness and whimsy. This style of cake, which had asymmetrical layers and looked like something right out of Alice in Wonderland, defied gravity to stay upright. It was a breath of fresh air.
Nowadays, we’ve seen lots of wonky cakes. Some are well executed; some, not so much. But when I saw this one by Jenniffer of Cup a Dee Cakes in Georgia, I really considered the genre redefined.
I had never seen a square wonky cake! And this one’s wonkiness Read More
Wedding Bells Wedding Cake
We still say that wedding bells are ringing…but when did you actually last hear some?
Well, even if churches don’t still come with nifty bell towers (and lots of people don’t even get married in churches these days), it’s still a quaint thought. And this cake celebrates that notion bee-autifully.
Two square tiers, flawlessly covered in white fondant and trimmed with an edge of tiny white dots are then embellished with bells, cut out from more fondant, painted with edible gold dust, and Read More
Brown and Sage Polka Dot and Bow Wedding Cake
First, let me apologize for the less-than-super sharp picture. But I thought this cake was post-worthy, so I went with it 
Isn’t it darling? I mean, we aren’t seeing anything terrifically new or daring here, but what we are seeing is executing beautifully. First of all, I LOVE brown – and it doesn’t even have to be chocolate for me to be happy about it. Secondly, I’m not always a big fan of fondant bows…honestly, most of the time, I’d rather see satin ribbon. But this one is perfect and gorgeous! Scaled exactly perfectly to the cake.
I like the Read More
Yellow Ombre Buttercream Wedding Cake
Are you a fan of ombre? I am. I love this look on walls, papers, dresses…and, of course, ombre wedding cakes.
This yellow ombre cake is one of the prettiest examples of the technique I’ve seen. It’s really subtle, with just a kiss of color toward the bottom, for the couple who really like the idea of a white cake, but want just a tiny touch of color. The darling cake topper, consisting of a compact nosegay of yellow roses and other flowers, perfectly punctuates the look.
Beyond the ombre, aren’t the buttercream ribbons that adorn the cake fantastic? Look closely, and you’ll see that the effect Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for Easter Sunday, April 8, 2012
Happy Easter, Sweet Readers o’ Mine! I really hope you are enjoying this GORGEOUS spring day as much as we are! We were up early to see what goodies awaited us in our Easter baskets, and then off to service and some fantastic family time! So if you are taking a break from the ham, or the lamb, or the Easter egg hunt, to come see what I’m up to today, I thank you very kindly!
It’s been a fun week here on A Wedding Cake Blog. We’ll start by sharing what we’ve been up to all week!
On Monday, we started the week with a BANG of gorgeous Read More
Confetti Wedding Cake
Shouldn’t a wedding be, first and foremost, a celebration? And shouldn’t a celebration involve lots and lots of confetti?!
It’s ever so much better than rice, in my opinion.
Does anyone ever throw rice anymore? Or for that matter, is anyone using birdseed these days? We used these adorable rice paper hearts confetti, courtesy of Read More
Pink and Orange Buttercream Ruffle Peony Cake
Are you there yet? Are you in that absent-minded, don’t-bother-me-with-real-life-details-like-laundry-and-oil-changes that spring incites? I can think of nothing but glorious days, warm breezes, picnics, and playing outside. I want to wear flowy dresses made from lots of linen, drink lemonade and crisp white wine, and gather floppy flowers.
And here is the perfect cake to epitomize that vibe.
Nine days out of ten, you’ll find me buttoned up and starched, tailored and just so, and I love cakes that reflect that personality, too. Crisp edges, architectural and symmetrical features, like Read More
Fondant and Applique White on White Square Monogram Wedding Cake
I love when I find a classic technique or concept, with a totally unique twist.
It’s well documented that, even if bakers get sick and tired of white-on-white-on-white cakes, I am a big fan of them. I just think a cake that doesn’t use a lot of fireworks, or bells and whistles, but just stands there, with dignity, in white simplicity, is perfection. I think few cakes showcase a cake artist’s talent and creativity better than what they do with a white on white palette.
This fondant cake is a beauty. While I’d be extra bowled over if those white designs were hand-piped – they appear to be Read More
