Purple and White Wedding Cake
When I saw this cake, I knew I had to feature it.
We are not strangers to Intricate Icings – we love their work! It’s always so meticulous and, well, interesting. So often, I’ll spy a cake I love, and won’t be surprised that it’s the work of this awesome Colorado bakery.
This cake is no exception. I think two things drew it to me: first, the richness of the purple. To me, purple – or really, any deep, strong color – must be treated carefully when it comes to cake. One false move…one tint or shade the wrong way…and you have MESS on your hands. But the hue of this cake is just incredible! Rich, deep, vibrant. Perfect.
The second detail I love? The diamond piping, which is so meticulously executed. I love how the lines don’t always connect…how they are perfectly straight and even, as though they were snapped with a chalk line. How each cross is punctuated with alternating dragees and little flowers. And the white layers deserve a mention, too. Look closely: that’s not a damask-style stencil; those designs are piped. The steady hand that decorated this cake is extraordinary. And the whole thing is captured just so by Tyler Jones Photography.
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 1, 2012
And where does this first day of April find you? We are chillin’, back home from our little getaway, and eager to take on the last quarter of school before – yippee! – summer vacay! While it’s hard to stay focused some days, when I remember that my focus is on, you know, cake and pretty…well, it suddenly puts it all in perspective.
So, what are your favorite finds lately in the world of wedding? Let’s compare notes! But first, we’ll take a look at Read More

Pink Rose Petal Wedding Cake
Aren’t rose petals pretty? We see them scattered on aisle cloths or lawns. Sometimes they’re strewn across the cake table (like they are here.) But this baker goes a step further and actually puts them on the cake.
The simplicity of the vision is simple, and perfectly symmetrical, which lends a sense of calm and order to this lovely cake. Pink roses crown the cake, and petals rest at each corner of the five graduated square layers, which are decorated meticulously with buttercream, royal icing swags, and classic white Read More
Gremlin Wedding Cake
I am seriously a know-nothing when it comes to pop culture, y’all. I’m the last to (reluctantly) start playing the coolest new game or obtain the hottest new gadget. So I’m totally sure that the little guys on this cake have enormous meaning…but I have no idea what it is. Do you?
Anyway, I think this cake is brilliant. Look closely, and you’ll see two little twirps among the flowers, wreaking havoc. Rather than sticking these characters on top, and posing them in some “unnatural” way, couple and baker have a terrific sense of humor, and allow them to stay in character…thus terrorizing the cake. The pristine buttercream is Read More
White Wedding Cake with Fern Detail
Pretty spectacular, eh?
I’m sure there is a prince or princess floating around this reception somewhere. Or at least a socialite.
I love when white on white is done right. The detail of the piping, which features a fern motif, is heavy enough to capture the lights and shadows, which really makes it stand out. The flower garnish, made up of pale hydrangeas and pink roses, fills in the spaces perfectly, giving the cake a cohesive look. This cake is kind of old fashioned, in that it’s not stacked (and we predict a swing back Read More
Autumn Leaves and Chocolate Swirls Wedding Cake
Yes, I’m aware that we both have Spring Fever, and the mention of autumn (and the thought of approaching chilly weather) might make your moan. Still, I figure that a couple of you reading this blog may actually be planning – or at the very least, dreaming – of an autumn wedding. And so, it seems fitting, yes?
The gumpaste leaves on this three-tiered, ever-so-slightly off white cake, are the perfect touch of warmth, and the freehand chocolate swirls give a wonderful sense of motion to the whole thing. Can’t you just picture Read More
Pink and Yellow Chevron Polka Dot Wedding Cake
I remember that we flirted a little with chevrons last year, and I’m happy to see them representin’ again in 2012.
Isn’t this a darlin’ little cake? I love the sassy little polka dots that bring just the right pop of color, and the ruffly peonies say summer pretty in such a lovely way. Really, are there any prettier flowers for a wedding than flouncy peonies?
The demure size just lends to the charm. We could see this design translated to any number of hot color combinations (teal and chocolate? grey and yellow? blue and green?), and the design would be darling on a cutting cake and matching baby cakes or cupcakes or cake pops – oh my! And Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for March 18, 2012
Oh, but we have hit Spring Fever with a vengeance in my household.
We want to go to the beach! And the pool! Because in Florida, Spring Fever looks a lot like, you know, summer. But there have been stock car races and Bike Weeks and crazy parties for Irish folk to get through…before the Spring Breakers descend. And we are eager to join them. Like, next week.
So, we are introducing a slightly different format for our Let Them Eat Cake blog round-up, starting this week. We’ll be sharing with you what we’ve been up to all week (in case you missed it…it’s one stop Read More

All White Roses Wedding Cake
I know. Not the most cutting edge cake I’ve ever featured. But really. Look at it. It’s beautiful.
There is something so wonderful about simplicity. A single color. A motif repeated over and over. Color carried through various design elements.
I guarantee you that many people overlooked just how pretty this cake was. “Seen one white cake, seen ’em all.” But the artist really paid attention here. See how the size of the sugarpaste roses gets slightly larger with each layer? And notice that Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Tiara Wedding Cake Topper
Now, seriously…why didn’t we think of this? Brill!
So…we all need to be honest here, right this minute. And that is to say that if we had our way, we’d ALL get the chance to wear little tiaras and crownlettes (is that a word? I don’t think so) like this. I personally would wear mine while grocery shopping and vacuuming. Heck, I already wear my pearls for those activities, so why not?
This is a great cake anyway, all white on white, round on square, with a perfect swag of fondant doing a great fabric impression. The piping is exquisite, the decorations are just enough Read More
