Ivory Orchid Cutaway Wedding Cake
I wanted to show you this cake specifically because of the shape. The orchids are pretty, and the simple design is flawlessly executed, but what I really love is the shape.
So many brides and cake artists are looking to all kinds of embellishments to set their wedding cake apart, that sometimes we forget something as simple as the shape of the cake can make it unique. One of my very favorite cakes ever was featured in the cookbook Baking with Julia, and was made by Martha Stewart. It was such a simple cake really, ivory Read More

Ombre Sugar Valentine’s Heart Cake
OMG, y’all.
You know that I adore the genius, ingenuity, and hard word that is Erica O’Brien Cake. From the beginning of my work on this blog a year ago, I have followed her creative process through her blog with fascination. Right now, I’m captivated by her move across country and her hard work to get her new shop up and running in Hamden, Connecticut.
But in the midst of all the crazy that opening a business entails, Erica still finds time to be, you know, inspired, which just floors me. And she always seems to find inspiration from things mere mortals Read More
Red and White Roses Cake
Happy Valentine’s Day, Everyone!
Are you counting how many times I wish you that? I hope not.
Well, I mean, I can’t help it. It’s the month of looovveee. And thank goodness for it, since this is kind of a slow wedding time 😉
I had to show you this one. I love the simplicity of it, with the breathtaking, full-blown, real roses trimming the cake. Red roses are so sultry, don’t you think? Almost daring you to gasp at their brazenness. But here, they are Read More
Square and Round White Wedding Cake
Isn’t this pretty?
There is nothing that I like better than taking a little tradition, and twisting it on its head. You still have the elegance that you started with, but you end up with something totally new and unique.
Here, we have a lovely white cake. Sounds a little boring, yes? But how could it be? Our cake artists have played with shape, giving us both square and round. They’ve changed up the Read More
Fall Fruits Wedding Cake
Sometimes, there is just no way to react to a cake, other than….
Sigh.
Isn’t this just simplicity and beauty and wholesomeness wrapped up in a tidy little edible confection? I bring you this cake courtesy of Martha Stewart Weddings. The cake was made by Karen Menning Porter, the sister of the bride. Karen apparently owned Tilly’s Cakes of Neodesha, Kansas, at the time of the post, but I can no longer find a website 
BUT – let’s focus on the Read More
Sage Green and White Wedding Cake with Monogram
There are four reasons that I love LOVE this cake.
You had me at sage green. This is my favorite shade of the verdant color, hands down. It’s such a calm, cool shade of green, that I picked it as one of my primary paint colors in my home. After living with it for seven years, I’m still not tired of it.
Oh monograms, how I adore thee. You can barely make it out from this photo, but there, centered in the front of the second tier from the top is a script, white on white monogram. Oh, nothing says perfection and “completely complete” to me like a monogram does. And that it’s Read More
Indian-Inspired Red and Gold Wedding Cake
We love a little pop of color in a wedding, and this one was just incredible.
Jenny and Aashish sought to bring together her Midwestern background with his Indian heritage, and the result was one of the most stunning weddings I’ve ever seen. Of course, I’m a sucker for cranberry red, so that might be part of it…I would TOTALLY wear that bridesmaid,s dress again.
But of course, the cake is the star of OUR show. And the cranberry red shows up here, too. Three simple layers, decorated with a mehndi-inspired paisley motif in gold, trimmed with cranberry red ribbon, and topped with a few Read More
Glitter Dust Mini Cakes
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

Pink and White Orchid Wedding Cake
I have a friend from my childhood who married well. Like…her family went to Hawaii last month and are in Florida this week. Sure, they are both business trips for her husband’s work…but color me jealous because I have to scrimp and save for end tables from Ikea. This is not to say she married for money because she didn’t…she just got super lucky in the rich husband department.
Anyway, while looking through her family photos of their Hawaiian vacation I found myself longing for a glass of pineapple juice and a vase full of hibiscus flowers. Since that won’t work we’ll just post this lovely cake that Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for January 22, 2012
Happy…hmmm…well…let me think about it…Sunday! Happy Sunday, Everyone!
Oh, but we have entered into that part of winter when winter is no longer enchanting. (Well. I assume. I mean, I live in Florida, and I’m going to the beach today. Hate me if you must.) But really, I remember this time of year when I lived up north. Christmas is over. Spring seems far, far, far, far… Thanks be to God for Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and St. Patty’s, or we’d all go stark raving mad, I’m afraid.
Speaking of such things, I love all the little holidays. Isn’t it just so awesome that in life, there just always seems to be something to celebrate Read More
