Three Ruffle Cakes
There are just so many things that are right about this picture that they had to be a part of Ruffle Week 2011.
Let’s start with the three gorgeous ruffle cakes. One in perhaps the lightest pink that I have ever seen. The next in a gorgeous light blue. The third (and best) cake is a Read More
Orange and White ‘Double Happiness’ Cake with Anemones
I heart this cake. Majorly.
Okay, with the “majorly” I majorly showed my age just now.
So, this is another fantastic cake from Shawna at Flourish Cakes. We have been working to get this one up for sometime between the two of us. But she had sick kiddoes, and I ran off to the wilds of West Virginia and well…here we are.
I thought this cake was breathtaking the first time I saw it. Its simplicity, the clean lines, the East-meets-West feel, the, I don’t know, crispness Read More

Robot Wedding Cake
It is no secret that I love Kara Buntin of A Cake to Remember in Charlottesville Richmond, Virginia. She is original, she’s meticulous, she’s knowledgeable, she’s particular, she’s funny. I learn from her blog and I’m inspired by it.
Earlier this year, Kara featured a contest for a local couple getting married. She would make their cake, but with the (sort of) condition that she would be given some latitude artistically, to make a non-traditional wedding cake. Later, she announced her winners, Carrie and Matt, and they got to work with the plan and design.
This original, adorable robot cake is the result.
Robots? Wedding cake? You wouldn’t think so, but it works! Kara worked with Carrie to come up with the theme. At first, bride Carrie wanted a traditional wedding cake and a funny groom’s cake, because “that’s what is done.” However, she was open to combining the two – and the theme was born!
Here is an excerpt from Kara’s blog, telling a little about the couple’s courtship:
“Matt hosted a Blogging/Web Development conference in May of 2009 and I attended for work. A few months later we struck up a conversation on twitter, became friends and talked (a lot) throughout the rest of the summer. In September of 2010 we went on our first date, and on September 18, 2010, one week shy of our 1-year anniversary, Matt asked me to marry him.”
Mr. Robot, inspired by the Twitter technical difficulties motif, sits on top of a traditional wedding cake, and holds another diminutive wedding cake, covered with an Xs and Ox motif. The bottom cake has birds, which represent the couple’s Twitter courtship. And because of the couple’s high tech connection, the bottom tier is bordered by “Matt plus Carrie XOXO” – spelled out in binary code around the base of the cake! Kara also brought in some softer, more traditional touches to add to the whimsy, like the off center peony on the bottom layer.
This is truly an original, beautiful cake, and what’s more, it represents the couple to a T. And THAT is the mark of an exceptional cake artist.
Rose Wedding Cake
Sure..have your wedding cake, your chocolate cake, cream puffs, strawberry cake, cheesecake and …pumpkin pie? And eat it too.
I’m not sure if I have ever seen this many desserts at one wedding…but…you know…why not? Desserts are kind of amazing yes? The highlight of this dessert table is of course the three-tiered white wedding cake adorned with deep red roses. The cake is a traditional three tiered round cake covered with Read More
Big Huge Harrod’s Cake
Oh hi, guess what? It’s our 300th post! No big deal right?
Big deal to me! Granted I know I haven’t written all 300 of them myself…we’ve got to give a big shout out to Brooke who takes the weekend shift and creates a great round up…(not to mention fixing all of my grammatical errors)…but to me it’s still a pretty big deal. Basically because I never got past January 13th in my diaries that I swore I’d write in every day on December 31st.
Much like the fact that this is our 300th post, this cake is a BIG deal. I mean literally. Check it out. It’s HUGE. It’s a five-tier Read More
Scroll Pattern White Wedding Cake
Today, we show another installment in the “all white done right” category.
Jenniffer from Cupadee Cakes consistently turns out beautiful cakes. This one is no exception. Four tiers of white buttercream. Three of the tiers feature a wide piped border, reminiscent in detail of exquisite crown moulding. Different components make up the border, a combination of fleur-de-lis-like swirls and dots. On the third layer, Jenniffer fashioned a bow and anchored it with a brooch, both made of gumpaste. The cake is simple and elegant, Read More
Stacked White Cake with Fruit
I LOVE this cake. I know that I say that a lot but I mean it this time. All the other times I lie. Just kidding.
This cake is adorable. It’s a three-tiered square cake, and the layers are stacked with fruit. Yummy fruit. Drenched in chocolate and powdered sugar. Fruit is always Read More

Happy Fall, Y’all!
Well…fall-ish. Reports are tricklin’ into me from all over the country, from friends who are waking up to cooler breezes, nicer temperatures…my friend Matt in Texas even told me it cooled down to 90 in Austin yesterday.
But here in Florida, I’m manufacturing my fall Read More
Fuchsia and White Wedding Cake
I love when a plan comes together. And today’s cake is an example of just that.
This lovely cake is the beautiful work of Kristin from Fat Girl Cakes in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Kristin tells me that the bride for this wedding wasn’t quite sure what she would like in terms of a cake. When they met, Kristin flipped through a book of cakes for inspiration, and the bride mentioned that she loved one of the display cakes as well. She seemed to gravitate toward cakes that featured bright colors…and that’s all Kristin needed to get the creative ball rolling here.
So…where does the “plan come together” Read More
