winter wedding cakes
Snowflake Cake
We loves us some Kara Buntin of A Cake to Remember around here. Yes. We do. So, is it any surprise that I choose to wave goodbye to 2011 with one of her cakes? Probably not.
I am a firm believer in the Twelve Days of Christmas, y’all. In our home, Christmas isn’t over until the Wise Men have come and gone on January 6 (that’s the Epiphany, by the way, in case you are wondering what in the world I’m talking about.) Only then does the tree come down, and all the pretty decorations are tucked lovingly away til next December.
But, even I realize Read More
Silver Pinecone Wedding Cake
I’m not going to lie. The day I figured out that spray paint + pine cones = amazing winter accessories for my house I kind of went nuts. When I figured out that I already owned silver and gold spray paint AND my backyard was littered with pine cones so in essence this DIY decoration was free…I kind of flipped out.
I’m sure these pine cones aren’t exactly spray painted (something about that seems incredibly unsafe to be near your edibles) but they are a gorgeous silver on top of an ice Read More
Winter Birds Wedding Cake
Did you gasp when you saw this cake? I did! If you didn’t go ahead and take a minute and look at it again. Okay, now you’re gasping.
Simply gorgeous. This cake was made by Brooklyn Cake in..well..Brooklyn of course! The website says this as well and I totally agree but you don’t have to just do red and green or silver and white to have a cake full of holiday cheer! We are moving beyond Santa and Snowflakes this year people. Of course if you’ve Read More
Merry Christmas From A Wedding Cake Blog!
We hope that our greeting finds you happy, healthy, and surrounded by friends and loved ones this beautiful Christmas Day.
We’ll be rounding up a little later today – we can’t resist the temptation of sneaking off to find all the sweet and pretty that the Read More
Nutcracker-Inspired Cake
I don’t know about you and yours, but around our house, we love The Nutcracker Suite. It’s become quite the little tradition in our family, playing the music, watching the video (I favor the old Baryshnikov version), and using the lovely decorations to dress up our home. Even my one year old has become fascinated with moving the soldier’s mouth back and forth.
So, of course, I had to share this beautiful cake with you. Inspired by The Nutcracker, this gilded beauty is the handiwork of The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach, Florida. From owner and executive pastry chef Sherri Meyers, I learned that the festive Read More
Christmas Mini Cakes
I know I’ve said this before..but if cake pops are in 2011 what cupcakes were in 2010..then consider mini cakes the new cake pop which are the new cupcake.
Can you follow that logic? Probably not.
But just wait til you see the mini cake beauties I have lined up to bring in 2012. Unfortunately, none of them were Christmas-themed. That is, until I found this one. This Christmas mini Read More
Bare Branch Wedding Cake
We’re gearing up – or maybe you’re already in full throttle – for the spectacularity that is the Winter Holiday Season – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU! But do you remember the old days? The days when Christmas didn’t start five minutes after you pushed back from your Thanksgiving seconds? Or – shudder – right after the Labor Day picnic?
Am I showing my age? Sigh.
Well…all of that to say that I do remember such a time…a time when you thought…hmm…it’s not fall, it’s not Christmas…it…just…is. No pretty leaves, no super crazy snow. Just beautiful bare Read More
Winter Themed Cake
Okay, here are two things that I am painfully aware of.
1. It is not in any way shape or form winter.
2. I know that this cake is not exactly a wedding cake..but a Nutcracker-themed cake made in celebration of a production of The Nutcracker.
Yet, here I sit, ready to get my Nutcracker on in the middle of September. Oh well. Because I adore this-six tiered creation that pays homage to all things Snowflake, Gum Drop, Sugar Plum and oh yes, I believe those are little tiny purple mice. True story, I was in The Nutcracker in the fourth Read More
Champagne Wedding Cake
Some cakes are stunning in their detail. Some are breathtaking in the display of the baker’s skill. And some are flat out…adorable.
This, Ladies and Gentleman, is an adorable cake.
The label adorable is by no means slander. It’s perfect in every detail. Not a wrinkle in the fondant. Not a twinkle out of place in the fountain-y, sparkly, headdress-y cake topper. It really is perfect.
But I use adorable Read More
