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
Pink and Sage Green Graduated Layer Wedding Cake
My girl crush on Erica O’Brien was documented here (and here and here) long ago. So you will not be surprised to find out that, as I was getting my feet wet on Pinterest today (I know…where have I been??), one of the first cakes I pinned, without even knowing it, was one of Erica’s pretty cakes.
Oh, there is just something about the way she works! Everything is so clean and uncluttered, so original and crisp. When I went to research this cake, I of course found three more that I love LOVED. Look for those over the next few months.
This gem is palest pink with an earthy, silvery sage green ribbon Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for February 5, 2012
Welcome to February, y’all!
I hear that the groundhog saw his shadow (is that the one where there’s more winter?) I’m seeing a lot of declarations that it’s all good…if it’s more winter like this, then who cares? But as a storm blankets the West today, I’m still super duper glad that I call the Southeast Read More
Navy Blue Wedding Cake with Pearls
I’m a Pearl Girl, y’all. And my favorite color? That would be blue. So, yes. This is one fantastic cake. Silver and blue and pearls, oh my.
Navy blue fondant. Six tiers of varying height, with a couple of scalloped-edge layers thrown in. And those pearls? I believe those are handmade. Can you even fathom how long those strands took to create? What a classic and preppy cake. Wouldn’t it be so awesome to see the wedding that it went with?
This lovely showstopper Read More
Caketopper Friday: Anchored Sailboats Caketopper
Isn’t this sweet?
You know that my happy place is the ocean. It’s a good thing that I live in a state that’s surrounded by saltwater on three sides, yes?
Well, even though I haven’t formally cemented my list of 2012 New Year’s Resolutions, floating around Read More
