Gothic Roses and Birdcage Wedding Cake

gothic birdcage wedding cake (compressed)

In last week’s round up, I featured a link to Boho Weddings, a fun UK wedding blog that celebrates unique and unusual wedding details.  I was so excited to see one of my favorite cakeries, Cakes by Beth, featured in one of their posts!

Beth Mottershead took a unique professional path to her post as owner and creator of Cakes by Beth, via a PhD in Materials Science.  That meticulous attention to detail, coupled with a love of creativity, led her to the place she is today.

Beth recently launched her 2012 Cake Collection (I LOVE that she launches Cake Collections, like the true artist and designer she is!)  We’ll be featuring Read More

Paper Banner Cake Topper

Paper Banner Cake Topper

I love the simplicity of this paper banner cake topper. Wouldn’t this be swell for a vintage wedding, or maybe a small gathering? I mean, the little cake that it’s featured on could not be more cute.

This adorable paper banner cake topper is the work of Ready Go Paper Studio.  The company also sells a set of brides and grooms – simply attired, adorably nonchalant – to stand under the banner.  Also available are cake bunting toppers in a Read More

Square and Round White Wedding Cake

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

Martha Stewart Apple 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

Pink and Sage 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

Personalized Ceramic Cakestand

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

Navy blue and pearl wedding cake

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

Sailboat cake topper

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
