Gray and Pink Cake Trio
Remember just yesterday when I told you that Multiple Cakes was a trend to look for in 2012. Oh, I had this little beauty (beauties) up my sleeve when I wrote that post!
This Cake Trio takes the stacking away from the cake and separates them into three different cakes. I can’t say if there is any particular reason to do this other than pure aesthetics. The largest cake is a three tiered cake–however a bit smaller in size than “typical” wedding cakes. The cake is Read More
Wedding Cake Trends for 2012
Take my opinion for what it’s worth. I am not a cake artist or a fashion forecaster (a real job…did you know that?) However, I have been knee deep in cake batter for the last year AND I consider myself a fairly trendy girl. Although it seems that trendy people never actually call themselves trendy…because that is so untrendy. So maybe I’m not. Whatever, I have thoughts anyway.
While I can’t see things like the ruffle and chevron patterns on cakes going away just yet, there are a few new looks we should keep our eyes on in 2012. I assume a lot of them will end up on this blog!
The Mini-Cake. It’s not a cupcake or a cake pop, it’s a full fledged cake shrunk down to size. Very Alice in Wonderland if I do say so myself.
(Note, I never consider Pinterest a source..however this image was actually uploaded by the user).
Many Cakes. You read that right. Not mini-cakes. Many cakes. On blogs and websites I am seeing more and more gorgeous pictures of a plethora of cakes. I’ve seen three to as many as ten all in various colors or sizes but they all have a common theme among them that makes them match. It’s a trend I hope we see more of.
Minimalist Wedding Cakes. I am noticing an “M” theme here. Wedding cakes are usually over the top and gorgeous. Occasionally we’ll find one with simple fondant and design but they can be pretty scarce (or eerily similiar to another cake we’ve featured). Let’s face it: there are only so many ways you can say, “This cake is white. It is also round”. Now cake artists are coming up with alternate ways to stay minimal but always pack a little punch of creativity. Like this cake that is stacked slightly off center with dark pearls (that may actually be blueberries) and an oyster shell.
I know it will be another amazing year when it comes to Wedding Cakes. Which trends are your favorite? Which trends are you ready to see go? Personally I love ’em all and can’t wait to see what other goodies are in store for us in 2012!
Happy New Year’s Day 2012!
Happy New Year’s Everyone!
We don’t know about you, but we rang in the New Year at home, but not before a nine hour drive to get back there from the in laws’ place – whew! So while we move around, and get unpacked, and find our power cord to our laptop ;-), we wish you all the very happiest of New Years. May 2012 be a year of peace, love, and prosperity for you and yours.
We will be rounding up a little later today, so keep an eye out for all the Sweet and Pretty that we can get our hands on!

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
A Look Back: Christen’s Favorite Cake Posts of 2011
Exactly one year ago today I jumped on-board this bandwagon called A Wedding Cake Blog. It’s been a great year and I have literally been up to my eyeballs in frosting ever since. I’ve talked about cupcakes, traditional cakes, very blue cakes and been introduced to Cake Pops and Mini-Cakes. I’ve over-shared..I mean really..who knew that a simple wedding cake could inspire so much random blubbering? So on the eve of the eve of the New Year I’ve decided to take a look back at my top ten favorite posts of Read More
New Year’s Cake..sort of.
So I’m wrapping up Christmas Cake Week 2011 today with this very non-Christmas cake. I know what you must be thinking. This cake has nothing to do with Christmas..Winter or even really New Years. I’m thinking a little outside of the box here so just roll with it. Focusing on the new year is all about time. Minutes, days and months pass and then a new year begins. I could get all existential here and 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

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
Winter Pine Tree Cakes
So maybe my local radio station stopped playing Christmas Carols at approximately 8 p.m. last night. I, however, am still brimming with Christmas Spirit from head to toe. So that combined with the plethora of gorgeous winter wedding cakes abound I’ve decided to continue Christmas Cake Week 2011 (CCW11 for those “in the know”). Although, this week we’ll try and focus on more Winter themed cakes Read More
