Alice in Wonderland Cake
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Alice in Wonderland. I am also a fan of Alice in Wonderland weddings. I mean have you ever seen some of these magical Alice-themed weddings that Disney has put on? Ah-mazing. We’ve featured a couple of Alice in Wonderland-themed treats here and here on A Wedding Cake Blog in fact. I’ve even seen some non-Disney weddings that have been breathtaking. There is just something about the story that is just so whimsical that allows for a gorgeous backdrop.
Enter this amazing cake made by Karen Portaleo the Sugar Artist (what a cool title, yes?) from Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia. I mean seriously–let’s get Read More
Combination Wedding and Groom’s Cake
This cake caught my interest on Pinterest. Why? Because I feel like it summarizes my life. I am a teacher so I spend most of my days sticky sweet and annoyingly traditional. However, every once and awhile I can easily flip to the dark side and my kids think “Hey, she’s a little nutty”.
So. That’s me. Half a traditional beautiful white cake and the other half a gorgeous chocolate groom’s cake. I have never seen a cake like this and to tell you the truth, I love it. The couple decided Read More
Christmas Cake Pops
To quote one of my very favorite Christmas movies, “Deck the harrs with bows of horry, Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra! ‘Tis the season to be jarry, Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra ra!” In case you’re missing something go ahead and tune into TBS and watch The Christmas Story for 24 hours this Christmas Eve. You’ll get it.
Since Christmas is among us I decided it’s high time we Christmas it up here on AWCB. Today I’ll be featuring my favorite Christmas cake pops from around the interwebs. Cake pops are 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
Cake Topper Friday: Simply Silhouette Wedding
I feel like I should rename this Show Stopper Friday. For realz.
This silhouette cake topper is made by Simply Silhouette Weddings and it is kind of amazing. I could be partial though because I am all about some silhouettes lately. I have seriously “pinned” every DIY silhouette tutorial on Pinterest in an effort to get one made of my son. I’ll let you know how that goes…probably not well if history plays a role. I should probably leave it to the professionals because Read More
Black and White Scroll Work Wedding Cake
Black and white is classic a la Coco Chanel…so obviously a black and white wedding cake is oozing with class and sophistication. This is a three-tiered round cake covered in white buttercream. The buttercream is covered in a gorgeous black scroll work pattern. My favorite part of this cake is the incredible black fondant bow that starts at the top of the cake, and flutters all the way down to the bottom tier. I love how it’s wrapped up like a perfect present..and I love presents!
St. Louis Cake
Meet me in St. Louis…ohh Judy Garland. I love you even though you *probably* weren’t exactly stable.
And this cake has nothing to do with Judy Garland but it has everything to do with St. Louis. Literally. The bottom tier is a St. Louis skyline and the topper is the beloved cap of the Read More
Candy Cake and Cake Stand
We are no stranger to Jenniffer from Cup A Dee Cakes. We’ve featured some of her gorgeous cakes before like this Scroll Pattern Cake and we have featured her on our Let Them Eat Cake Round Up more times than I can count.
However, we’ve never met her Read More
Turtle Wedding Cake
My best friend Robin and her husband dated for 10 years before they got married.
The Best Man, the Maid of Honor, and the Father of the Bride speeches all had the same theme.
FINALLY.
What’s that saying? Slow and steady wins the race? True…and Robin and her Read More
