Posted on December 4, 2011 by Brooke

HOW is it already December?

I ask that for a couple of reasons. First off, HOLY COW, I HAVE A LOT OF PLANNING TO DO! Shopping, baking, wrapping, mailing! I’m not sure why I’m accusing Christmas of sneaking up on me. Clearly, the fault lies in my lap, not the calendar’s.

But I’m also just completely amazed that we’ve been at this for a year! Well, a little over a year, but I didn’t come on board until January, so it’s feeling like my anniversary is coming up.

Wow – can I just stop and gush for a minute, and Read More

White Ruffle Cake

We’re apparently in good company when it comes to ruffle love!

You saw our terrific Ruffle Week 2011 last month, yes? With cascading ruffles, ombre ruffles, and even white chocolate ruffles. Sigh. We’re still kind of pretty-drunk from it all.

But lo and behold, MORE ruffles poured in! Tasha Nagy from Kick Ass Cakes in Fraser Valley, British Columbia sent me this sweet and pretty cake because she knows we are OBSESSED! Seriously! Ruffles! Pearls! Flowers! All White! It’s like Tasha made Read More

Do you remember last week when I posted our first Star Wars themed wedding cake and I commented on how long it took us to do so?

Well, I must be making up for lost time because I died when I saw these cake toppers and I knew they had to be featured! This cake features a Hans Solo and Princess Leia bobble-heads as their toppers. While I’m not exactly a Star Wars nut, the bobble-heads as a topper concept is not lost on me. There is a lot you could do here. You could use your favorite sports team bobble-heads, or is there another Read More

This cake is simply gorgeous. It takes Read More

Bride of Chuckie Wedding Cake

Yup.

This is happening. I was a little disturbed that I found this after Halloween. This would have made a great addition to my week of Halloween themed cakes. However, I sadly found it just a few weeks after Halloween and holding on to it for next year would have been smart. Sadly, I just couldn’t keep this to myself.

I had to share.

Chuckie and his err..um..gorgeous? wife sit on top of this cake that pays homage to all things crawly with spiders and blood drippings on the top tier and a creepy Read More

Alice in Wonderland Inspired Petit Fours

Alice in Wonderland-themed weddings have hit an all-time high this year.

No seriously, I’m not kidding. I’ve seen high-end themed weddings that would BLOW your minds and homespun adorable themed weddings that are just, well, adorable. Much like these petit fours. Down south we just call these “cake squares” but a petit four can actually be a small macaroon, cake or a baked meringue. I love how these petit fours are actually covered in sweet pastel colors like pink, Read More

Hand-Piped Poem Cake

Even though I am a teacher, my undergraduate major was Theatre. I never actually wanted to be an actress or anything. My initial plan was to teach Drama…which I eventually did…but then many years later have ended up teaching 2nd & 3rd grade…where, coincidentally, we have plenty of drama.

Anyway, my point is that for part of my graduating performance, I had to present a poem as a monologue. I chose i carry your heart by e.e. cummings. It seemed appropriate. I had just started dating my future husband a few months before and I was about to graduate (he was not) and move to Read More

Dark Red Roses Cake

Well, by now you know that we are all about the seasons around here. But sometimes it’s nice to see an expression of seasons in a way that isn’t so typical. Take autumn, for instance. You think autumn wedding cake, your mind automatically goes to colored leaves. But here’s another take on the colors of fall: rich red roses.

It was love at first sight when I saw this cake. The simple buttercream finish is trimmed with a wide, black ribbon, elegant scrollwork, and the most beautiful deep red roses. For an interesting contrast, the roses are paired with orchids. You would never think, “I know, I’ll put orchids and roses Read More
