Orange and White ‘Double Happiness’ Cake with Anemones
I heart this cake. Majorly.
Okay, with the “majorly” I majorly showed my age just now.
So, this is another fantastic cake from Shawna at Flourish Cakes. We have been working to get this one up for sometime between the two of us. But she had sick kiddoes, and I ran off to the wilds of West Virginia and well…here we are.
I thought this cake was breathtaking the first time I saw it. Its simplicity, the clean lines, the East-meets-West feel, the, I don’t know, crispness Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Big Gulp Topper
Never have I ever seen a cake topper feature a 7-11 Big Gulp. I am not here to judge…just to report the facts…and this cake does indeed feature a…Big Gulp.
Okay, Big Gulpiness aside it is adorable. This gumpaste cake topper features the happy bride and groom getting ready for a ball game. The bride is holding a baseball while the groom is ready with his bat and glove. This would be a great topper for a fun loving baseball couple.
What do you think? Can you get past the Big Gulp Read More
Big Strawberry Cupcake Cake
Yum.
Check. it. out. An extra large cupcake is ALWAYS okay with Christen. That’s for sure. Pile it high with delicious buttercream icing. Yes please. Oh, what’s that you say? You want to surround it with normal sized cupcakes and top them with chocolate covered strawberries?
Thump. That was me hitting the floor Read More
Inspired Cakes
Sometimes inspiration for cakes can come from the funniest places. These cakes were created by Sweet Face Cakesin Nashville, Tennessee. The black and white cake was inspired by a shirt that the cake designer saw being worn by Mila Kunis. The pink and gold cake drew inspiration from her grandmother’s brooch. If you look closely Read More
‘Dr. Who’ Police Box Groom’s Cake
I hope that your Halloween candy induced sugar high did not end up here last night. And by here I mean the slammer…because that’s what is featured on this grooms cake. Or, well I guess technically it’s a Police Box? I had no idea what that is. So I had to get my research on.
I turned to my old friend Wikipedia to discover that Police Boxes are actually just that. A Police Station in a box. They are set up all over Great Britian and basically any member of the police force or the community can go in and get in touch Read More
Halloween Cakes
Halloween is my second favorite holiday of the year. It’s a close second to Christmas…but that’s not really a fair comparison though. I mean Christmas lasts from November 1st to January 1st…basically. Halloween gets a good solid week of celebration but it’s such a FUN celebration. One day (or two or three if you happen to be extremely popular and get invited to multiple parties) a year you get to abandon yourself and pretend to be someone (or something) else for just a little while. Did you know that Halloween weddings are actually more popular than Christmas weddings? It’s true. I looked it up in this big book I have in my living room Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for October 30, 2011
I’m sorry. Did you say there is snow on your jack o’ lantern? Sounds like I got back from my picturesque jaunt up north just in time.
I jest, though. Truth is, I’d love to see some of the white stuff, and introduce my kiddoes to it as well. True Florida babies, they’ve never seen snow outside of pictures. But, well, it’s just so darn early. I hope, for the sake of my dear friends who are brushing and scraping their windshields, that the October snow isn’t a harbinger of a particularly Read More

Pinwheel Wedding Cake
Oh, how I love navy and yellow!
And pinwheels on top of that? YES!
This adorable wedding, featuring lots of my two favorite colors, used in super-creative ways, was the brainchild of Be Inspired PR, and was featured on Wedding Chicks. The beautiful, white, fondant-covered cake is decorated at the base with buttercream dots. But the real focal point is the cascade of yellow and blue pinwheels that trim the side.
This lovely cake was made by Patti Cakes Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Mission Impossible Wedding Cake Topper
Well. We’ve almost been around this corner of the interwebs for almost a year…it’s about time I posted a picture of a cake topper with guns don’t you think?
Why not? I’m not an action flick kind of girl. However, I can get down with an appreciation for a genre. Especially when there is a story involved. Apparently the bride and groom whom this cake topper belonged to planned and executed their wedding within 5 months. Thereby making it their Mission: Possible. That’s pretty hardcore considering Read More
Blue and Yellow Cake
I love fresh color combinations and this blue and yellow is one of them.
Blue and yellow is a combo that can go drastically wrong though. At times if the blue is too dark or the yellow is too gold it can come off a bit “sports fan”. Unless, you are specifically having those colors at your wedding because you are indeed the worlds biggest fan of whatever team you love..well then. True story, I once went to a wedding of a friend who was such a big Clemson fan that she had her wedding in purple and orange. We don’t have much here in South Carolina but we love our college football.
Back to blue and yellow..particularly this blue and yellow. I love. The blue is just light enough and the yellow is bright and sunshiny. It makes me thing of Spring. I love the yellow roses too. I know they traditionally mean friendship..but who cares..they are so fun! What do you think? Do you love blue and yellow? Do you know someone who had a sports team themed wedding? Was it well done or over the top tacky?
