Cake Topper Thursday: Cake Poms!

cakepoms

**I know I usually do Cake Topper Friday..but these Cake Poms kind of rock my face so hard that they had to be shown on a Thursday**

Cake Poms make me happy.  For real.

In particular these Cake Poms make me happy.  Perhaps this is from my days as a cheerleader and anything “pom” related makes me want to shake what my momma gave me to old school jams like Achy Break Heart and Down With O.P.P. Highly inappropriate for elementary school girls by the way.  These poms aren’t Bulldog Green and White…but they could be if you wanted.  Made by Potter and Butler out of Portland, Oregon, these Read More

Oreo Cake

oreo

I saw this on Pinterest a few months ago and I pinned it but never thought of it again.  In fact I had convinced myself that I already blogged about this just cake and just spent about 15 minutes looking through the archives just to check.  I didn’t and I kind of shocked myself.

An Oreo cake.  Seriously…where is the milk?  Because I am ready to twist and dunk thank you very much.

Surely the creator of this amazing creation must be touched by an angel.  That is true if you consider that the creator of this cake is Kevin Sharkey…who, by the way, Read More

Peacock Cupcake

peacock2

This is one of the the fanciest cupcake that I have ever laid my eyes upon.  I can’t even imagine the work that went into this.  The amount of time it would take to make a slew of these for a wedding might be a little bit insane…however, I could totally see it as a big cupcake for the top of a cupcake tower…can’t you?  Or maybe even a few of these peacock cupcakes amongst a bunch of teal cupcakes, like the one that makes up the body.

Either way I found this cupcake on Pinterest and I knew it must be blogged about.  The Read More

Mickey Mouse Cupcakes

mickeycupcakes

In case you didn’t know Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Park celebrated its 40th birthday on Saturday, October 1st.  It’s no secret that we kind of sort of LOVE Disney World around here.  While I couldn’t be there to celebrate I sat at home and threw dirty looks in the direction of all the tweets I was reading from friends who were visiting the parks that day.  I decided to honor the most magical place on earth in my own little way… Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for October 2, 2011

floral_wedding_cake_topper

SERIOUSLY. Where did the year go and how is it October??

I know that’s goofily unoriginal.  But when I typed that title just now, I was all, like…whoa.  And I’m not a like whoa kinda girl.

This has been a fantastic year for us here at A Wedding Cake Blog…and we’re just getting started!  In a little under a year, we’ve met such warm and generous people in the World of Wedding.  We’re regularly blown away Read More

Zen-Inspired Wedding Cake

Zen Cake

I super need some Zen today.

I am running a half marathon tonight – my first ever race, and I pick a half marathon – and I’m a little nervous about it.  My poor family.  I’ve been a little on the crabby side this week.

But then I remembered that I had this lovely, Zen-inspired cake tucked away in my “favorites” file for just the right time…and lo and behold, here it is.  Just the right time.

Just looking at this cake calms me the heck down. 

Isn’t it elegant?  Four tiers, trimmed in black, Read More

Cake Topper Friday: Gumpaste Bride and Groom

gumpaste

It always amazes me what cake artists can do with a little gumpaste.  Seriously.  Have you ever seen that stuff before it’s carved and molded into something like this?  It’s not exactly the easiest substance to work with.  How it goes from a lump of white stuff to this I’ll never know.  I guess that’s why I just write about cakes instead of making them.

But go ahead and check out the new Mr. & Mrs. on top of this gorgeous pink cake.  The bride and groom are carved to cartoonish perfection – perfect to add a little bit of fun to the top of your wedding cake.  I also love the cake that they sit on Read More

Purple and Gold Wedding Cake

purple

There is a small college in my town and their colors are purple and gold.  Every Saturday during football season I see cars and people covered head to toe in purple and gold.  This cake is for them…and anyone else who likes purple and gold.

I love, love, love the deep purple almost eggplant-y flowers.  A few years ago my best friend, who loves purple, was getting married and I desperately tried to convince her to let us wear eggplant-colored dresses.  This may have been selfish because I was going to be eight months pregnant at the time of her wedding and wanted a slimming color.  For some reason Read More

Big Huge Harrod’s Cake

harrods

Oh hi, guess what?  It’s our 300th post!  No big deal right?

Big deal to me!  Granted I know I haven’t written all 300 of them myself…we’ve got to give a big shout out to Brooke who takes the weekend shift and creates a great round up…(not to mention fixing all of my grammatical errors)…but to me it’s still a pretty big deal.  Basically because I never got past January 13th in my diaries that I swore I’d write in every day on December 31st.

Much like the fact that this is our 300th post, this cake is a BIG deal.  I mean literally.  Check it out.  It’s HUGE.  It’s a five-tier Read More

Winter Themed Cake

nutcracker

Okay, here are two things that I am painfully aware of.

1. It is not in any way shape or form winter.

2. I know that this cake is not exactly a wedding cake..but a Nutcracker-themed cake made in celebration of a production of The Nutcracker.

Yet, here I sit, ready to get my Nutcracker on in the middle of September.  Oh well.  Because I adore this-six tiered creation that pays homage to all things Snowflake, Gum Drop, Sugar Plum and oh yes, I believe those are little tiny purple mice.  True story, I was in The Nutcracker in the fourth Read More
