Polka Dots and Roses Cake
This cake could be any of a dozen…except for those adorable polka dots.
It caught my eye initially because of its perfection – this cake artist knows his (or her) stuff when it comes to smoothing buttercream and adding swirly cues. Four stacked layers, decorated simply with buttercream, white on white, and a trim of wide, satin navy ribbon. To top it, the flower nosegay that crowns the cake is just lovely. But what really Read More
Pink Vanilla Cotton Candy Cake
Really…do we ever outgrow our love of pink cotton candy? I think not.
I have never seen a cake that made me want to trip right out in my mary janes, in my pink gingham dress, and play paper dolls. This cake is fantastic! And we have Heather at Sprinkle Bakes to thank for the brilliance of it.
Really…this cake would be absolutely perfect for a small wedding…or a bridesmaids’ luncheon…or a Tuesday afternoon.
I think we need party dresses and Champagne to go with it, yes?

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for March 20, 2011
Fuchsia and White Wedding Cake
I love when a plan comes together. And today’s cake is an example of just that.
This lovely cake is the beautiful work of Kristin from Fat Girl Cakes in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Kristin tells me that the bride for this wedding wasn’t quite sure what she would like in terms of a cake. When they met, Kristin flipped through a book of cakes for inspiration, and the bride mentioned that she loved one of the display cakes as well. She seemed to gravitate toward cakes that featured bright colors…and that’s all Kristin needed to get the creative ball rolling here.
So…where does the “plan come together” Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sugar Paste Flower Monogram
We’re seeing lots and lots of monograms of late in connection with weddings…and I, for one, am not complaining. I love, love monograms (which, if you knew me, would not surprise you in the least.)
Lately, though, most of the monograms have been in the form of a placard on the side of the cake – a classic detail that I fall in love with all over again everytime I see it. Another option – the swooshy rhinestone jobby on the top of the cake. Sparkles and pretty. Perfection.
But – ever in search of something new and just a little different Read More
White Wedding Cake with Green Mums
Ah, the elusive…green flower.
The what? Yes. The green flower. Rare, and a little strange, but always beautiful.
You can find green-hued flowers in varieties such as geraniums and orchids. But wait, this isn’t a botany blog, is it?
I love this cake. My love of white on white cakes was discussed last month here and here. And today, I find another example of a white on white cake, with just a little punch of unexpected color, via green flowers. The simple mums encircle the base of the top tier Read More
Yellow Blossom Wedding Cake
So, we’ve seen many cherry blossom wedding cakes of late. But until now, I hadn’t seen yellow blossoms…and I am in love.
This cake, covered in fondant (ohso appropriate for the casual elegant outdoor reception), is trimmed with a meandering branch that spans all three layers. Daintily perched on the branch are pale yellow blossoms Read More
Pink Bow Tie
Cupcakes are probably the Lord’s perfect food. I’ve accepted that fact. For weddings, most cupcakes are dolled up with mile high buttercream frosting and look adorable to boot. Sometimes though…you just need a pretty cupcake layered in chocolate ganache.
Yum.
These adorable cupcakes are frosted with a thin layer of ganache and topped with a gorgeous light pink bow. I also think the random pink cupcake with the chocolate bow tie on the bottom tier is adorable Read More
Vintage Birdcage Cake
I’m all kinds of in love with Victoria Made. I knew it after we featured this cake and then this one. She is a goddess of gorgeous vintage style cakes.
This is a gorgeous separated two tier wedding cake with vintage inspired white roses between the two tiers. The cakes are covered in smooth white fondant and have a gorgeous fondant floral Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for August 28, 2011
Happy Sunday, Everyone!
We’re in sort of a holding pattern here today…anyone else? We’re talkin’ ’bout that time of year when kiddoes go back to school, but Labor Day hasn’t happened yet…so in your brain, you’re thinking brisk weather, polished and shiny apples for the teacher, and penny loafers…but on the news, you’re seeing summery things like hurricanes and picnic preparations. It’s all so confusing.
So…if you’re like me, and you’d really like a respite for your tired, overworked brain, check out some of the latest from the World of Wedding. We’ve gone in search of all the Sweet and Pretty Read More
