White Wedding Cake with Pink Peonies

Addy B Pink Peony White Cake

Blame it on the heat, or possibly overstimulation.  But lately, I’ve been craving posts about white wedding cakes.

Color is fun, color is fab, and color will probably be the star of my next post.  But the other day, as I was writing a guest post for another loverly blog (more about that later!), I began to search our catalog of cakes for a white cake.  And I couldn’t find one.

Now, there’s a lot of talk out there about “boring white wedding cakes.”  I suppose that, if you’re a baker and you’re stuck making white cake after white cake, that would get a little, you know, mind-numbing.  But sometimes, Read More

Rice Krispie Cake

I think I’m just going to have to stop and let you process the picture of this bad boy for a minute.  Go ahead.  I’ll wait.

Done?  Awesome sauce.

I’m not going to lie. I might have shouted an obscene word and did a high kick when I saw this cake. I stopped short at finger guns. You’re welcome.

Since it’s my 30th birthday and now that I am 30 I make apologies to no man and I do what I want when I want because I’m thirty and I Read More

Nerd Cakes

sceience

I have a little problem. It’s called Pinterest. I have another problem. I’m a big old nerd.

I can actually hide it pretty well but once I get rolling about Harry Potter, Angry Birds, Twilight or anything else remotely nerd-tastic, I cannot be stopped. So today I have decided to embrace my inner-nerd and post a bunch of FUN Nerd-inspired cakes that I found via Pinterest. Why, you ask? Because today, August 15th, 2011, is the last day of my twenties. Tomorrow I Read More

Lattice Buttercream Wedding Cake with Mickey and Minnie Cake Topper

Lattice Mickey Minnie Wedding Cake

Today on the blog, we’re getting an extra dose of adorable.  And moreover, we’re seeing adorable done right, which is even better.

Check out this absolutely precious cake.  This four-tiered beauty was the star of the show at Melissa and Heath’s wedding, which took place in 2006.  The couple had never been to Disney before going together while they were dating…and they were instantly hooked on the magic.  They even considered getting married at Walt Disney World, but opted for a hometown wedding, and a cake that served as an homage to their favorite vacay Read More

BHLDN Store Opening

Every fashionista with a job has either been in or virtually shopped at an Anthropologie…right?  If you haven’t just go ahead and click that link..and see how your brain explodes.  But before you click…be warned:  Anthropologie is a sickness.  Once you discover it you will find yourself with a virtual shopping cart filled with ridiculous things like porcelain egg crates for twenty dollars that you are SO convinced that you need because it just looks SO gorgeous in the picture.  Then it gets to your house and it’s an egg crate..made of glass and you think “what the crap am I going to do with that?  I don’t even buy eggs”.  So there.  I’ve established my warning.  Shop at your own risk.

Did you know that Anthropologie Read More

Macaroon Cake

Last month when I talked to you about wedding cake alternatives I mentioned a Macaroon Tower.  I never..ever imagine anything as gorgeous as this.  Sure, sure the lighting combined with the sparklers and an obvious genius behind the lens made this macaroon tower seem extra magical..but I am totally considering a Macaroon Tower at my next event.  And I don’t Read More

And with that let’s go ahead and
