Green, Pink and Bunting Flag Cake
I’ve been pretty down and out on pink and green as of late. In fact I think I had pretty much shunned the idea of the pink and green color combo in all aspects of my life. Seeing the colors together made me want to scream out words like, “dunzo”, “passe”, “that’s so 2009″.
Ahem, now go ahead. Ask me what my wedding colors were. Pink and green. Oh yeah.
I have a secret. Today I have fallen back Read More
Yellow and Green Wedding Cake
I love when I find a cake that is like nothing else I’ve never seen before. After awhile all cakes start to resemble one another and I like to throw in an eclectic cake just to keep it interesting.
The originality in this cake comes with the coloring. I cannot remember Read More
Pink Swirl Cake
You may have heard a whisper of my love for all things including Pink Gerbera Daisies. If I am Jerry Maguire than Gerbera Daisies are my Renee Zellweger. You know, back when she could completely open her eye lids. They complete me.
Side note, SO many once good but Read More
Wedding Cake Trends for 2011
So seven months into 2011 I think it’s time we talk trends baby. Cake trends that is. Because let’s face it..I am always behind on clothing trends. I try so hard but oh my goodness how do I love a pony-tail and cardigans..I am so boring that way. However, cake trends? I think I got it.
Since I’ve been blogging about wedding cakes five days a week for the last seven months I have begun to take notice of the good, the awesome, and the coveted of wedding cake designs. There are lots of fun options that you can do with your wedding cake. 2011 has definitely been a wedding season of sweet, pretty, and creative. Here are just a few things that I am digging as we make our way into the last five months of 2011.
Double It Up
The Double Height Tier is probably my favorite trend this year. It’s a pretty simple concept: take a simple three-tier round cake and add height to one of the tiers. It gives the cake height and an asymmetrical quality that takes it from a normal cake to a spectacular one. Traditionally a cake tier is anywhere from 3-4 inches tall. To achieve the double height the baker simply adds Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 24, 2011
Hiya!
So…how are you keeping cool during this scorcher of a summer? We’re fanning and heading to the beach and drinking plenty of iced tea. And while summer is scorching the rest of you, it’s just plain ole’ normal hot here in Florida.
But the heat hasn’t stopped the deliciousness that is a summer full of weddings. We’ve seen some Read More
Champagne Wedding Cake
Some cakes are stunning in their detail. Some are breathtaking in the display of the baker’s skill. And some are flat out…adorable.
This, Ladies and Gentleman, is an adorable cake.
The label adorable is by no means slander. It’s perfect in every detail. Not a wrinkle in the fondant. Not a twinkle out of place in the fountain-y, sparkly, headdress-y cake topper. It really is perfect.
But I use adorable Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Robot Cake Toppers
Domo arigato Mr. Roboto. Thank you very much oh Mr. Roboto for bringing me this cake topper when I needed it.
Yes! Robot Cake Toppers! I’ve got to admit…I’ve making an effort to step outside of the box on Cake Topper Friday and I am loving what I am finding. Because in all honesty a girl can only feature a Read More
Ruffled Mini-Cakes
It may just be me..but ruffles are becoming my new thing. Move over pearls and monograms..I think I have a new favorite wedding cake trend. Sweet, perfect buttercream ruffles.
Yum.
These sweet treats were created by Rose at Sweetopolita. Go have a look at her website and you will be hooked–everything is just Read More
Vintage Handstamped Wedding Cake Server
I adore when I find new Etsy shops. I told the husband a few weeks ago that I have an Etsy and thrift store obsession. He told me he preferred the latter because it’s much cheaper until I came home with a huge plate that said “Kansas” and had a bunch of different pictures of Kansas on it. I have never been to Read More
Saving the Top Tier
Weddind Day: October 7th, 2006. That top tier didn't make it to see October 8th.
I have a secret to admit. As much as I honor tradition in a wedding I did not save the top tier of my wedding cake. If you had a camera in my honeymoon suite you would have seen my brand new husband and I chowing down on our top tier in full wedding gear about ten seconds after we finished jumping up and down on the bed.
Most brides can handle their sweet tooth and post-reception hunger pangs better than I can and they Read More
