Anemones Cake

anemones

Anemones: a species of plant in the buttercup family. Also known as a Japanese wildflower.
I had no idea what those were so I had to look that up. I figured I’d help out any others who weren’t born with a green thumb. I may not have known what they were but put them on a cake…….aaaaahhh-mazing!

I love this cake. Adore it even. It’s sweet, simple, Read More

Prince Albert and Charlene Whittstock Wedding Cake

prince albert

So it might not be the fairytale of William and Kate but I have to admit I love a good royal wedding.

On Saturday, Prince Albert II married Charlene Whittstock in a religious ceremony in Monaco.  The two had a civil ceremony on Friday, July 1.  Charlene Whittstock is a former Olympian.  She competed for South Africa in the 4 x 100 meter medley and her team placed fifth.  I probably watched it because I am sort of an Olympic-a-holic.  There were several high profile guest such as Naomi Campbell and Karl Lagerfeld.  Other than his brief appearance on an episode of The Girls Next Door you probably recognize Prince Albert as Read More

Sometimes the Groom Gets A Cake Too…

tuxedo

Brides generally fall into two categories when it comes to the groom’s cake.

Category One: Of course I am getting a groom’s cake, duh.
Or..
Category Two: What the heck is a groom’s cake and why do I need one?

Well, I am here to dispel a myth–you do not need a groom’s cake under any circumstance but there are a few reasons why you might want one. The main reason that brides seem to go with these days is to offer an alternative to the brides cake. However, with the cakes having the ability to be Read More

Beachin’ It

It’s the truth.  I wish I was like every other person in South Carolina and celebrating this gorgeous long weekend at the beach.  However, we bought a new house this year so the beach vacation got sliced from the budget.

This makes me happy most of the time but now that it’s hot and people are out shooting Read More

Patriotic Wedding Cake

july4th

Happy July 4th to my fellow Americans! If you are not American..well..then Happy Monday!

Let’s start this 4th of July off right with a little bit of patriotism..in the form of edible baked goods.

It may surprise you to know that I did not go digging for this cake. I was looking for something theme-y but did not think that I would be able to find a wedding cake that was classy and patriotic. My friends it can be done..as seen here. This couple took a traditional round cake and gave it a little American flare by draping a fondant American flag around the cake. What is that to the left you ask? Well I do believe it is some sort of Read More

Ron Ben-Israel cake

Greetings from Captiva, Florida!  I am here, just off the southwest coast of Florida, taking a much-needed (and deserved :-) ) break with my little family.  And what a beautiful place this is!  We love Captiva and neighboring Sanibel.  If you’re looking for a great getaway spot, and you favor family-friendly, gracious, and low key, I can’t say enough good things about Sanibel and Captiva!  But I digress!

As usual, beautiful things are afoot in the world of wedding.  Pretty trends and Read More

Stunning Indian Inspired Cake

Indian Inspired Wedding Cake

There are cakes.  And then there are cakes.

The first time I saw this cake, I immediately became a convert to all things bright and colorful.

Jasmine Clouser of The Couture Cakery is truly an artist.  Her cakes are detailed beyond belief and perfectly capture the mood of the moment.  In this case, the bride and groom were married in a traditional Indian wedding ceremony at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  The room where the ceremony was held was transformed into the reception spot as well.

After the ceremony, the bride, Meera, changed Read More

Cake Topper Friday: Birds Nest Topper

cake topper

Oh yes..another bird related cake topper.

This one though..is a birds nest. A real live on. Well..I guess technically birds nest aren’t “living” so to speak, but it’s a real one. Made by birds. The bride got this one from her work and filled in with Spanish Moss and decorated the nest with cream speckled eggs..which I don’t think are real..and colorful butterflies. Those are fake.

We’ve actually featured this cake before in this post however, I figured it was so unique and special it deserved a post all its own.

What homemade cake toppers have you seen? What kind of topper do you like better: handmade like the bicycle riders I featured a few weeks ago, store bought like this Lenox figurine we featured last week or homemade by the bride like is featured here?

Good thing I love them…right?
There is so much to talk about with this cake I am having trouble deciding where to begin…so let’s just start with the facts. This is a four tier cake. The tiers have an alternating diamond pattern while the other layers are smooth and clean fondant. The top tier has an intricate swirl design and is topped with a gorgeous Read More

Now bakers are starting to take it to the next level and produce fondant covered cupcakes. Like these red velvet ones that the Read More
