Classic White Round Fondant Cake
On my first day of graduate school I didn’t know a soul. By the end of the day I had two brand new friends and a date for sushi later in the week. One of those friends was named Bea and she was the first person I’d ever met that owned more than one piece of Chanel. Not just the kind of Chanel that I had (that my cousin bought me off the streets of NYC from a guy named Paco) but the real kind. Her collection not only included a purse but sunglasses and a pair of shoes. The good thing about Bea was that she wouldn’t rub it in your face. If you asked her if it was real she would tell you that it was but other than that she was pretty low-key about the whole Chanel thing. Another cool thing about Read More
Fondant or Fon-don’t
To fondant or to fon-don’t. That is indeed the question.
I was originally going to call this post Fon-do or Fon-don’t: The Truth about Fondant, but then all I could think about was dipping various things in chocolate…or cheese. Or both. So I switched it. I think it’s much more socially acceptable Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 26, 2011
Boys and Girls – the cruise was awesome! Three days and nights of beaches, clear, turquoise water, cocktails, and pampering – and not a child in sight! (well, not a child of mine in sight, anyway.) It was truly a magical time, bonding with the girls, having a good time relaxing, and recharging.
So, back to life, back to reality this week. But not for long, as I head to one of Florida’s premiere Read More

Another Cheese. Cake.
You read that right. It’s another cheese period cake period.
When we first posted this back in December I thought it would be the only one we’d ever see. Then the very next month I found this cake, and I had to face the SHOCKING revelation that not all people like cake. Who knew?
Well here we are, almost six months later, and I have found yet another cake made entirely of cheese. Is it just me or do they get more gorgeous every time we find a new one? The next one we find will be like Read More
Traditional Cake with Lenox Cinderella Topper
Let’s take a break from the nontraditional cheese cakes of recent times and go back to an old school classic wedding cake. This is a round, four tiered cake with a cream colored butter cream icing. The deep purple ribbon around the base gives it a pop of color and the three purple and white roses add a splash of sophistication.
My favorite part of this cake is the adorable Read More

Cake versus Cupcake: The Smackdown
In this corner we have the traditional wedding cake. The modern wedding cake was introduced in the 20th century and the tiered wedding cake became popular in 1902.
In the other corner we have the cupcake. The cupcake can actually be traced back to 1796…over one hundred years before the first modern wedding cake. Their popularity at weddings only happened in the 2000’s as cupcakes became trendy. According to Wikipedia, the cupcakes first gained publicity in 2001 after Magnolia Bakery in New York City was featured on an episode of Sex and the City. Thank YOU Carrie Bradshaw.
A dilemma many modern brides are having is the great debate between cupcake versus cake. Which one do you choose?
Well, let me break it down for you:
