Pink Cupcakes
I often ask myself…”Why do cupcakes only come with one color frosting?”
Okay, I don’t really ask myself that. However, I will from this day forward, after seeing these chocolate cupcakes with multi-colored frosting little beauties. It’s subtle enough that you have to look closely… Read More
Summertime Cake
Scream it with me…summer…Summer…SUMMER!!!!!!
The ice cream truck has been circling my neighborhood, the kids are out of school, and the weather is just a touch below 100 degrees everyday here in South Carolina. After a long, snowy winter during which I stared at my neighbor’s Christmas decorations from November to the end of FEBRUARY, I welcome the heat. For a little while at least. By July, Read More
Book Wedding Cake
Now here is an original idea. This couple decided that instead of a traditional wedding cake they would make a cake that represent a stack of books. More importantly a stack of books that were significant to the bride and groom. The stack includes Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury, The Man Who Was Thursday by G.K. Chesterton, The Bromeliad Triology by Terry Pratchett and Just So Stories by Rudyard Kipling. This is the point where I pretend I have heard of all of those books and throw out some fancy literary words Read More

Philadelphia Wedding Cake
I’ll admit I don’t know much about Philadelphia. Rocky, cheese steak sandwiches, and that it’s where the Fresh Prince was born and raised. (And spent most of his days on the playground from what I hear).
Another thing I know about Philadelphia is that is home to the LOVE statue. You know the one.I learned something new about Philadelphia today. Robert Indiana’s LOVE sculpture and the city of Philadelphia inspired this gorgeous wedding cake. This three tiered Read More
