Groom’s Cake: Ice Cream and Cake and Cake

Ice Cream Cake

Two things that go together in my book..ice cream and cake. Oh yes.

While it may be next to impossible to have an ice cream wedding cake (frozen fondant..yuck) let’s give the boys what they want and have an Ice Cream Groom’s Cake. Check out this pretty Chocolate Ice Cream Groom’s Cake. It’s a simple cake, as most groom’s cakes tend to be, but check out how it is garnished in whip cream and chocolate chips. Yummy. How could Read More

Silhouette Cake

IMG_2125

I’m a woman of many hats. I’m a mom, wife, blogger, teacher, sewer and DIYer. There are lots of things I like to do..and I spend lots of time on the interwebs looking for inspiration (lesson plans, sewing patterns, house decorating). Some might say too much time.
Recently I saw everyone talking about the Pinterest website. It took me a few weeks and then after a gentle nudge from my friend AJ at the Disney Food Blog I requested my invite. A few days ago I got my official invitation and it’s been ALL downhill from there. There are wedding cakes ALL over that piece.

I have scoured pages & pages of wedding cakes. From big wedding websites, to small bakeries they are tons and tons and tons of cakes and I cannot wait to start featuring my favorites. So I am going to start here.. Read More

Red Poppy Cake

Poppy Cake

Poppies make me happy…real or fake. So this cake, made by the talented Anne Heap at Pink Cake Box, undoubtedly makes me happy. (Side note, I also have a friend who recently named her daughter Poppy…which has thus inspired this Poppy-themed post).

Sweet and simple, this two-tiered round cake keeps it minimalistic with a smooth, white buttercream frosting and dark chocolate piping at the base. The red poppies give this cake a little pinch of modern. It’s a nice alternative to fondant Read More

White Cake with Chocolate Scroll Work, Take Two!

Wedding at The Springdale House and Garden

You’re not dreaming. I believe it was just last week when I said that I had never seen a light cake with chocolate designs before. Well, if I had a hat I’d eat it.

It was also last week that I declared my love for hot pink gerbera daisies (again).

This week all my dreams have come true. Because here is a white

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 15, 2011

Peach wedding cakes

Spring Showers are bringing May flowers, and I don’t know about where you are, but we’re already hitting the hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer here in the Southeast.  Oof, I would like spring back, please.

But no complaints.  Hot weather means a slowdown to work, and taking some time off – unless you’re in the wedding industry, that is.

In looking around this week, we’re just astounded at the beauty and talent that surrounds us.  There has never, ever been a better time to plan Read More

Stunning Pink Wedding Cake

Stunning Pink wedding cake

Did you ever see a wedding cake, and think, “Stop.  This is the one.  The rest of the cakes can just go home.”

This is such a cake.

I spied this cake in a beautiful photojournal of a Southern California wedding, held at Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu, California.  The wedding and reception were both held Read More

Butterfly Cake with Nest Topper

Final Cake: portrait details 4

I’ll admit I am totally into DIY house projects. I am always painting, sanding, or replacing something. It’s something I totally enjoy and my husband tolerates. But nothing makes me want to throw things at him more than when we are working on tough project together.

Never…would I ever…be able to bake and construct Read More

Save Ten Percent on Personalized M&Ms!

m&m

Okay, so…m&ms are not the same thing as cake. I have not gone off my rocker. However, last spring I went to a wedding where the bride and groom gave out personalized m&ms as their wedding favor. Did it freak me out that I was chomping down on a candy coated shell with my friend’s face plastered on it? Absolutely not. Because..hello, they are m&ms, People. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.

I thought it was an adorable way to send your guests home with a tasty treat. Rather than just throwing together coordinated wedding colors (pink and green per usual), you can also include pictures, sayings, and special dates. Of course, we all know these can work in a million different ways, not just for for weddings. Bridal Showers, Read More

Oh wait:  let’s throw on a gorgeous dark brown (I’m assuming chocolate which… Read More
