Pink Roses Wedding Cake
I love pink roses. They are my second favorite flower…next to the gerbera daisy. I got married in October and when I met with my florist I said, “I want gerbera daisies,” and he said, “Change your wedding day and we have a deal!”
Apparently October is not the idea time for daisies. Who knew?
And so I settled for roses. I guess this really wasn’t so much settling as I do love roses as well. I told him I really didn’t care as long as they were pink. “What about hot pink?” he said. From that moment on my world was rocked and I was in love Read More

And the Oscar for “Best Cake Featured at a Wedding” Goes to..
Fiona Cairns.
Duh.
Late Friday afternoon while I was still at work, my partner in crime all things Wedding Cake sends me a link with the picture of the most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen.
The cake was eight tiers-tall, and Fiona Cairns and her team spent five weeks prepping for the event. We already know the innards of the cake were traditional English fruit cake. Seriously, I need to get to England and try some of this “fruit cake” because the only fruit cake I’ve ever had comes wrapped in red saran wrap at Christmastime and tastes like…well… Read More

Christen and I tweeted and texted and Facebooked with our best girlfriends from all over, as we all enjoyed the elegant spectacle.
Now, we’re sure to have Read More

But while the adorable figures perched atop the cake, decorated in beautiful and vivid pearlized hues, are striking, it was the other trim and the configuration that really Read More
