Bridesmaid Cookies

Bridesmaid Cookies

True story..I struggled with a way to figure out how to ask my Bridesmaids to be in my wedding.  I wanted a cute way to do it..but I just couldn’t think of one.  Some ideas I did have?

  • A spa day..the problem..I was saving for a honeymoon..who had money for a SPA day?
  • A CD with songs that reminded me of them..the problem..I was not tech savvy.

So I ended up making a card with a cute little bride on the front and inside it said “Will you be my bridesmaid?”  Cute..yes..but nowhere near as exciting as I had wished.  When I saw these cookies by Amy Bakes I literally wished that I could hop in my time machine and go back and give these Read More

Oh my ganache!

Ganache

Does anyone else have the strong desire to just whip out your finger and dig it right into this cake until your knuckle deep in chocolate ganache or is that just me?

This three tiered circle cake is slathered in bittersweet ganache and beautiful blue fondant bands around each tier. The flowers on the top and the side just make the cake pop with color.  I have to admit I love the placement of the flowers as well.. kudos to Hana and Posy in Philadelphia, Pa.  Now that we have appropriately Read More

Valentine’s Day Cake Pops

Love Cake Pops

Happy Valentine’s Day!

I love Valentine’s Day..I always have. Even when I was a kid I would always through a Valentine’s Day themed party. I considered it my right since my birthday was in August and my friends were almost always on vacation that week. My birthday parties were usually small..but my Valentine’s Day parties..well they were legendary. They are still spoken about in hushed, reverent tones..

Stormtrooper Wedding Cake Topper

stormtrooper wedding cake toppers

The title of this photo is “Yes, they are stormtroopers.” I wonder how many times the Bride and Groom had to say that at this wedding!

Anyway, we love it. There’s nothing better than a nerdy cake in our eyes here at aWCB, and it rarely gets nerdier that the occasional Star Wars cake! But this one seems just a little bit better than the rest. This isn’t just a Princess Lea + Read More

Pink and Black Wedding Cake

pink and black wedding cake

Every once in a while I have the urge to have a Grease theme wedding, don’t you? And when that time comes, this has got to be the cake for it.

Hot pink, smooth as glass frosting is tangled up in thin black ribbons. Black polka dots mark a subtle design, making the cake almost traditional — if it wasn’t for Read More
