Cake Topper Friday: White Chocolate Bride and Groom Cake Topper
Love. This.
Maybe I'm speaking as a married woman of 11 years who doesn't need another single knick knack. But girls, pay heed: that cutesy cake topper will be gathering dust in a matter of years in the back of your china cabinet (or worse…in a box in the attic.)
My advice? Go edible.
I think this is darling because it's both classic and practical. Rather than have some chichi porcelain figures, why not Read More
Red Stripe Wedding Cake with Bride and Groom Names
Remember when I wanted preppy yesterday? Well, I wanted it today, too, but I thought it would be fun to go in search of horizontal lines instead of vertical ones.
I adore the simplicity of the this cake. And it's really no shock that it's simple, since it's featured on Real Simple Magazine's website! Plain white fondant on tall tiers, trimmed with a border of thin red and white striped ribbon. The cake's only Read More
Square Vertical Striped Blue Wedding Cake
I went in search of preppy today. And preppy I found.
You may not believe this, but I'm not so much a froufrou girl. My favorite colors? Khaki and navy blue. In fact, I'll give you a $100 if you can spy me one day out of my life without khaki on my person somewhere.
I really love tailored and unfussy stuff. And today, I wanted to declutter a bit, cakewise.
I love this approach to cakery, don't you? Sure, we've seen Read More
Cream Colored Rustic Buttercream Wedding Cake
I was in the mood for simple today. Maybe it's because life seems so fast and so complicated. So I went in search of simplicity, and this is what I found. If life can't be simple today, my choice of cake sure can be!
Remember all those times that you helped to frost those cakes, and Mom or Grandma took extra care to make the frosting all loopy and swoopy before calling it a done deal for the Read More
For the Guys: Meatloaf Groom’s Cake
This, Gentle Readers, is not a cake that looks like a meat loaf. This is, in fact, a cake made of meat loaf.
As the story goes, groom Todd was asked what flavor cake he wanted for “his” cake. His sarcastic answer? “MEAT!”
Well, someone took Todd very seriously, and this delightful (and reportedly delicious) meatloaf cake was born.
So, I wasn't at said wedding. But I can make a fair guess here about the components. Read More

Double Tall Covered Bridesmaid’s Luncheon Cake
I espied this on Wedding Wire today and just had to share it with you.
I just love a little cake. Now, this one is billed as a cake for a shower or a bridesmaids' luncheon, but having gone through the big wedding hoopla, I love the idea of a wedding intimate enough that this darling little cake would be enough for all your guests.
There's so much to Read More
Autumn Wedding Cake with Gold Leaves
I spied this wedding cake and just had to share it with you.
We love fall weddings, don’t we? That hint of chill in the area with the glorious warmth of leaves changing, setting hills and fields ablaze with their beautiful colors. But when you distill and dress up the essence of all of those colors, you come away with gold. If silver is for winter, then gold is surely for fall.
To an otherwise plain, fondant-covered cake with black ribbon trim, cake artist Mina from My Read More
