For the Guys: Pirate’s Chest Groom’s Cake
Oh, how I love chocolate. And how I love pirates (well. Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom, anyway.) So this cake is pretty dreamy, don't you think?
I love that it's a cake – and I'm gonna go ahead and assume chocolate – filled with – YES! – Read More
Cake Topper Friday – Edible Fall Leaves
I’m deviating just a teensy bit today. Rather than showing you something that goes on top of the cake, I’m showing you something that goes…on top…of…well, the cake. Lemme explain.
I love fall. And so do you. I don’t know ANYBODY who doesn’t. And I love it so much that I got married during fall. And what’s better than a Read More
Tropical Inspired Wedding Cake
I love fruit, and I love fruit with cake. When I cut into a cake and find some kind of fruit filling, I'm a happy, happy girl.
But what if you want something more interesting than ho-hum strawberries or lemon curd? (Both of which I adore, by the way.) Consider, my friend, a tropical twist.
This beautiful cake has its lovely white layers topped with a glaze of passionfruit. Omisosh. SO yummy. And equally beautifully with its rich yellow hue. But to enhance the tropical theme, Read More
Black and Red Wedding Cake Pop Cake
My name is Brooke, and I love cake pops. (Hi Brooke.)
Omistars…I feel certain that cake pops were some kind of happy accident, or were the obvious invention of thrifty cake bakers who couldn't imagine throwing out all those cake scraps (we used to make rumballs out of all those yummy leftovers.) Dress them up, put them on a stick, and you have the perfect two bite dessert!
But savvy folks like Julie of Party Pops by Julie are taking the artistry of the humble cake ball to a whole new level. Check out this incredible wedding cake – made from Read More
Pastel Thai Inpired Wedding Cake
Erica of Erica O'Brien Cake Design takes us in a decidedly unexpected direction with today's Thai-inspired cake.
I have seen some really beautiful cakes that pull from Asian inspiration, but most of the time, they featured deep, bright colors. But with this cake, which was featured in a stylized shoot, we see beautiful Thai design elements approached with the light, deft touch of pastel. And it works beautifully. I absolutely love the stacked fondant Thai arches, and the way that Erica alternates a couple of gold layers into the mix. And the sweet flower blossoms, as well as the gold-tinged peony, are breathtaking. She even plays with Read More
What’s Your Cake Style?
Once upon a time, two pastry chefs fell in love, decided to get married, and opted to spend more on the cake than her dress. (See that cake over there? Made by the wonderful Sherri Meyers of The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach? She made my cake, too. Alas. Before the days of great digital photography.)
True story. I know, because I was there.
What's my point, you ask? Well, for some couples, a wedding cake is just another detail to cross off the mile-long to do list. For these folks, having Aunt Bessie bake her famous sheet cake for free, or heading down to the local supermarket…well, that's fine. (And Aunt Bessie may be Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for September 16, 2012
Hiya, Boys and Girls! And a Happy Sunday to y’all!
What is the electricity that’s in the air this time of year?? It’s delicious, isn’t it? Football starting up…pumpkins and autumn harvests showing up in the stores…and that not-as-hot-as-hot feeling comes to the South. I love fall, y’all.
So while I’m spending this weekend enjoying football and contemplating pulling out the fall decorations, I’m loving life. There are Read More

For the Guys: Tattoo Groom’s Cake
Is your guy inked? Are you? Well, then I’ve found your cake. You’re welcome.
Isn’t this cake fab? The tattoo designs are so retro awesome that I couldn’t resist. And the motifs are darling, from “Love” to “Luck.” And extra points for ice cream and cupcake tattoos! The topsy-turvy asymmetrical layers are so fun, with red, red roses topping the whole thing in a nod to tradition. And the hand-drawn designs on fondant are incredible.
We don’t know who made this lovely cake, but if you do, we’d love to hear! We found it on Pinterest. And even though you’d never want to copy a cake exactly, this is a great cake for taking a stellar concept and making it your own.
Love the idea of a tattoo wedding cake? See this one we featured earlier this year.
Cake Topper Friday: Disney’s ‘Princess and the Frog’
I'm not sure what statement this makes about the bride, or the groom, but I'm gonna go with it. Because it's cute.
How many Disney fans do we have out there? I just loved Disney's The Princess and the Frog. The music and story were darling, and the animation was beautiful.
Now, I'm not sure I'd Read More
Petits Fours For a Wedding
I heart petits fours in the biggest, old-fashioned way imaginable.
They’re so darling and so delicious, and you can look at their meticulousness and just tell that they took oodles of time and care to put together. I love them so much that they keep being featured at my big events, like my wedding shower (and later at my baby showers – both of them!)
Had it occurred to me all those years ago, Read More
