Yellow Ruffled Ribbon Square Wedding Cake
Have you noticed how hot ruffles are right now?
I mean, they’ve been hot on our blouses and peep toes (and flip flops) for a while, but in the last year, we’ve seen an abundance (some of my cake artist friends might plead an over abundance) of ruffles on wedding cakes. From buttercream to fondant, I’d say that ruffles have been one of the hottest wedding cake trends of 2012. So when you see a LOT of something, it’s always fun to see it applied in a new way.
Enter this lovely cake.

Apple Wedding Cake Redux
This is one of my all-time favorite cakes that I’ve featured. Why am I providing you with a re-run today, you ask? A couple of reasons:
1. A cake loved should be shared more than once.
2. We will never forget.
So today, although I will not dwell on what September 11 has come to mean to Americans as well as others around the world, I do offer you this apple cake Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sweet Western Waltz Couple
Are you marrying a cowboy? Then you most certainly need this sweet western waltz cake topper.
Sure, being romanced by a cowboy is something right out of a Harlequin novel in my world. But it happens! I see a lot of lovely wedding pics from all kinds of places in my line of work, and some of the most moving are the ones that feature big ole hats on the fellas and beautiful boots under those demure skirts.

Rustic Flower Basket Wedding Cake
I wanted to feature a cake today that was sort of an homage to summer’s last big hurrah. After all, it’s still summer. It’s too hot to call it fall yet, and besides, we haven’t hit the equinox.
So what signals the end of summer better than gathering an overgrown bounty? This Flower Basket Wedding Cake was the perfect fit.
Look closely, because those baskets are, in fact, cakes. The sugar paste flowers appear to be the star of the show when really, they’re just garnish.
Isn’t the detail Read More
Ombre Red Velvet Wedding Cake
From the pages of Martha Stewart, we find this new take on a much loved classic, Red Velvet Cake.
Everybody knows that the BEST red velvet cakes must be covered in a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, right? I mean, you do know that? Well, that doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room for creativity on the outside of your cake…so this baker, Francina Stewart of One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn, took to the inside to set her cake apart. The outside is covered with Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for September 2, 2012
Hey Y’all! Happy Labor Day Weekend!
I hope you’re taking a break from your labor, actually, and having a good time on this, the unofficial last weekend of summer. And if you, like me, live in a place where school has been back for a few weeks, it probably feels like this milestone came awhile back.
But we can still get out and enjoy each other, yes?
We are off to Read More
