Eyelet and Pearl Peach Wedding Cake
Peach eyelet and pearls make this wedding cake a summer stunner! And the monogram seals the deal.
Jenniffer White from Cup a Dee Cakes worked with this couple to create a one-of-a-kind cake. They knew they wanted to use peach and eyelet in the overall design, and Jennifer used a special fondant that would hold up to the cutouts. The rest of the cake is iced in flawless buttercream, and is trimmed with pearls and the couples’ monogram.
There are so many beautiful Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 1, 2012
Hey Guys! I’m writing to you from Baltimore, Maryland, where we are hanging out in anticipation of going later to a – you guessed it – family wedding. Good times, since I’m getting to experience both an epic heat wave and some of the worst storms in history. A line of wind and thunderstorms ripped through here last night after wailing on my home state of West Virginia, and we swore we saw Dorothy’s house floating through the air. So here’s hoping that all of you out there are safe, sound, and will have power back in the very near future. Stay cool, y’all.
Well, since I’m traveling with my darling family – Great American Road Trip, Y’all – I am currently luxuriating in the peace and solitude of a very comfortable hotel room while Hubs is entertaining the kiddoes. (Yay HIM!) So, in this quiet time, Wimbledon on the telly, coffee in hand (sadly, no strawberries and cream), let’s look around together and find out what’s going on in the world of wedding, yes? But let’s start with what we’ve been up to this week.
On Monday, I featured a beautiful little cake that we spied recently at a Key West destination wedding – a Teal Blue Wedding Cake with Sea Shells.
Tuesday’s cake was a this breathtaking creation by British artist Janet Mohapi-Banks: a White Feathers Wedding Cake.
I couldn’t resist this homage to the Beatles on Wednesday, with this Yellow Submarine Wedding Cake.
Cakes disguised as pastel boxes, wrapped up in ribbon, made this Satin Bows Wedding Cake a hit on Thursday.
For Cake Topper Friday, we just LOVED this Baseball Bride and Groom Cake Topper. America’s Game!

And now, let’s go poke around with our feet up and see what other Sweet and Pretty we can find!

For the Guys: Chocolate Faux Bois Groom’s Cake
It’s time for another installment in “Brooke Fancies Up Your Groom’s Cake.”
French for “fake wood” (so really, the French sounds ever so much better and we should probably stick with it), the term faux bois refers to a decorating motif. Here it’s made by pressing a wood graining tool into the shiny ganache glaze that coats the cake layers. Since the tool is applied directly Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Baseball Bride and Groom Cake Topper
As American as Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie! Going into the week during which we celebrate the 4th of July, I am lovin’ this adorable cake topper, featuring the groom on the pitcher’s mound and the bride at bat. ‘Cause I totally think the couple that plays together stays together.
Can’t you just see this on a summertime wedding cake? For that couple that we all know where they are BOTH Read More
Satin Bows Wedding Cake
I love me some classic…well, anything. And isn’t this pretty? I just want to grab my pencil skirt, cashmere cardigan, pearls, and kelly bag and go shopping with the girls. And then maybe to lunch. At Neiman Marcus.
Whew! Went a little too far into that 1950s movie fantasy right there.
But this cake will Read More
Yellow Submarine Wedding Cake
And we live
A life of ease.
Everyone of us
Has all we need.
Sigh. Love LOVE The Beatles. Always have, always will. And what better homage to their idealistic work, than to immortalize their songs in your wedding cake?
So, I adore Yellow Submarine. You can totally catch me bobbing my head back and forth, driving my Honda, and singing along. And I think you do, too, and that is why I had to show you this cake. Originally, it was posted on Read More
White Feathers Wedding Cake
Some days I like my job, and somedays, I really love it.
What makes the difference? Usually, it’s interacting with the fun, friendly, vibrant community of bakers from all over the world that I’m getting to know through my work here on A Wedding Cake Blog. Seriously, y’all. I never would have dreamed 10 years ago that I would be chatting with gifted bakers from England and Australia. Thank you, social media!
I asked for opinions on cakes that feature feathers a couple of weeks back, and Read More
Teal Sea Shell Wedding Cake for a Key West Destination Wedding
A few weeks back, my aunt, uncle, and their family headed to Key West for some fabulous R&R. Have you been to Key West? If not, put it on your list. Right now. No, I’m serious. Go get a pen.
While they were there over Memorial Day weekend, the inn where they stayed happened to be the location of a Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 24, 2012
Hey There, Ho There, and Happy Solstice! What did you do during the longest day of the year this week? Anything special? Nah, me neither. But it’s nice to know that, after I’ve been talking about it seemingly for weeks, summer is finally underway!
This week, I make my way up the East Coast, stopping in to a couple of beaches along the way, as I head to a wedding in Maryland next Saturday. My, but we are hoping there’s a crab cake at the reception somewhere.
But between packing and other prep, I’ve been looking at what’s going on this week in the World of Read More
Dogwood Wedding Cake
I know, I know. The angle and lighting are a little funky on this one. But it’s sooooo still worth posting.
I love dogwood blossoms. We awaited with such joy the blooming of the dogwoods back home, when we knew spring was finally on its way. And this cake features beautiful versions of the lovely flower, used sparingly and asymmetrically on the various layers.
And speaking of the layers, I love a cake that has alternating shapes. This one features both squares and rounds, and the second layer from the top is both square AND Read More
