Cake Topper Friday: Diamond Engagement Ring
Helloooo, Cupcake.
I may have just found my favoritest. Cake topper. EVER.
DIAMONDS.
Specifically, one mongo huge diamond, in the form of a solitare setting, nestled in the luxe cream cheese icing of a perfectly sumptuous red velvet cupcake.
OMG.
So, Girls, can you think of a better way for Read More
Fondant Cameo Cupcake
Sigh. I heart silhouettes.
I mean, they’re right up there with monograms for a Southern girl, you know? So fabulous. And the Kelly green background? It’s like a cupcake right out of Lillian Pulitzer, yes?
Okay…so maybe using your own silhouette (just you…no groom involved) may be just a leetle bit full-of-yourself-ish at your wedding, but we think this is a totally kickin’ and completely Read More
Cupcake Tower with Oversized Cutting Cupcake
We’ve all seen those molds for the giant cupcakes. I mean, they are the stuff that dreams are made of, yes? I envision sitting down, giant glass of milk in hand, and just digging in. So when I saw this cupcake tower with a giant cupcake as the pinnacle, the cutting cake, I super loved it.
The sweet, ruffly layers of buttercream and the adorable, lacy papers truly finish the look off in style, but it is the scale of the giant cuppy, which I feel sure will be used for the bride and groom to do their ceremonial cake cutting, that steals the show. The whole effect – fondant pearls, bows, and flowers, with plenty of Read More
Cupcake Bouquets
So, I love an artfully arranged group of cupcakes, and for a wedding, a display that mimics a tiered cake is certainly adorable and appropriate. Still, for that bride who would like to do things a little differently, or stand out from the crowd just a wee bit, I offer you…Cupcake Bouquets.
Dress your cupcakes up like your favorite flower, find some whimsically-colored flower pots, and make a bouquet out of your cuppies! I think this is brilliant. Guests can Read More
Hydrangea Cupcakes
I am declaring this Cupcake Week, y’all!
I’ve been flirting with the idea for a few days. I love wedding cakes – obviously – but sometimes, you just have to change things up a bit, yes? And so, we’re going to celebrate the tiny treat that started it all this week. Before there were baby cakes…before there were cake pops…there were cupcakes. At every birthday party, at every school holiday party…our collective childhood Read More

Happy Easter, Sweet Readers o’ Mine! I really hope you are enjoying this GORGEOUS spring day as much as we are! We were up early to see what goodies awaited us in our Easter baskets, and then off to service and some fantastic family time!

It’s been a fun week here on A Wedding Cake Blog. We’ll start by sharing what we’ve been up to all week!
On Monday, we started the week with a BANG of gorgeous Read More
Confetti Wedding Cake
Shouldn’t a wedding be, first and foremost, a celebration? And shouldn’t a celebration involve lots and lots of confetti?!
It’s ever so much better than rice, in my opinion.
Does anyone ever throw rice anymore? Or for that matter, is anyone using birdseed these days? We used these adorable rice paper hearts confetti, courtesy of Read More
Cake Topper Friday: Sweet Silhouette Cake Topper with Floral Arch
Isn’t this darling? I mean, the epitome of sweet, yes?
I’m not a big fan of Precious Moments figurines, y’all. I wasn’t when they were hot. And that was a LOOOOOONG time ago. However, I don’t mind the cute, pastel vibe that they evoke. And even though this cake topper has nothing Read More
Steampunk Wedding Cake
Time for something a little out there!
We kept seeing the term “steampunk,” and not being so much in the know (or rather being too busy to care about being “in the know”) I had no clue what this meant. And so I Googled it.
That’s when I found out that steampunk is basically a genre of….stuff, that looks old timey and futuristic all at the same time. Think that Wild Wild West movie with Will Smith, Salma Hayek, and Kevin Kline (which I’ve never seen…but I’ve seen some pics. That counts, right?) Normally, this involves stuff that’s set in a time that used steam power, like Read More
Pink and Orange Buttercream Ruffle Peony Cake
Are you there yet? Are you in that absent-minded, don’t-bother-me-with-real-life-details-like-laundry-and-oil-changes that spring incites? I can think of nothing but glorious days, warm breezes, picnics, and playing outside. I want to wear flowy dresses made from lots of linen, drink lemonade and crisp white wine, and gather floppy flowers.
And here is the perfect cake to epitomize that vibe.
Nine days out of ten, you’ll find me buttoned up and starched, tailored and just so, and I love cakes that reflect that personality, too. Crisp edges, architectural and symmetrical features, like Read More
