Circle Wedding Cakes
Think of a traditional wedding cake, and chances are, you will immediately envision a tiered white cake with round layers. Round, or circle, wedding cakes are the standard for tradition. Whether the layers are separated by columns, or rest one upon another, it is safe to say that the majority of tiered cakes favor layers that are round in shape. In recent years, bakers have added interest to the otherwise traditional (and sometimes unexciting) profile of a round cake by stacking layers that are very similar in size, or by varying the height of various layers. But regardless of the size and height, circle wedding cakes are here to stay. And what could be more appropriate to signify and celebrate unending love, than the circle?
Pink Peony Wedding Cake
So I’m reading my email this morning, and looking at various websites, and suddenly I discover that I totally missed THE wedding that had been on my radar lately (No…not Brangelina. The other one.)
It seems that Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake slipped off to Read More

Seashell Cascade Wedding Cake with Sandcastle Caketopper
Whew! That was a mouth full. But how else was I gonna say it?
I have been lamenting myself right into a fall funk. Ya see, if I don't get myself outta the Sunshine State and to parts Northern (but still south of the Mason-Dixon line) this time of year, I get a little wistful. Um K…a LOT wistful.
So what's a girl to do to shake off the autumn blues? Yep…you guessed. Head to the beach. That's what I did this weekend, and that's what I'm doing for you today!
I adore Read More
Gilded Initial Wedding Cake
I love fall just as much as the rest of you. But when you Google “fall wedding cake” you can only configure bronzed autumn leaves and scatter them across a cake in so many different ways before they all. start. looking. the. same. This cake, therefore, was a breath of fresh air.
The gold trim still says fall. The simple white background ensures that you'll focus on the gold, which is what you should be doing. And the very simple gold trim needs know embellishment beyond its pretty, shiny color. But isn't that “B” on top darling? Rhinestone initials were done to death in 2011, so this is just a lovely take on the whole monogram thing, but in a graceful and fresh way.
We found this cake on Pinterest. Unfortunately, the link back to Martha Stewart's website is broken. Too bad. We would love to know the artist responsible for the pretty.
Cookie-Trimmed Chocolate Wedding Cake
If you'd like to have your cake and eat your cookies too, then I think this is the perfect wedding cake for you.
Who needs mountains of sugar flowers and miles of ribbon and piped royal icing? I can't think of a garnish more perfect for dessert than another dessert.
Here, chocolate buttercream, dipped and swirled in old fashioned, homemade abandon, covers a simple three tall-tiered wedding cake. But not only is the chocolate buttercream yummy; it serves as delicious glue for chocolate cookies, which are white-iced and rainbow-sprinkled. The whole effect makes me want to grab a huge tumbler of milk and dig right in. What a completely fun cake!
Once again, we have The Cake Girls in Chicago to thank for this little spot of genius.
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
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
