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?
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.

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
Raven Wedding Cake
It’s that time of year again! No, not back to school or summer ending or fall beginning. It’s the time of year when I start looking for crazy and fabulous seasonal wedding cakes! And since I’m already finding TONS, I had to go ahead and give you a preview of the stash with today’s post – the Raven Wedding Cake.
This. Is. Read More
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

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

Red Show Stopping Wedding Cake with Roses
I’m not feeling very subtle today. So I went in search of a cake that would set Brooke convention (you know, beachy, classic, pearls, blah blah blah) on its head. And this is what I found.
Isn’t this stunning? Bands of different red hues encircle an otherwise simple three-tiered round cake. A band of white is added on the top and bottom layers for contrast, and the whole thing is trimmed out in Read More
Starfish Wedding Cake
It’s beachy, and it’s sea glass blue and green. That makes it perfect.
Now, while I wouldn’t put actual starfish on a wedding cake, these gumpaste buddies are just the thing. The cool colors – all greens and blues and hues in between – are some of my favorite, evoking water and calm…two things that speak to me in soft, soothing tones. The wonky ginormous bottom layer – is triple height the new Read More

Rustic Apple Wedding Cake
I’m feelin’ fall, y’all.
Blame it on all the back to school pics. My sweet girl went back last week, but just about everyone in my circle – far and wide – have seen their kids off to the school bus by this point. And so begins the yearning for crisp, cool weather that never comes where I live.
Well, if I can’t have Read More
