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?
Sunflower Wedding Cake
Ah, Happy Summer, Y’all!
Bees buzzing, lazing in a chair with a glass of lemonade, as the hazy sun shines. Tall grasses, children playing – because they are the only ones who have the energy in the heat.
But as the sun sinks lower into the sky, and with it, the mercury, we come alive as the stars come out to play. Grab your pashmina and keep the party going!
I waxed a wee bit poetical right there, didn’t I? Well, I couldn’t help it. I was inspired. By the cake.
Don’t you just love sunflowers? Nothing says Read More
For the Guys: Bow Tie Groom’s Cake
Here’s another page from the files of “The Guy Had Nothing to Do with Picking this Cake.” But I love it, so you’re gonna see it ANYWAY.
In the interest of full disclosure, this cake was actually made by Cocoa and Fig of Minneapolis (LOVE THEM, and have featured them before with their FAB Rock Candy Wedding Cake) for a styled shoot. Which, in wedding blog terms, means Read More
Pink Wedding Cake with White Trim
Pretty, pretty, pretty. And dare I say – without being fired upon where I stand – ladylike?
This breathtakingly beautiful pink wedding cake with white trim makes me think of Easter dresses, and ladies who lunch, and kelly bags, and spectator pumps, and white gloves and hats, and every sweet, fun thing that there ever was about being a girl. Really. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a strand of pearls secreted about it somewhere.
Created by Jean-Paul’s Creative Cakes in (of course!) Charleston, South Carolina, pale pink fondant hides Read More
Charlotte Wedding Cake
Today’s cake is for the lover of rustic or DIY: the Charlotte Wedding Cake.
Sometimes in the dead of summer (like, you know, now), simpler just seems better, yes? Sure, ornate cakes with a ton of detail and many man hours will elicit the obiligatory “WOW!” from our guests, and that is all well and good. But I for one find myself trying to Read More
Sand Colored Ombre Seashell Cake
Why don’t I just declare it “Beachy Monday?” Or “Summer State of Mind Day?”
I seem to gravitate toward beach-themed cakes. Because. I. Love. Them. As you well know, I make my home a little inland from the very southern east coast, and I’d be even more coastal if I had my way about it.
But this cake is simply GORG! I mean, it’s not enough that it has SEASHELLS…but it’s OMBRE TOO! And sand-colored at that. Friends joke sometimes that my signature color is khaki, so you know I’m diggin’ that background. But that’s not all there is to the adorableness…the Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 15, 2012
Hey, Everyone!
It has been a fun week of visiting and preparing, as we get ready to welcome a dear friend for a visit. But even though the week has involved a LOT of cleaning (what is it about a pending visit that makes all the dirt that you blissfully pass for days POP right out at you??) there have been liberal trips to the beach to break it up a bit. Add in dear times with family and fun times with girlfriends, and it has been one terrific week!
So let’s take just a quick look around this week to see what’s going on in the world of Sweet and Pretty. We’ll be back to our regular Read More
PJs Coffee Wedding Cake
I love coffee, and I love cake. And when those two passions collide, bliss is sure to follow.
This is just Thursday post fun, y’all. I spied this pic when I was looking for something on Flickr, and just had to share. Apparently, PJs Coffee of New Orleans features a (sounds yummy) coffee flavor called “Southern Wedding Cake.” (There better be booze in there if it’s gonna be reality. But I digress.) In honor of the return of this fab flavor, there was a little launch party of sorts, and Sucre, a local bakery, provided this fantastic wedding cake! Isn’t that awesome? From what we gather, the cup is Read More
Summer In Bloom Wedding Cake
Today, it was time.
It was time for a vibrant, lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer wedding cake.
Doesn’t this lovely creation just capture the mood of summer perfectly? Whiling away the days, bees buzzing, everything blooming to the hilt, green everywhere. I picture an outdoor ceremony with lots of floppy hats and sundresses. The bride might even have left her shades on.
And isn’t that the neat thing about cakes? Sometimes, you can look at them, and just know the feel of the wedding. I love when Read More
Teal Swarovski Crystals and Flowers Wedding Cake
Sometimes you just need a bit of flair to bring a cake to perfection. Perhaps some feathers or a touch of pink or you can add fabulous teal Swarovski crystals.
Today’s cake is by the lovely and talented team at The Pastry Studio in Daytona Beach, Florida. If you haven’t seen any of their cakes then check out this Retro Bubble Cake, or this incredible Nutcracker-Inspired Cake.
The intricate detailing on this cake if perfection! The hand made sugar-paste flowers and the beautiful scrolling are gorgeous. And I love how they added a little bling in the form of teal Swarovski crystals. It’s a much lighter touch than all of the rhinestone trim that we saw last year, and frankly, I love it! It adds a little pop of color that complements the all white perfectly, and it’s a luxurious look without going overboard.
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for July 8, 2012
Hey Guys! Happy Summer!
Hopefully, you didn’t encounter any sparkler or firecracker mishaps this week during your celebration of our nation’s Independence. We spent a quiet day at home, recuperating from a beach crawl that took us through six states and back again, and introduced us to some fun new finds. But even though we saw some neat things, a week plus on the road proved to us that we needn’t go further than the beach in our own backyard. Sure, I bet Hawaii is fabulous, and I know that the Read More
