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?
Wedding Cake Cake Pops
Today’s post is kind of a tongue twister…Wedding Cake Cake Pops. How precious and cute are these? I mean the cake pop trend has taken off but these are a whole new kind of adorable!
If you are going back and forth between a traditional wedding cake and a fun alternative like cake pops then these could be your perfect alternative! You could even have them displayed on a tiered stand to mimic a wedding cake. And you can make these at home! The ever so wonderful Duff of Charm City Cakes has made this into a cake pop kit. If only I had known about these last year for the Royal Wedding!
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 17, 2012
Happy Father’s Day to all of our dads out there! While we are fixin’ to set out on a beach picnic (I know…tiresome…that’s how we celebrate everything, it seems), I love showing you what we’ve been up to all week, as well as checking out what our friends are doing with their extraordinary gifts and abilities. Let’s start with our some pretty cakes, brought to you by, well, US!
On Monday, I shared with you what is destined to be one of my most favorite cakes EVER – the Teacup Wedding Cake.
Tuesday brought with it Shades of….Purple, when Kasey shared a lovely Read More
Coral and Blue Nautical Wedding Cake
I love sweet and simple. And today’s cake is just that!
Cake Goodness in California is the bakery behind this sweet nautical-themed cake, which was featured on Style Me Pretty, and was captured by Shannon Lee Images. And I have to say that I love how they incorporated so much into such a little cake! This cake was for a beach wedding in Malibu – hello dream wedding location! – and as the wedding incorporated nautical elements, it was important to carry the theme through to the cake. The blue and white stripes on the lower tier evoke that beach club, nautical feel, and the fondant rope around the base of the top tier really completes the look. But they took it one step further and “iced” it with a cake stand that incorporated a blue and white striped ribbon. I also love how they stepped out of the traditional yellow and blue nautical color scheme and went with blue and coral. The coral dahlia on top is fun and unique and sweet! And I love that they incorporated their monogram on the top tier.
To sum it up pretty much everything about this cake is perfect!
Vintage Elegance Wedding Cake
G’day mate! Today’s cake comes to you all the way from Australia! No, I’m not there on vacation (although I really wish I were!) but Melania’s Exquisite Cakes is located in Sydney and they are responsible for this gorgeous cake!
Vintage, Elegance, Gorgeous, Sexy, Romantic…these are all of the words that come to my mind when I think about this cake. I love how a cake can Read More
Purple Ombre Wedding Cake
Hello, Beautiful! Today’s featured cake is a purple ombre wedding cake. And I L-O-V-E it!
This incredible cake was designed for a fun Pinterest-inspired wedding shoot in Virginia, and was featured on Ruffled Blog. AND – one of our favoritest bakers, Kara from A Cake to Remember in Richmond, Virginia, created the gorgeousness!
I love how Kara moved from a deep purple on the bottom tier up to a pale lavender on the top. And I absolutely love Read More
Teacup Wedding Cake
Darlings…we have a new entry in the quest for Brooke’s cake heart.
I am a passionate follower of afternoon tea, and I love anything to do with tea time and its rituals. So when Marianne Kuhn of Dazzlelicious Cakes in Plymouth, England, introduced herself to me on Facebook recently, and I was so glad she did! Because I instantly fell in love with her cakes, and this one currently has the top place with me. From Marianne, I learned some delightful details about the cake. The couple wanted only a small cake, but loved Marianne’s flavors so much that they ended up asking for four tiers! They wanted to incorporate Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 10, 2012
Happy Summer, Y’all! Again! And Happiest of Birthdays to my darling sister, Lisa, who makes age ___ look fabulous!
Well, between a myriad of playdates to plan, summer camp, visiting friends, and a beach crawl up the U.S. eastern coast (because I don’t get enough sand and sun in Florida, y’all), I’m a busy girl! But I wouldn’t have it any other way, because it’s fun, gracious, SQUEEEEE! and catch up and hugs and Lilly Pulitzer-wearin’ busy. Ya know?
So before I go for a workout to ensure I look good in all those bathing suits, I wanted to check in on y’all, and spend a little time looking Read More
Touch of Pink Wedding Cake
So confession time…I love pink! (Actually, I think I already confessed that. And is that confession-worthy? Whatevs.) The love affair started sometime during high school (I was way too much of a tomboy before that to be on board the pink train) and it has continued to this day. I may have a different staple color in my wardrobe this season and my room may no longer be the pink and brown it was in college, but I still adore all things pink.
When I spotted this cake, I fell in love. I love its dimensions and the layered look of the tiers. The burst of Read More
Feathers and Flowers Wedding Cake
Feathers are not usually my cup of tea. I don’t really know why other than I’m just not too fond of them but I kind of love the way Bobbette and Belle incorporated them into the design of today’s cake!
People tend to fear having a simple all white cake because it may not be memorable or it may look boring to the guest (I vehemently disagree!)…but with a touch of floral and other accessories you can kick up your wedding cake to the level of unforgettable! Bobbette and Belle, based out of Toronto, have Read More
Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Wedding Cake
Hello pink and green! Calling all sorority girls and Lilly Pulitzer fans…today’s featured cake is inspired by the designs of Lilly Pulitzer. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lilly Pulitzer think bright colors, fun beachy patterns, and all around girly-ness!
I love this cake for SO many reasons BUT we shall start with the bright colors! I love love LOVE! pink and green together (I know that trend is considered “out”…but bear with me) because the colors are so happy and vibrant…and they make me smile. And speaking of things I love…I love how the cake designer chose a different pattern for each tier. The design incorporates Read More
