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?
Vintage Elegance…White Cakes on Gold Cake Stands
Today’s feature has got to be one of my favorites so far! I mean, when I look at the picture it just takes my breath away.
One day down the road – when I take a walk down the aisle – I imagine something like this for my cake. The display is perfect in its Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for June 3, 2012
Heya Hiya! How’s your weekend going? Mine is super fantabulous.
We have officially started summer here in our household (I know what the calendar says. Whatevs.) With no more schoolwork, and the beach beckoning (not to mention that fab-o hammock) it’s hard to act like it isn’t the Second Most Wonderful Time of the Year. So onto picnics and lazy days and flower picking. Yes please.
Before we wax all Read More
Summer Garden Wedding Cake
Today’s featured cake is another Pinterest find. And wow am I in love with this one! It is so romantic and sweet and gorgeous and well just amazing!
This cake was designed by Jessica Cakes in Minneapolis. I love the way she incorporated the garden feel of the couple’s wedding by creating green branches that look like they are growing up the cake. And the blue birds were also incorporated to match the programs. How sweet looking are Read More
Shades of Blue Wedding Cake
Since I joined A Wedding Cake Blog a few weeks ago I have been searching non-stop for fabulous cakes to feature. And time and time again I will find an incredible cake, fall in love, and come to find out that it is the brainchild of Erica OBrien. This one is another find off of Pinterest and I absolutely adore it!
I love the simplicity and clean lines of the cake. It looks modern and traditional at the same time. And I love love love the different shades of blue she used to bring in a pop of color. I think the little hearts (although Read More
Peanut Butter Addiction Cake
Peanut butter and chocolate…is there a more heavenly combination? But seriously I am full-fledged Reese’s addict, and this cake is a dream come true!
I came across this blessed jewel on Pinterest but it originated from the lovely Cup A Dee Cakes. They classified it as a groom’s cake but I happen to think that it would be a great non-traditional (and yet still traditional) wedding cake.
And if you didn’t swoon over the copious amounts of Reese’s cups on the cake get ready for the deliciousness inside! It is a dark chocolate cake covered in peanut butter buttercream frosting. I’m in heaven ya’ll!
Now if you will excuse me I am off to satisfy my Reese’s craving while you all contemplate the amazingness of this cake!

Nautical Mini Wedding Cakes
Adorable! That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw these Mini Wedding Cakes on Pinterest.
I have a slight obsession with miniature baked goods…I’m not sure if it makes me feel less guilty about eating something “unhealthy” or if I just like the idea of miniature things. Either way I love mini cakes, mini cupcakes, cake pops (they may not be miniature but they are small), and petit fours. And while most miniature goodies are not decorated elaborately today’s featured minis are incredible! The attention to detail is amazing…I mean look at the rope border on the tiers of the cake, the bronze anchor, the flowers, and the stripes! Can you imagine the time it took to perfect the details and make these look so good?
In my opinion these mini wedding cakes would be perfect for a dessert table or even as a wedding favor…but we want to know what you think about the whole mini cake idea?
If you love the nautical look of these mini cakes, check out this nautical wedding cake and this nautical cake topper we have featured!
Thanks, too, to our good friend Beth from Cakes by Beth for letting us know that these are the splendid work of The Caketress of Toronto!

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 27, 2012
Happy Unofficial Start to the Summer Season, Y’all!
Do you wish people a Happy Memorial Day? I mean, it kinda seems like a contradiction in terms. When I was growing, up, Memorial Day was less about partying, and more about remembering. I guess I’m happy with a hybrid of both: do a spot of remembering, and then go honor those we love and miss, and others that gave all for our freedom, by enjoying some of that freedom and leisure. What I don’t get? Those pesky home improvement commercials that seem to think Read More

Cameo Wedding Cake with Fondant Pearls and Lace
Some cakes are just so gorgeous they take your breath away. For me this is one of those cakes.
I love love love the way Kara Buntin, of A Cake to Remember used a different design on each tier…it emphasizes the vintage feel of the cake. The lace on the bottom tier was made from a fondant press. And Read More

Hand Painted Bird’s Nest Cake
This cake is vintage and gorgeous and I am in love! Amelie’s House is responsible for this wonderful concoction. They actually designed and made it for a baby shower but I think it would make a beautiful cake for a wedding (or a bridal shower).
Around the cake they painted a mimosa border (the flower not the delicious drink) because the featured refreshment at the shower were mimosa cocktails (yum!). But this cake isn’t all about the decor. The actual cake itself was Read More
Pink Ombre Pleated Pinwheels Wedding Cake
This cake is modern and girly and oh so fabulous! The pink pinwheels are the perfect accent for the simplicity of this white cake.
And I absolutely love the pink ombre coloring that Erica O’Brien Cake Design, of Hamden, Connecticut used to accent the cake. Ombre coloring is all the rage from hair color to clothing to party decor and even cakes. And it is executed perfectly here. Not too much pink but Read More
