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?
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for February 5, 2012
Welcome to February, y’all!
I hear that the groundhog saw his shadow (is that the one where there’s more winter?) I’m seeing a lot of declarations that it’s all good…if it’s more winter like this, then who cares? But as a storm blankets the West today, I’m still super duper glad that I call the Southeast Read More

Bright Green Wedding Cake with Dogwood Blossoms
Spring strikes again!
One of my very favorite signs of spring (when I used to live in a place that had such things) were the dogwoods blooming out every season. Ah. Breathtaking, and as intoxicating as that first warm day when you are so super tempted to go barefoot through the damp, soft grass. So this cake caught my eye in about a second.
The vibrant grass green color is the perfect choice Read More
Sage Green and White Wedding Cake with Monogram
There are four reasons that I love LOVE this cake.
You had me at sage green. This is my favorite shade of the verdant color, hands down. It’s such a calm, cool shade of green, that I picked it as one of my primary paint colors in my home. After living with it for seven years, I’m still not tired of it.
Oh monograms, how I adore thee. You can barely make it out from this photo, but there, centered in the front of the second tier from the top is a script, white on white monogram. Oh, nothing says perfection and “completely complete” to me like a monogram does. And that it’s Read More
Vibrant-Colored Tulip Wedding Cake
Who needs some spring…like, right this minute? ‘Cause I totally have some for you today.
Ah, Pinterest strikes again. But I love what usually happens to me. I find something I just adore on Pinterest, which leads me to someone’s website, where I find something I adore more.
That’s what happened today. And I just knew that you, my winter weary worn friends, could appreciate this pretty, vibrant cake. Four whimsical, tall layers of cake in alternating bright yellow and pretty pink and polka dots. The two top layers of Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for January 29, 2012
Ah, it is almost the season of love and fluttery hearts and the time of year that mixing red and pink is not only permitted – it’s required.
Valentine’s Day is definitely one for the DIYer, yes? And as such, you and I should probably get crackin’ on some uber sweet gifts for the ones we love. While you work on brainstorming your list, I’m going to get down to business here, showing you the Sweet and Pretty that I’ve found this week. But here’s a little News to start us off:

Indian-Inspired Red and Gold Wedding Cake
We love a little pop of color in a wedding, and this one was just incredible.
Jenny and Aashish sought to bring together her Midwestern background with his Indian heritage, and the result was one of the most stunning weddings I’ve ever seen. Of course, I’m a sucker for cranberry red, so that might be part of it…I would TOTALLY wear that bridesmaid,s dress again.
But of course, the cake is the star of OUR show. And the cranberry red shows up here, too. Three simple layers, decorated with a mehndi-inspired paisley motif in gold, trimmed with cranberry red ribbon, and topped with a few Read More
Navy Blue Bow Cake
I made mention to it earlier this week but Navy is my color for 2012. I don’t know why but suddenly Navy is popping up all over my wardrobe and in my house. I just adore it. It’s not a shocker that this love has transcended into Navy Wedding Cakes. I searched and searched for my first Navy cake feature. And then I found this Navy Blue Bow Cake made by The Pink Cake Box, a baker we just love to feature here on AWCB.
This cake has four tiers and is a round cake. The cake is chocolate ganache and covered in white buttercream. The Navy comes in the form of an adorable swiss dot pattern all over the cake. And that bow. The show stopping fondant Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for January 22, 2012
Happy…hmmm…well…let me think about it…Sunday! Happy Sunday, Everyone!
Oh, but we have entered into that part of winter when winter is no longer enchanting. (Well. I assume. I mean, I live in Florida, and I’m going to the beach today. Hate me if you must.) But really, I remember this time of year when I lived up north. Christmas is over. Spring seems far, far, far, far… Thanks be to God for Valentine’s Day, Mardi Gras, and St. Patty’s, or we’d all go stark raving mad, I’m afraid.
Speaking of such things, I love all the little holidays. Isn’t it just so awesome that in life, there just always seems to be something to celebrate Read More

Sparkle White Wedding Cake
You had me at pate de fruit. No. Seriously.
Because we love love LOVE! the sweet and pretty around here, we spend an inordinate amount of time gazing at pretty cakes. Sometimes we tire of our usual haunts and look for fresh perspective.
That’s how I found this cake and accompanying sweets table, which maybe made me jump up and down, clapping, like a little school girl. Just a little.
I love this simple dessert table. No, Read More
Beach Wedding Cake
Isn’t this always how it goes.
In August I was tired of sweat behind my knees 14 hours a day and ready for the cool breeze of fall. By the time November rolled around I was ready for Thanksgiving to be finished so that I could kick off the Christmas season. Now that it’s January and the days. seem. to. take. forever. I can’t wait until it’s beach season.
Yes, I did skip right over spring because that’s what South Carolina does. 50 degrees and gloomy one day…75 and gorgeous the next.
Here it is in January. MLK Holiday has passed and minus a teacher work day or two I am in that awful Jan/Feb/March OH MY Read More
