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?
Sweet and Simple White Buttercream Cake
Perhaps I can be a bit predictable, but a simple round white cake really gets me excited. Especially when the baker chooses to do just a little tiny something to send the cake over the edge. Just like this one. Sure it looks like a simple white cake with a light cream ribbon around each tier. My favorite part is the textured buttercream frosting. First Read More
Alice in Wonderland Cake
It’s no secret that I am a fan of Alice in Wonderland. I am also a fan of Alice in Wonderland weddings. I mean have you ever seen some of these magical Alice-themed weddings that Disney has put on? Ah-mazing. We’ve featured a couple of Alice in Wonderland-themed treats here and here on A Wedding Cake Blog in fact. I’ve even seen some non-Disney weddings that have been breathtaking. There is just something about the story that is just so whimsical that allows for a gorgeous backdrop.
Enter this amazing cake made by Karen Portaleo the Sugar Artist (what a cool title, yes?) from Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia. I mean seriously–let’s get Read More
Combination Wedding and Groom’s Cake
This cake caught my interest on Pinterest. Why? Because I feel like it summarizes my life. I am a teacher so I spend most of my days sticky sweet and annoyingly traditional. However, every once and awhile I can easily flip to the dark side and my kids think “Hey, she’s a little nutty”.
So. That’s me. Half a traditional beautiful white cake and the other half a gorgeous chocolate groom’s cake. I have never seen a cake like this and to tell you the truth, I love it. The couple decided Read More
Bare Branch Wedding Cake
We’re gearing up – or maybe you’re already in full throttle – for the spectacularity that is the Winter Holiday Season – Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to YOU! But do you remember the old days? The days when Christmas didn’t start five minutes after you pushed back from your Thanksgiving seconds? Or – shudder – right after the Labor Day picnic?
Am I showing my age? Sigh.
Well…all of that to say that I do remember such a time…a time when you thought…hmm…it’s not fall, it’s not Christmas…it…just…is. No pretty leaves, no super crazy snow. Just beautiful bare Read More
Black and White Scroll Work Wedding Cake
Black and white is classic a la Coco Chanel…so obviously a black and white wedding cake is oozing with class and sophistication. This is a three-tiered round cake covered in white buttercream. The buttercream is covered in a gorgeous black scroll work pattern. My favorite part of this cake is the incredible black fondant bow that starts at the top of the cake, and flutters all the way down to the bottom tier. I love how it’s wrapped up like a perfect present..and I love presents!
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for December 3, 2011
HOW is it already December?
I ask that for a couple of reasons. First off, HOLY COW, I HAVE A LOT OF PLANNING TO DO! Shopping, baking, wrapping, mailing! I’m not sure why I’m accusing Christmas of sneaking up on me. Clearly, the fault lies in my lap, not the calendar’s.
But I’m also just completely amazed that we’ve been at this for a year! Well, a little over a year, but I didn’t come on board until January, so it’s feeling like my anniversary is coming up.
Wow – can I just stop and gush for a minute, and Read More

White Ruffle Cake
We’re apparently in good company when it comes to ruffle love!
You saw our terrific Ruffle Week 2011 last month, yes? With cascading ruffles, ombre ruffles, and even white chocolate ruffles. Sigh. We’re still kind of pretty-drunk from it all.
But lo and behold, MORE ruffles poured in! Tasha Nagy from Kick Ass Cakes in Fraser Valley, British Columbia sent me this sweet and pretty cake because she knows we are OBSESSED! Seriously! Ruffles! Pearls! Flowers! All White! It’s like Tasha made Read More

Hand-Piped Poem Cake
Even though I am a teacher, my undergraduate major was Theatre. I never actually wanted to be an actress or anything. My initial plan was to teach Drama…which I eventually did…but then many years later have ended up teaching 2nd & 3rd grade…where, coincidentally, we have plenty of drama.
Anyway, my point is that for part of my graduating performance, I had to present a poem as a monologue. I chose i carry your heart by e.e. cummings. It seemed appropriate. I had just started dating my future husband a few months before and I was about to graduate (he was not) and move to Read More
