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?
Dark Red Roses Cake
Well, by now you know that we are all about the seasons around here. But sometimes it’s nice to see an expression of seasons in a way that isn’t so typical. Take autumn, for instance. You think autumn wedding cake, your mind automatically goes to colored leaves. But here’s another take on the colors of fall: rich red roses.
It was love at first sight when I saw this cake. The simple buttercream finish is trimmed with a wide, black ribbon, elegant scrollwork, and the most beautiful deep red roses. For an interesting contrast, the roses are paired with orchids. You would never think, “I know, I’ll put orchids and roses Read More
Thanksgiving Cornucopia Cake
Happy Thanksgiving friends! I hope you are spending your day with family and friends and eating lots of turkey, playing football and scarfing down some pie. In other news…
I did it! I actually found a Thanksgiving themed cake that is NOT shaped like a Turkey. Who knew it was possible?
The people at The Pink Cake Box must have had an un-turkey like vision for this beautiful three tiered spice cake. Yum. A Thanksgiving wedding with spice cake just seems like an amazing idea. In order to make it fall themed they added apples, Read More

White Chocolate Ruffle Cake
Today, we wrap up Ruffle Week 2011 here on A Wedding Cake Blog with a cake that has a little different take on the frilly furbelows of ruffles.
Ruffles. Meet Chocolate. Helloooo, perfection.
Don’t you simply LOVE this cake? Two tiers of cake, enrobed in real chocolate, People. This isn’t candy coating, or modeling chocolate. This chocolate has been tempered and made to resemble rustic ruffles, so that each slice of the cake yields a lovely snap. And check out the gorgeous flower pinned to the side, and the topping of – what else? – more Read More
Ombre Ruffle Cake
We have to end Ruffle Week 2011 with a bang…I believe that is cake is the cake to do just that.
I’m not sure there is anything more “Fall 2011″ than Ombre & Ruffles. When you combine them, wonderful, wonderful things happen. Like this cake from Maggie Austin Cakes. (If you’d like to know about Maggie Austin Cakes – and trust me, you do – check out this week’s Round-Up for a terrific article about the artist.)
In case you have no idea what I am talking about, ombre is basically taking the same shades of one color and having the colors scale from light to dark. We’ve talked about it a time or two here. I have Read More

True fact. Ruffles do not have to take over your cake. They can cascade down it like some gorgeous waterfall. Just like this one.
This cake is a three tiered cake covered in flawless white fondant. I love how the ruffles just sort of fall down the side of the cake in various shades of pink. I am not sure how but I almost want to wear this cake. You know, like a shirt. In fact I think I may own a Read More

Guess what?
I have hereby determined that it’s Ruffle Week here on AWCB.
Why? Because I have an abundance of ruffle cakes in my Pinterest folder and I have been teaching 2nd grade long enough to know that every week needs a theme. Oh yes.
To kick off RW ’11 (Ruffle Week 2011) we’ve got to pay homage to the Goddess of the Ruffle herself. You know who I am talking Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for November 13, 2011
Happy…well…post 11.11.11! Lame, I know. But wasn’t that crazy? I mean, we’ve had 1.1.1, 2.2.2, 3.3.3, etc, etc,…but people really went crazy for 11.11.11, didn’t they? From movie premieres to weddings, it was crazy times this past Friday. Heck, we’re just glad to be that much closer to Turkey Day around here.
Still, beyond that freak snowstorm that pummeled the Northeast, it’s turning out to be a lovely fall. And as we’re making our lists and checking them twice, we thought we’d pause to see what’s going on in the world of wedding. But before we get to all the lovely, Read More
