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?

White Wedding Cake with Ruching to Match the Bride’s Dress
So, I’m clearly inspired to keep the white wedding cake love going for a day or two longer…
Check out this incredible cake by the Intricate Icings. I was floored when I saw the artistry here…they have actually succeeded in making fondant behave like fabric! In this case, the bride sent in a picture of her dress as inspiration, and Read More
White Wedding Cake with Pink Peonies
Blame it on the heat, or possibly overstimulation. But lately, I’ve been craving posts about white wedding cakes.
Color is fun, color is fab, and color will probably be the star of my next post. But the other day, as I was writing a guest post for another loverly blog (more about that later!), I began to search our catalog of cakes for a white cake. And I couldn’t find one.
Now, there’s a lot of talk out there about “boring white wedding cakes.” I suppose that, if you’re a baker and you’re stuck making white cake after white cake, that would get a little, you know, mind-numbing. But sometimes, Read More
Lattice Buttercream Wedding Cake with Mickey and Minnie Cake Topper
Today on the blog, we’re getting an extra dose of adorable. And moreover, we’re seeing adorable done right, which is even better.
Check out this absolutely precious cake. This four-tiered beauty was the star of the show at Melissa and Heath’s wedding, which took place in 2006. The couple had never been to Disney before going together while they were dating…and they were instantly hooked on the magic. They even considered getting married at Walt Disney World, but opted for a hometown wedding, and a cake that served as an homage to their favorite vacay Read More
Handmade Initial Cake Topper
So it’s not Friday but the story behind these cake toppers was just too cute to delay.
The father of the bride hand-made these for his little girl. Adorable. The description didn’t offer any more insight into the toppers but they almost look like a thin piece of Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for August 7, 2011
Whew! Is anyone else dreaming of pumpkin and morning frosts? And jewel toned cakes to replace the summer glaring brightness?

Black and White Cake
We’ve talked about black wedding cakes here on A Wedding Cake Blog before, and I have a confession to make: I didn’t love the idea. Just thinking about all. that. dye. Well, it didn’t set well with me.
But here, in my humble girly girl opinion, is the perfect black and white cake for the bride who craves the drama that the stark contrast of this combo brings, but feels the same way I do about the over zealous application of food coloring. Rather than getting the “black” part of the equation from Read More
Ruffles, Ruffles, and More Ruffles!
I’m a bit ruffle obsessed. That’s for certain. Add a little bit of light pink in the shape of a ruffly flower and I am dead from sheer girly indulgence.
Okay, so I know ruffles are NOT for everyone. I learned this the hard way when in Second Grade I wore a Ruffly Pink Flower Girl Dress to school just about every other day for three months. My mother “sent it away to be dry-cleaned” for about six weeks…ahem. By the time it came back it was the dead of winter and even my love for ruffles could not conquer my cold knees. True story, I wore it for my 2nd grade class picture…I should find it and scan it on here so you’ll believe me.
This cake is all the girly goodness that my Pink Ruffle Dress once was. A three tiered stacked round cake covered in flawless white fondant and adorned with row after row of fondant ruffles. The time and the precision this bad boy must have taken are unimaginable
Skull Wedding Cake
Yup, that’s a wedding cake. With skulls on it. I think I have seen everything.
I actually filed this away for Halloween but after staring at it for a full fifteen minutes I knew I couldn’t wait. I had to share it now.
This quiet a lovely three tiered stacked round cake covered in flawless white fondant. Adorning the sides…well we’ve already discussed that those are small skulls. The vertical stripes going up the sides of the cake are actually replica bones. The bride was actually inspired by Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. I love how this bride took a theme she really wanted (skulls and bones) and presented them in such a classy way. This could have Read More
M&M Wedding Cake
Insert. Gasp. Here.
This cake is layered with M&M’s. You are probably wondering what kind of creative powerhouse came up with this bad boy? Martha Stewart Weddings…that’s who. I mean really…who else do you think would create this cake layered with chocolatey goodness covered in a hard candy shell?
This cake was featured in the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings and has been making my Pinterest feed go nuts over the last few days. This is a four tiered round cake slathered in buttercream and layered with rows and rows of perfectly spaced M&M’s…seriously…how do they do that? I adore the soft pastel colors of pink, orange, and yellow because they just scream summer fun. As you know, M&M’s can come in just about any color you can imagine (you can even get them personalized) so you can coordinate them to match your wedding colors. I can see this cake covered in the oh-so-trendy dark purple, white, and gray or black, yellow, and gray. Oh my, the possibilities are pretty much endless.
And most importantly…they melt in your mouth…not in your hand!
