Simple Wedding Cakes

 

Sometimes simple says it best. You might choose a simple wedding cake because you prefer a minimalist approach, or because you like you like to stick with the basics when it comes to cake, or even because you are interested in showcasing a particularly fancy flower or cake topper, simple wedding cakes never go out of style. The basic, stacked, white wedding cake, frosted in a smooth coating of buttercream or covered in a snowy blanket of fondant, may hide beautiful flavors and colors beneath its exterior – the best of both worlds. Or maybe you and your groom prefer the traditional “white cake, white frosting” approach – or “chocolate cake, chocolate frosting” – after all, simple doesn’t necessarily mean traditional. On the other hand, a simple cake may be the perfect way to showcase a special caketopper or flower that has personal meaning for you. A topper that shows your style or a hobby that you and future hubby share becomes all the more visible when it doesn’t need to compete with a fancy cake. Maybe you have a family heirloom that can nestle atop your cake. Alternatively, some dazzling orchids or floppy peonies may be all the statement that you need to make. A simple cake need not be boring, after all.

Frosted Fruit Wedding Cake

Frosted Fruit Wedding Cake

Let’s take a trip back in time, shall we?  Back to a quaint time, called…the nineties.  Like, the 1990s.

I love Martha Stewart.  Have I mentioned that?  At least, I love her ideas, and how she transformed gracious, beautiful living into something everyone wanted to embrace.  And one of my very favorite ideas that I gleaned from Martha was the use of fruit or flowers to embellish and garnish cakes.

Now, I realize she didn’t invent the practice, but I believe she certainly went a long way Read More

Red Poppy Cake

Poppy Cake

Poppies make me happy…real or fake. So this cake, made by the talented Anne Heap at Pink Cake Box, undoubtedly makes me happy. (Side note, I also have a friend who recently named her daughter Poppy…which has thus inspired this Poppy-themed post).

Sweet and simple, this two-tiered round cake keeps it minimalistic with a smooth, white buttercream frosting and dark chocolate piping at the base. The red poppies give this cake a little pinch of modern. It’s a nice alternative to fondant Read More

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 15, 2011

Peach wedding cakes

Spring Showers are bringing May flowers, and I don’t know about where you are, but we’re already hitting the hazy, lazy, crazy days of summer here in the Southeast.  Oof, I would like spring back, please.

But no complaints.  Hot weather means a slowdown to work, and taking some time off – unless you’re in the wedding industry, that is.

In looking around this week, we’re just astounded at the beauty and talent that surrounds us.  There has never, ever been a better time to plan Read More

I’ll admit I am totally into DIY house projects. I am always painting, sanding, or replacing something. It’s something I totally enjoy and my husband tolerates. But nothing makes me want to throw things at him more than when we are working on tough project together.

Never…would I ever…be able to bake and construct Read More
