Square Wedding Cakes
Square wedding cakes have gained in popularity over the last few years. While they still trail their round counterparts significantly, they are the second most popular shape that cakes take in today’s wedding cake world. The couple who chooses a square cake may have a myriad of reasons for doing so. Maybe they just want something a little different. Or maybe a particular design feature that they have chosen works better with a square cake, such as a monogram. Perhaps the couple (or the bride, or the wedding planner or caterer) has a lovely old cake stand to feature, and it just so happens to be square in shape. Whatever reason, square cakes, whether separated by columns, or stacked with tiers directly on top of one another, emphasize the couple’s attention to detail. Round cakes are the default; square cakes must be requested, and for that reason, seem just a little more special.
Baby Blue and White Wedding Cake
With so many alternative wedding cakes out there (cupcakes, cake pops and cake jars) and so many gorgeous toppers I feel like it has been awhile since I have featured a good old traditional white wedding cake. So to satisfy your need for cake gorgeousness here you go…

Green and Brown Wedding Cake
I picked this cake for one reason.
Thin. Mints.
That’s what this cake reminds me of. The thin minty goodness that appears every March and then is unceremoniously ripped from the parking lots of grocery stores a few weeks later. I typically cry until June and then I forget about it again until February when my little friend comes around with her cookie selling sheet. Oh yes. I love Thin Mints.
I have no idea if this cake is actually mint flavored..but the light green and brown color combination remind me of them. Or perhaps it’s the chocolate leaves as the topper that make me think mint. Either way it’s a yummy looking cake!

‘Favorite Friends’ Floral Square Cake
We have had so many days in a row of classic and traditional and stately, and well, regal. I thought we could use a foil to all of that. And so, I’m pleased to share this charming cake with you on the day after The Big Wedding.
This adorable cake features edible renditions of stuffed and furry friends – Cran and Ludwig – that played a role in the happy couple’s special day. But while the adorable figures perched atop the cake, decorated in beautiful and vivid pearlized hues, are striking, it was the other trim and the configuration that really Read More

In honor of Spring..
Since two days ago we run in the official start of Spring (do you hear that weather gods..warm UP already)..today I am going to feature a Springtime cake in honor of all those weddings that are just around the corner. Seriously, I have three coming up in the next month and I think every one of my Facebook friends is either expecting a baby or getting married this Spring and Summer. I am going to be busy!
This cake is a simple three tiered square cake with a coral fondant ribbon at the base of each tier. The beauty in this cake is the yellow orange and pink gerber daisies that are perfect for a Spring wedding.
