Themed Wedding Cakes
A themed wedding cake may be just what you’re looking for to set your cake and reception apart. While a themed cake would be a natural fit for a wedding that also invokes a theme – say an “Alice in Wonderland” wedding, or a renaissance wedding – a bride and groom may also choose a theme for their cake based upon the a favorite amusement park ride or a preferred hobby, a favorite location, or a season or holiday. For the couple enjoys the daring fun of an amusement park ride, we’ve seen cakes that immortalize attractions like Disney’s Splash Mountain – fun! Likewise, the bicycling-enthusiast couple might prefer a cake that shows a mountain bike ride. Less specific would be the couple who incorporate images and items from the ocean into a beach cake, which might include gum paste shells and star fish, sand-like or pearly finish, and maybe a sand castle topper. Finally, if your wedding takes place near a beloved holiday or season, like the Fourth of July, or autumn, or Christmas time, consider incorporating themes that echo those holidays or times of the year. A July wedding cake might be decorated with stars and sparklers, while autumn might show off colorful marzipan leaves and chocolate twigs and acorns. Christmas might inspire the use of traditional garnets and greens, or cool and snowy blues and silvers. If there is a theme that you love, consider celebrating it with your wedding cake. It will make your day even more memorable, for both you and your guests.
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 17, 2011
We’re getting word from all over the country of April Showers…and a few April Flowers. Friends in the Southeast are telling us of cold and rainy weather, while pals in the Midwest are crowing about the first irises of the season. Here in the South, we continue to enjoy lots of sunshine and an early summer as usual.
As our thoughts turn to family traditions and springtime rituals of Easter egg hunts and beautiful bunnies, we are dreaming of Read More
Sage, Chocolate Brown, and Cream Color Cupcake Heaven
I think I have expressed once, or twice…or perhaps even three times my love for cupcakes. Apparently, this cupcake combo comes with a back story. The cupcake stand was lost en route to the wedding venue so the baker improvised and turned wine glasses upside down and placed a plate on top of them. To tell you the truth..I kind of think it’s classy.
The best part..please listen to the flavors of these bad boys: Read More
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for April 3, 2011
Zip, zoom, bang! I don’t know about y’all, but my early spring is off to a roaring start. So many exciting things going on that it’s hard to keep up. A wedding here, a birthday party there, visits from friends to plan, a trip to a wonderful, well-known shelling beach to ponder – and a girls-only cruise that I can hardly wait to savor!
Wait? Where was I? Oh yes.
And if that weren’t enough, there’s a royal couple planning a royal wedding, and we are royally interested! Too much? Well, you’ll forgive me, since we are within a month of Kate and Will’s Big Day. Perhaps we will return to non-Kate-and-Will posts following April 29. But for now we Read More
Disney Princess and Castle Cake
I have to admit that having a full time job, a full time toddler, a husband, a dog, cat and an obsession to blog about cake doesn’t give me much free time to sit down and watch television. Except today I found a spare twenty minutes and I was thrilled to sit down in my big chair and do nothing but watch television. My problem…no remote. Oh well, there was NO way I was moving. Luckily it was stuck on TLC and Read More

Pirate Themed Wedding Cupcakes
Argh! Shiver me timbers because these cupcakes rock my face off.
Oh yes. Let’s see how many Pirate cliche’s I can use here.
This wedding cupcake ensemble is a combination of lemon cupcakes with lime butter cream, espresso cupcakes with vanilla butter cream and gluten free & dairy free chocolate cupcakes topped with chocolate ganche. (If I am remembering correctly this is our first gluten free cake post..woot woot!) All of the cupcakes are topped with gold sprinkles and skull and cross-bone flags. However, the kicker for me is the Read More

Vow Cake
I remember a few years ago the craze was to write words all over your wedding cake that meant a lot to your relationship. My friend Amanda had one of these cakes and I spent most of the wedding looking at the cake to see if I would get any of the inside jokes…and I Read More
