Unconventional Wedding Cakes
In today’s wedding world, it seems that most wedding cakes are unconventional. It’s almost unconventional to have a white on white wedding cake! But in an unconventional wedding cake might refer to the design, the topper, or the flavors featured. Regarding design, one popular unconventional style today is the topsy turvy, asymmetrical design. Stacked cake layers give the illusion that the cake could spill over any minute, when in fact, the cake is balanced and level. Unconventional toppers are another way that a couple may make their cake unique. The couple who loves Angry Birds, for instance, can feature the adorable characters perched atop their cake. Can’t last a minute without your cell phone? There’s a wedding topper for that, too. Prefer Goth to Victorian? No problem. A talented baker can help you realize your dream cake. But you might opt for traditional design and toppers, and still find ways to be unconventional with flavors – even savory alternatives to wedding cakes, like “cakes” made of wheels of cheese, or layers of savory meet pies, might stand in for a conventional cake. So, express yourselves! In cake! And send us pictures.
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 22, 2011
What a pretty week it has been! While my BPIP (Blog Partner In Pretty), Christen, has been out and about, scouring the best and most delicious treats for the boys out there (HELLO – ice cream groom’s cake! Brill!) I’ve been taking note of all the busy bakers that I have the pleasure to hobnob with. And yesterday evening, I had a real treat, as I got a peak at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando’s wedding salon. Can you say opulence-to-die-for? I’m hoping to have LOTS of pretty pictures and details to share with you about that experience soon! But in the meantime, Read More

White Summer Wedding Cake
Isn’t this just one of the prettiest things you have ever laid your eyes on?
I fell in love with this cake the MOMENT I saw it. Ethereal, lovely, lady like, gossamer blossoms. What description would you add?

Prince William’s Groom’s Cake
So…I know that we’ve talked about it. But we haven’t actually seen it. Well, I hadn’t, anyway.
Until now.

Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 1, 2011
What a week for weddings it has been. And to think – the season is just beginning!
The world watched Friday as Kate Middleton – now HRH The Duchess of Cambridge – married Prince William in a beautiful ceremony that was both modern and traditional all at once. Christen and I tweeted and texted and Facebooked with our best girlfriends from all over, as we all enjoyed the elegant spectacle.
Now, we’re sure to have Read More
Everything is Pink and Pretty
Just when I thought my cake resources where running a bit dry this beauty pops up!
First and foremost…is this not a beautiful picture?
Anyway, on with the cake! I adore pink. It’s my absolute favorite color on the planet. However, I personally think that pink wedding cakes can be…well…let’s be honest…tacky. I don’t know why, but baby pink on a cake just doesn’t do it for me. This cake strikes my fancy though. The first tier has a sophisticated pink and cream diamond pattern. The second has pink fondant stripes. But what really sets it apart are the adorable tiny dark pink fondant flowers that are scattered across the cake. To. Die. For. Instead of a cake topper, this couple decided to play with the dark pink color and add some dark pink gerbera daises.

Hello, Bold, Meet Classic: Zebra Stripes and Tiffany Blue Wedding Cake
You know, “bold” is very difficult to pull off, because if you aren’t careful…if you’re too heavy-handed…”bold” can easily become…well… gauche.
Not so with this stunning zebra-striped cake, courtesy of The Couture Cakery in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Jasmine, Couture’s owner and cake artist, created the confection as a centerpiece for a sweets table, and brought in the Tiffany Blue as an accent color.
The cake is covered in fondant, and is trimmed Read More
Vegan Nirvana: Mocha Almond Fudge Avocado Groom’s Cake
If you visit many trendy bakery sites and blogs (as I do), sooner or later, you are going to come across a whole list of “free” things – gluten-free, sugar-free, casein-free – and you might be tempted to say, “Hmmm, go ahead and add taste-free to that list, too.”
Well, I will have to say, respectfully, that –free doesn’t have to be devoid of culinary character.
Are you a bride – or a groom – looking to feature a vegan choice 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
