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.
Who needs just one cake?
Not me..no ma’am. I am a lover of ALL cake. Chocolate, Vanilla…Red Velvet..Oh red……but I am getting off on a tangent.
Today I am not featuring one particular cake..but one idea that is very innovative and cute! At this wedding the bride and groom requested that every guest bring a small cake. This wedding had Read More

How did I miss this cake on Valentine’s Day? Well, we’ll excuse me, and claim poetic license – or what have you – and say that we can still celebrate Valentine’s Day, because it’s still February.

On the Wings of Love — A Tattoo Wedding Cake
Do you remember the not-so-long ago season of The Bachelor featuring Jake Pavelka? You know..that awfully good old boy from Texas who swooned us all with his “yes ma’ams”, dashing good looks and a killer smile? I remember this because I spent the entire season SCREAMING at the television because homeboy made all the wrong choices when it came to women and the ended up picking, like, the WORST woman in the house.
Then come to find out less than a year later it’s actually Read More

Valentine’s Day Cake Pops
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I love Valentine’s Day..I always have. Even when I was a kid I would always through a Valentine’s Day themed party. I considered it my right since my birthday was in August and my friends were almost always on vacation that week. My birthday parties were usually small..but my Valentine’s Day parties..well they were legendary. They are still spoken about in hushed, reverent tones..
In honor of this day of love you know I was going to bust out a heart shaped SOMETHING didn’t you? Of course I was.

Stormtrooper Wedding Cake Topper
The title of this photo is “Yes, they are stormtroopers.” I wonder how many times the Bride and Groom had to say that at this wedding!
Anyway, we love it. There’s nothing better than a nerdy cake in our eyes here at aWCB, and it rarely gets nerdier that the occasional Star Wars cake! But this one seems just a little bit better than the rest. This isn’t just a Princess Lea + Read More
Pink and Black Wedding Cake
Every once in a while I have the urge to have a Grease theme wedding, don’t you? And when that time comes, this has got to be the cake for it.
Hot pink, smooth as glass frosting is tangled up in thin black ribbons. Black polka dots mark a subtle design, making the cake almost traditional — if it wasn’t for Read More
Airstream Wedding Cake
In one of my favorite theme weddings ever, this cake — and the whole wedding, actually — paid homage to all things fun and quirky. The bride wore a deep pink dress; the desserts included multicolored cupcakes sporting plastic butterflies, pinwheels, and kazoos; and the whole thing was done up in neon!
This cake, proclaiming that the couple is getting hitched, takes the pun a step further with a tiny Airstream trailer surrounded by — what else? Pink flamingos!
This is for the brides who don’t take themselves too seriously 😉
Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for February 6, 2011
Dreary, dreary, dreary. As we cross over that period of winter when we think we’re never going to have warm weather again, and into the hope that surely, spring is just around the corner, we at AWCB can’t think of anything that cheers us up better or faster than a towering confection of sugary love and Read More

Cupcakes…Glorious Cupcakes
We think there is nothing new under the cupcake sun…but we would be wrong. Because, while I love a good cupcake, I also love an original idea.
Clever Cupcakes has brought us such a beautiful display of tiny treasures that I’d just like to stare at the picture for a minute. Obviously, I think you will have the same reaction.
This tower of cupcakes is made up of no less than nine dozen of the tiny treasures! The chocolate cupcakes – YUM – are frosted with Read More
