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.
Lighthouse Wedding Cake
True story..you can make a cake look like ANYTHING. Including a lighthouse..with a slide coming out of the top and little tiny fondant members of the wedding party sliding down. I seriously scrolled through the Flickr album hoping that I could get some sort of clue HOW this wedding cake came Read More
Love Among the Tartans: A Celtic Cake
Kara Buntin of A Cake to Remember of Richmond, Virginia, has created my Dream Wedding Cake.
What is it with me, wedding cake, and chick flicks featuring Julia Roberts? But here we go again.
Remember that scene in “Steel Magnolias,” where the ladies are discussing the wedding decorations in a Pepto-pink church? And a demure – and very, very young – Julia Roberts remarks Read More
Disney Beach Wedding Cake
I’ll be the first to admit that I am counting down the days to my Disney/Beach trip in May. I’m dreaming of fun warm Disney days followed by days relaxing on the beach. I want to wind in my hair, the sand between my toes and to lotion myself up with stuff that smells like tropical fruit. Too much information..maybe..
When I saw this cake feature on Disney’s Fairytale Weddings and Honeymoon’s Ever After Blog (say that three times fast) I almost Read More
And the Bride Saves Him Right Back…
You know that line in “Pretty Woman,” the one where Richard Gere asks Julia Roberts what happens after the knight saves the princess? “She saves him right back,” she replies.
That came to mind when I saw this beautiful and whimsical cake.
There are several things that I love about it. Read More
For everything there is a season..
Including cakes! I have to admit when I saw this cake from a distance I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on.
Then with closer inspection I realized that this is a basic three tiered square cake. Only this cake was a little different! On each side there is a tree and each tree represents a different season. It’s the weather cycle at its best folks. Now, this isn’t something that could just be slapped on a cake Read More
Newsflash
Did you know that there are some people out there who DON’T like cake?
I am not one of these people, however, I totally believe in the person’s right to choose. Here’s the conundrum..what if you’re getting married..and you just don’t like cake? Or you have certain health reasons that prohibit you from eating cake? Do you want to spend a good chunk of your wedding budget on something you can’t enjoy? Probably not. So then you’re left with either skipping it all together or coming up with some kind of compromise and that’s exactly what this couple did when they came up with Read More
Here is where I died..and went to cupcake heaven
I know we haven’t known each other long, but I think you know by now Christen + cupcakes = love. Therefore it’s not uncommon that you’ll see blog post about my aforementioned love for cupcakes (and my love for words including the word “fore” apparently). I love them all..vanilla, chocolate, old school (vanilla cake & chocolate icing) and any other Read More
Angry Birds Cake Toppers
Over Christmas I became an iNerd. And my newest obsession? The Angry Birds. I have become one of those people who is constantly whipping out her iPhone to play this game. Ironically, real life birds are numero uno on the “List of Ridiculous Things Christen is Scared of”. Number two, you ask? Hot Dogs.
Anyway…you better believe with my new iNerdom I flipped out when I saw Edible Angry Bird Cake Toppers. Oh yeah, I went there. You can buy the Read More
Cell Phone Cake Topper
Let’s face it — everyone’s had that one dinner out where you’re both caught up in an important call and paying little to no attention to each other! Especially if you’re high-powered executives, socialites, or just friends with everyone, it’s tough to put down the phone these days 😉
This “gift of gab” cake topper is perfect for the communicative and connected couple!
CakePop-tacular!
Aside from Harry Burnett Reese who invented chocolate and peanut butter candy this has to be my favorite merger of two things that you don’t think would go together until..suddenly they do..and all is right with the world. Is it Read More
