The President's daughter,
Jenna Bush, was
recently married in a lavish but down-to-earth wedding at her family's ranch in Texas. Few details have been released about the ceremony, reception, and menu
but rumor has it the cake was created by the
Ultimate Cheesecake Bakery. The tres leches/dulce de leche cake had whipped cream frosting and fresh floral arrangements.
Every time I check out the
Yum Market, I always end up looking at
serenityspeaks' bookmarks. She has lovingly hunted down tons of
wedding cakes, and even grouped them by color.
I'm rather fond of this incredibly unique
tiered cake with citrus accompaniments, but if it doesn't suit you scroll through her impressive list below.
First of all, let me start by saying I'm really sorry if you used any of these cake toppers at your wedding. Maybe I just don't get your humor. Secondly, let me add to that by saying these are some truly tacky cake toppers.
Once you've decided which
cake trend suits your wedding style, it's time to think about the flavor of the cake. Although many couples have differing tastes,
you can compromise on a flavor that suits both of you. Each layer can be different, or you can offer a variety of smaller cakes.
The wedding cake is the unspoken centerpiece of the wedding reception. Whether it's a chocolate sensation or a demure statement, everyone's bound to remark on what the cake looks like. This year there are more metallics, colors, and, of course, small cakes.
I was checking out the posts on TeamSugar when I came across this one in the
Cake Decorators Unite! group. Group founder
ashleyk4214 really stepped up her game and created
this gorgeous cake for a wedding this past weekend. It's a French vanilla cake with blueberry filling and vanilla buttercream icing.
I know that
wedding week was last week, but I have a feeling that some of you would be interested in this. Instead of having a traditional cake, why not opt for a cheese cake. When you hear someone say this, you immediately think, okay a cheesecake, I like cheesecake, maybe we can even have a nice berry topping.
Every now and again I will find a product that stops me in my tracks, takes my breath away, or makes me squeal a super-high pitched "I neeeeeeds it!"
Well,
these little birdie wedding cake toppers by Ann Wood actually made me do all three. Made from mostly vintage fabrics, trims and laces (including some from old too fragile to wear wedding dresses), these little birds will look absolutely darling on top of your wedding cake. They're handmade, and each set is pretty unique, she even does different variations - the standard bride/groom, as well as bride/bride and groom/groom versions.
So you've decided that you don't really want a traditional
wedding cake, but you're not so sure about
cupcake wedding cakes either. Well how about one made from Hostess creations. That's right, I'm talking about a cake made from Twinkies, Ding-Dongs, Ho Hos, Suzy Q's, Sno Balls and more.
Now that we've got the
wedding cake talk out of the way, I thought we'd talk about groom's cakes - what it is, if you need one, and if so what should you get?
First of all, a groom's cake is just a smaller (and usually whimsical) cake meant to reflect the groom's interests, hobbies, profession, etc. It can be served at the wedding, during the rehearsal dinner, or even at the engagement party (although that's more rare). However it was traditionally meant to be sliced and boxed for unmarried girls to take home and place under their pillows (you know, so they could dream about their groom to be), but we'll have none of that these days.
