Awesometastic Party: Delicious

If I would have known that putting pineapple in the oven would have made a beautiful edible flower, I would have tried it years ago!

Cookies and Milk Cake

I was thinking about food (which frankly isn't a new thing for me) and when I was, I came across this cake on Pinterest. And really, if you'ven been on Pinterest for at least 20 seconds, it's a terrible thing for your waist line.

Which I thought was ironcal, because when Amy planned my baby shower, it was a Milk and Cookies theme, and Posh Pastry made THIS amazing cake for me. This cake was just as delicious as it looks!

Oreo Wedding Cake

Double stuff, triple stuffed, chocolate peanut butter, mint....how do you do Oreos?? I'm a little partial to the double stuff myself. Whichever Oreo is your favorite, I don't think anyone can say no to this awesometastic Oreo Cake we found on Party Starters!

Now all I need is a glass of milk! Is this cake a slam dunk or what?!?

Rose Cake

Buying a cake can be an expensive part of the wedding budget....so when I saw this gorgeous DIY cake of white roses from I Am Baker I just had to share!



This cake looks so simple to make and makes a serious statement! You can get all the steps on I Am Baker!

How awesometastic is this cake?!?

Would you give it a try? I am so tempted!

Beautiful Barrel Cake

Simple cakes, Traditional cakes, cupcakes, Crazy cakes...let's be honest, we love them all. If it has the word "cake" anywhere in it, I'm totally a fan (except for salmon cakes, but we won't count that).


That is why when I saw this awesometastic and super artistic cake over at Cake Wrecks, I really did just have to share. It's seriously THE coolest.

...Seriously, though. I still cannot get over how much this cake is the exact definition of fantastical. The details. The realistic-ness. I cannot even handle this much crafty-cool.

Have you seen any cakes lately that have just blown your mind? 

KB Kakes new Location

From Click and Order to Brick and Mortar! (Clever, eh?) Just I just came up with that... as I was typing! Sometimes I impress myself with my clever'ness.

I digress.



I am so thrilled that our dear friends over at KB Kakes will very soon have an All-You-Eat Kake Truffle Location!



Okay, so they aren't going to have an AYCE Truffle Bar, that was only a dream, BUT they are going to have a new location, and bakery, and coffee shop!



I can't wait!



I'll update you as more information becomes available on the location and when the Grand Opening Party is going to be!

Cake Inspirations

During the ceremony everyone is focused on the bride and groom, and of course, the bride's dress.



But when it's time for the reception, the focal point is undeniably the cake. Which makes it all the harder to wait to eat it!

These are some gorgeous wedding cake inspirations from Better Home & Gardens made by Delicately Delicious Bakery that we just had to share! 

So elegant!

How awesometastic are these floral cake toppers?!?

Traditions: Tiered Cake

In the spirit of the upcoming holiday season and the traditions that are carried out each year, a few posts on wedding traditions is an absolute must!

via Ms. Debbie's Cakes

Today we're starting with the most delicious part of any wedding reception- the wedding cake!

As much as we love the new trends of dessert tables and cupcake cakes, there is just something to be said for the tradition behind the tiered wedding cake.

via KB Cakes

The tradition of having a tiered cake at the wedding reception started back in Anglo-Saxon times. Each guest brought a small cake to the wedding and those cakes were stacked on top of each other. Later, a clever French baker created a cake in the shape of the small cakes and covered it in frosting, which is now what we know as the tiered cake. (Source of wedding cake wisdom)

Pretty cool, huh? Who knew that cake shape had so much meaning and history!?

Inspired Cake

Getting married is a big step (or giant leap. po-tay-to, pa-tahhhh-to) into the big world of adult-hood. Starting a new life with someone you love is without a doubt a very mature decision.



However, that does not mean that your inner child cannot come out a play from time to time, which is why we are absolutely enamored with this adorabler and super fun cake,by  Dream Day Cakes This cake was designed for the opening of a play at one of our local theaters, but we find it so inspiring for many aspects of crazy cakery deliciousness!

How fun and just plain adorable is this cake?! It's so playful, carefree, and most likely ridiculously delicious.

Does anyone else suddenly have a strange craving for coloring books and cake?

DIY Week Part 3

For part three of DIY week I couldn't resist these cupcake signs from Boho Weddings & Events. As if cupcakes aren't adorable enough, these signs make them even more perfect!

I would say "I do" to these cupcakes, wouldn't you??

Hiring Professionals for your Wedding

Beautiful Cake Courtesy of The Knot

When searching for the perfect baker for your wedding cake, always bring inspriation with you. In this instance, the bride brought this picture to her baker and said:



"I love this cake, can you make this happen for me?"



The baker replied:



"I have never done anything like that, but I'll give it a try"



The bride said:



"Are you sure? This is my wedding and I want it perfect"



The baker replied:



"I'm new at this, but it looks easy enough..."



And, this is what she got.

Not the same as above

Beware!!! Please hire professionals, look at their images, get referrals from professionals in your area, don't let your wedding be their test. You are looking to be disappointed.



There are so many amazing cake bakers in Gainesville, here are just a few:

Mini Wedding Cakes!

I came across this fantastic post on the Austin Wedding Blog and it was too adorable not to share! Mini- wedding cakes have been around for a while, but I've never seen a mini-wedding cake pan like this! It's too cute for words so I will just share the picture with you.

Mini-wedding cakes are a great alternative or addition to a traditional wedding cake. If you wanted something a little fancier than cupcakes, these are really a great idea! Here are a few other cutesy mini-cakes that I just love!

Brides Florida - Cake

I do enjoy looking through wedding magazines. Really, I do.



Then again, I do like to critique them as well. There are something things that these magazines say, advertise, suggest, send subliminal messages on, write stories on, that I don't agree with. But then again we are all entitled to our opinion.



With that said, this season's issue of Brides Florida was really good. I enjoyed it.



There was one article that stood out to me.



It was about cake. (I love cake...don't tell...)



It was this article:

Yes, I for real ripped it out of the magazine!



And only because, that Black and White cake... I've seen something similar.

Photo by Footstone Photography

Ms. Debbie, in Gainesville, Florida made a similar cake.



And the reason I bring this up, and I think that these prices that they have listed, are quite dependent on where you live. New York, Miami, and Small Town, USA all have different pricing.



The flavor the cake, the quality of the fillings, the number of teirs.... all play a roll. The design as well, and I get that, really I do. But I think that some of these prices may scare brides away from using a local, amazing baker. And then they run to a grocery store chain and think they've saved a bundle - when in fact, a lot of the time the prices may not save them money. And may compromise the quality of the cake.



Stepping off my soap box.
