Cake love: a cheerful fete inspired wedding cake with mini bunting

The last few wedding cakes featured on my Cake Love blog posts have been quite elegant, so I thought it was time for something a bit more light-hearted and fun.  This cheerfully decorated wedding cake is all about the tiny bunting that is wrapped around it – I can already imagine a couple of ways to create it at home – my first thoughts being punched paper circles folded over sewing thread and stuck in place. Washi tape would be fun and gets rid of the need to glue paper together, but I’m not sure you’d be able to make …

Cake love: a summery tiered Victoria sponge with lemon curd and strawberries

One of my lovely readers, Adeline, yesterday wrote about the search for her perfect wedding cake (read about it here), and I was delighted on reading through to find out she had found inspiration from my blog.  She had fallen in love with one of the tiered Victoria sponge wedding cakes that I’ve featured a few of on my Cake Love postings, and so today, for Adeline, I wanted to post another wedding cake like it. This one’s a bit different to the other Victoria sponge wedding cakes, which have tended to be a lot slimmer and taller.  This one …

Cake love: a wedding cake covered in golden origami cranes

My Cake Love posts are all about wedding cakes I love – I really didn’t like wedding cakes as I knew them when I started out in the world of weddings, and then on discovering them many wonderful wedding blogs out there I realised wedding cakes didn’t have to be boring or overly fussy. My aim with the Cake Love posts is to inspire you, either with wedding cakes that I think are just really beautiful, or ones that are a bit different.  Today’s wedding cake I think falls under both beautiful and different.  Yes, underneath it might be quite …

Cake love: a rustic wintery woodland wedding cake of chocolate

This might be one of my favourite winter wedding cakes – I’m not sure I’ve seen that many really wintery sweet wedding cakes, with fruit pies and pork pies (remember last weeks!) seem to be a good wintery alternative to wedding cake.  But this one, with it’s three layers from dark to white chocolate, sat a top of pies of branches, and decorated with ivy, red berries, lichen covered twigs and pines cones, just captures the whole spirit of winter. If you’re looking for wedding cake inspiration, and what something a bit different or more natural looking, don’t forget out …

Cake love: a giganotosaurus homemade wedding cake of pork pies and cheese

I have been overwhelmed by a stack of beautiful wedding cake pictures for my Cake Love feature, so picking today’s has been difficult.  Anyway, after much umming and aahing I’ve settled for this magnificent ‘cake’ of pork pies, cheese, and a fruit cake.  Wow.  And all made by a mommy (I must note here that I am not American, I am English, but spent a couple of years living in America when I was younger and my mum decided she preferred being a mom, so that’s the tale behind that one). Back to cake – this cake it just beyond …

Cake love: a kitsch country wedding cake with pretty topper

Today’s wedding cake has a vintage country kitsch feel to it, with a fun mustard yellow tin/box used as a cake stand and a jam jar-esque cake topper.  If you want a wedding cake that captures some of the country living nostalgia then this cake could be for you.  I love the idea of using a fun and colourful tin as a cake stand. I couldn’t resist including another image today of the wedding cake topper – it looks a bit like a jar of jam with a frilly lace cover, but I’m not sure it is a real jar …

Cake love: a Bacchus inspired wedding cake of fruits and wild berries

This beautiful wedding cake reminded me of Bacchus, god of the grape harvest, wine and winemaking – a late summer wedding cake of understated opulence, with its bunches of purple grapes, ripe fig halves, sprays of blackberry brambles, and the deep wine stained Dahlias and Scabious flowers. I love that it’s not been ‘over done’ with fruit, berries and grapes, that it is reserved yet still has that wild and Garden of Eden like feel to it.  If you are sourcing your wedding flowers from a local grower, ask them for additional flowers to decorate your wedding cake – they …
