Lovin’ You Like I Love Cake
September 3rd, 2008 @ 3:58 pm by Mr. Mango
What can I say? I’m a sucker for cake, with the exception of carrot, because it my firm belief that vegetables and sugar were never meant to be mixed together, and I might go as far as to say that the combination may be a violation of one of the laws of nature. However, I have to admit that my palette for cakes and pastries may not be as refined as my female counterparts here on WB. That’s right. I love cheap cake mixes and the frosting that comes in cans.
Hey Cupcake!

nom nom nom!
Now, I know I’ve already committed to a crazy fondant groom’s cake, a delicious cheesecake buffet, a bundt cake for my cake pull, and a traditional bride’s cake! Whew! That’s a lot of sugar! That being said, Mr. Lemonade and I also have a great love of cupcakes. Now, we’re not talking any old cakes. Ours have to be cupcakes from Hey Cupcake here in Austin.
Glamnuptials: Le Gateau
September 2nd, 2008 @ 2:15 pm by Mrs. Flamingo
Our wedding cake was so beautiful! It was literally a show stopper, or should I say a conversation starter. All our guests commented on how unique and glamorous it was, and it made me extremely happy to know that people actually paid attention. We wanted something unique, and thanks to all you readers, we finally had the perfect balance of brown, ivory and design.
For our cake topper, we used a vintage crystal glass that my step-mother had, and used the remaining arylic crystals that we used for our escort cards. I put a tealight candle in the glass so that way at night our cake would have its own mini chandelier.

Let Them Eat (Cup)Cakes and Do Shots!
August 29th, 2008 @ 1:36 pm by Miss Dumpling
I absolutely adore cake, and I would eat it for every meal if I could (shh! Don’t tell the South Beach Diet people!), but we won’t be having one at our wedding. Sigh.
When we first started looking at wedding cakes, I got so excited thinking about all of the possibilities out there. Chocolate raspberry? Yes! Carrot Cake? Mmm hmm! A different flavor for every tier? Okay! We even found a baker we liked, so we sent her a picture of our dream cake, along with our budget, and she responded that it was all definitely doable. So, we had a cake tasting and we were thrilled! The cakes were delicious!
Here’s the dream cake photo we showed the baker. Photo from The Knot.
Fancy Cake Hats

If there’s one accessory or detail we haven’t really thought about, it’s probably the cake topper. I guess we never considered having one until I saw how much variation in toppers there are these days. From clay custom models to adorable little birds, there really is a style for every couple.
We’ll start with the classic monogram and script cake toppers:

Sugar Shock
August 28th, 2008 @ 11:59 am by Miss Lemonade
I love sugar. Seriously. I absolutely love it. There is rarely an evening that passes that I don’t ask Mr. Lemonade to take me out for ice cream (and he almost always obliges). Thus, wedding cake decisions are VERY important to us. And not just wedding cake. We plan on doing it up right for our guests that might happen to have a sweet tooth like I do.
At first, we figured we’d do the requisite candy buffet that is so popular right now. However, Mr. Lemonade really doesn’t like candy and it is his wedding as much as it is mine. What he does like is cheesecake.
How much fun would a cheesecake buffet be? I actually found a photo of one a while ago on the Knot (I think… if it’s yours, let me know and I’ll credit you or have it removed).
Charmed, I’m Sure!

One of my favorite southern wedding traditions is the cake pull. I plan on having mine at my ladies’ tea the day before our wedding and think it’s going to be so much fun!

What is a cake pull, you ask?!
A Crazy Cake!
August 25th, 2008 @ 3:16 pm by Mrs. Penguin
Our groom’s cake was one detail I simply could not just gloss over! Groom’s cakes are a less heard of wedding detail here in California. I’d never even heard of the concept until I started reading Weddingbee, and I didn’t think much of it until I started thinking about how much Mr. Penguin would appreciate his own groom’s cake. I had asked our bride’s cake baker if she would think about whipping up a second “themed” cake for us, and she agreed with hesitation, as she typically makes normal, tiered cakes. I didn’t want to push her limits, so I eventually gave up on the idea, until I met Lien from the Crazy Cake Company. At the time, Lien was new on the cake scene here in the Sacramento area (she’s based out of Davis) but her portfolio was impressive and I knew I had to give her a try!
What, No Coconut Cake?!

Continuing with our wedding planning excursion, we stopped at our baker and picked up our cake tasting. We get the option of picking a different flavor for each tier, but I had no idea the cakes would be this huge! Since we were 35 minutes away from home, and just couldn’t wait any longer, we did a drive-by cake tasting just outside our wedding venue!
We didn’t have a knife, so we just forked it. Ya know.

Kara’s Cake Topper
August 12th, 2008 @ 1:59 pm by Mrs. Bee
Weddingbee reader Kara won a custom cake topper from Lily’s Design in a giveaway we hosted in May of this year. Today she emailed us some pictures of herself with her hubby on their wedding day, and of course their wonderful cake topper!
I promised to send pictures of the AWESOME custom cake topper that I won on weddingbee.com and that Lily made for me. Lily was such a pleasure to work with and very responsive — and, as you can tell, she did a great job!!! Below are some pictures of the topper — isn’t it awesome? I also included a few pictures of Joe and I so you can see how much it looks like us. I HIGHLY recommend Lily’s cake toppers to everyone, especially the wedding bees!!!
All the best (and thanks for such a supportive and inspiring website)!!

Thanks Kara! I have to agree that the cake topper really looks like you and your hubby! If you’ve won a Weddingbee prize in one of our past contests, please email us pictures from your big day and you might see them featured on the blog!
