Mini wedding cakes are so adorable! They have become a hot new trend; instead of having the traditional large wedding cake with just one flavor, mini cakes give your wedding guests the option of serval different flavors and designs to choose from. I would even consider having a different mini cake placed at each reception table, and then you can let your guests help themselves. Because of their … [Read more...]
Ruffles! They turn a wedding cake from boring to romantically beautiful.

To add even more pizzazz to your wedding cake, consider … [Read more...]
Black and White Wedding Cakes will always be in style, anything from round and feminine to square and contemporary.

Polka dots and ruffles are also very popular, adding a little bit of fun and whimsy into the design. You can also think beyond just the wedding cake and … [Read more...]

I can vividly remember my wedding cake and how much I "oohed" and "awed" over it, but looking … [Read more...]
Yum! I don't know about you, but I love a good dessert buffet. It's like finger food heaven with all of the different options; something sweet for everyone's taste.
