upside down cake

And I'm not talking about the pineapple kind, necessarily.  Typically, wedding cakes have gradually increasing tiers, so the bottom tier is the largest.  However, if you want to put a unique spin on a classic cake, consider these...

Inverted pyramids gives the cake an edgier shape!

But hey, if you want a pineapple upside down cake at your wedding, go right ahead.  Looks matter, but in my book, taste matters just as much.  And these cakes are delicious.

Happy Sunday everyone!

wedding cakes gone wrong...or right?

This post should probably be titled "Inspiration: I don't event know".  You'll understand why in a little.

One thing I've been saying lately is that anything goes on your wedding day -- it's your wedding day.  So go ahead, break the rules and go non-traditional.  Be unique.  Have a Nike shoe wedding cake and be proud of it!

However, the other day I was looking at Cake Wrecks -- they've documented many wedding cakes, and it's made me reconsider the "do anything you want rule."  I mean, extra points for creativity and having a cake probably no one else will ever have (EVER), but maybe there's a line we need to draw for ridiculousness...

I'll let you decide! Here's a few of my favorites.

It's the leaning tower of...cake? I think your wedding day is stressful enough -- now you have to worry about your cake falling over!

I'm a fan of bright colors, but there's a line I have to draw.

This looks like layers of rocks. Enough said.

Yes.  That's live fish in champagne glasses.

This is just a small sample -- go check out Cake Wrecks!  It's hilarious!

wedding cakes: Nike Edition

I read a lot of blogs -- especially ones about weddings, everything and anything related to weddings.  Photography. DIY projects. Flowers. Cakes.

One of my favorite things to do is come up with creative ideas for my friends' weddings that uniquely capture their interests and personalities.  Some people have their own weddings planned out in their heads.  Not so for me -- I only got so far as my color scheme, and even then I'm unsure.  But other people -- I'm all for coming up with creative ideas.

I have a friend who loves shoes -- and when I say shoes, I mean Nike Jordans.  She's even gone so far to describe them as "sexy."  So the other day, when I was looking at Sweet and Saucy Shop's blog and came across a Nike cake, I was stoked!  And they even happen to be her wedding shoes too (yeah, she's got all white Jordan elevens).  Let's just say I was extremely excited and sent this to her immediately.  Who says you can't have a Nike cake at your wedding? Goodbye 3 tier round cake, hello Nike! Check out this awesome cake!
