Frosting Straight Up

Friday, May 29th, 2009

I am a frosting fiend, so when I heard about Sprinkles Cupcakes‘ frosting shots, I knew I was in heaven.    Sprinkles is supposed to be opening a location in Denver soon!  Until then, make your own and serve them at your next party.  Yum!

White Chocolate and Lemon Wedding Cake Recipe

Saturday, May 9th, 2009

While I do not encourage brides to make their own wedding cake, I think this recipe from Epicurious sounds delicious!  Making your own wedding cake is WAY TOO STRESSFUL, and there is way too much to do the week of the wedding.  Have a friend make this for you as their gift and make sure they do a practice cake first!  Click here for the recipe: White Chocolate and Lemon Wedding Cake

This cake, created by Sugar in Oklahoma, caught my eye.  I love the colors and the hand painted tiles.  It would be so pretty at a spring or summer wedding.

Ice Cream Cone Cupcakes

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

I love this idea.  Created by The Blushing Bakeshop in Washington D.C., these ice cream cones are actually beautifully disguised cupcakes.   They’re almost too pretty to eat!

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

This is a cute idea for a party or shower.  Instead of serving cake, consider having “decorate your own” cupcakes.

This chocolate wedding cake is from Classic Cakes of Aspen.  The roses and hydrangea are truly stunning, and the stand made from a tree really adds to the organic look.  Bravo!
