This makes me happy...

I've always loved this cake and I finally found a picture of it, so I thought I'd share it. It's simple, but so happy. I also like how it takes fondant and makes it look less perfect then usual. Fondant is helpful if you live in the heat soaked South, but I've always hated the look of it for the most part. This is a little messy...like me!

Look what I found...

Kate was gracious enough to allow me to post her fabulous cake on here. It just what I would want with a few minor changes. Doesn't it look yummy?  I think it would look great with three small tiers and a few ranunculus or garden roses. We can't all be lucky enough to have a date during peony season. They're so beautiful on there. I'm pouting just a bit...

So simple, yet so chic. Just like Kate! ;)

Cake goodness...

I know that I included one of her cakes in my last post and that April Reed certainly isn't a new discovery or anything, but I. LOVE. HER. WORK. Honestly, this first cake has been saved in my inspiration files for FOREVER and it's the exact cake I'd like to have if we decide to do a cake. It fits the venue and my personal taste so perfectly. She has such a great vision and style. Not to mention that she is incredibly talented and her sugar flowers are ridiculous. Which one would you choose?

Let them eat cake...

I'm apparently drawn to cakes that have different heights for each layer. I'm in love with the first cake, by April Reed. It's so simple and it looks very modern, but classic at the same time. Maybe we should have a cake after all. We won't be outside anymore and there are tons of great bakers/pastry chefs locally. Hmmm...something to think about.

I just figured out how to schedule posts...so don't be shocked if I start writing more! This is fun. It was written two days ago to post tonight! I'm always the last to figure out the cool stuff!
