Love Bird Cake

From The Frosted Cake Shop.

Okay, admittedly I know what I would like our cake to look like and this ain't it but it sure is cute!

That's a Sweet Cake

Cool right? Instructions and more pictures on Omnomicon.

You have to admit, if our beautiful multi-layered white cake were cut open to reveal a rainbow, it'd be pretty cool...

Jackpot!

Yes; a way to include martinis in our wedding day (and still remember it)!

Okay, so I know the idea of serving a small course in a martini glass is nothing new, but for a gal know for her signature drink (dirty martini) this would be soooo cute! Extra points if the course can involve olives...

I Also Love the Duckies

The Frenchie and I just spent out third Valentine's together and, as has become tradition, it involved sushi.

So, in that vein, please enjoy this sushi wedding cake:

According to the designer, the bulk of this "cake" is apparently made up of sushi rice (sturdy enough to form stable rounds). Regular cake pans were used for molds onto which was added huge quantities of salmon, yellowtail and ahi, each placed carefully in the bottom of each cake pan.

You can see a recipe for the cake along with the photos of the finished product here.

Found on SlashFood.

Mmmmm... Cupcakes

In keeping with the dessert theme:

I don't know why, but I find the mini bride and groom hysterical. You can find these at sugarcraft.com.

Good times.

Save the Dates...?

Still waiting for the guest list to receive the Save the Dates. Thanks to some Upstate New York elves I did not have to spend a week of my vacation assembling, addressing and stamping them all. Of course I have not shown them to anyone (save the Frenchie) and am just dying to hear what people think.

In the meantime, enjoy some Italian Wedding Cookies on Sopressata.

If We Were Doing Favors

Here's an interesting idea for a fall wedding that I had not heard before: candy apples as favors.
In our case - to go with the color scheme - yellow delicious with red candy coating. Yum!
