You know how it is that by the end of your own wedding party, you’ll come to realize that you don’t recall having tasted the food or worse, you don’t remember having eaten at all? It’s quite common and a lot of the people I know can attest to how often that happens.
But let’s say you’ve got this wonderful opportunity to sneak in a sweet or two? Or having a couple of cupcakes reserved exclusively to the bride and groom?

Will You be Serving a Groom’s Cake?

I came across a little wedding tradition that I happen to think that’s something quite interesting. Serving groom’s cakes on weddings.
I found out that this is a tradition typically associated with the American South1 and is usually flavored fruitcake.
If wedding cakes are usually decorated white, light and more feminine, the groom’s cake takes on a more fun, elaborate and unconventional cake designs.
The groom’s cake seen above is one of the better examples of how one can look like. It takes on the funny wedding cake topper showing off a bride dragging a fireman to the altar.
Other designs can be as …read more
Nouveau-Art Wedding Cake

We’re all used to seeing the traditional tiered white round cakes served on weddings. I have to admit that when I saw this square cake, it definitely caught my attention. It’s not everyday do we see this type of tiered cake — for any occasion.
Apart from it being known as Nouveau-Art, they’re also called Mod wedding cakes.
“For today’s bride and groom, this nouveau-art cake. The colors are clear and strong, the shape clean and linear, the mood mod.” from The Wilton Book of Wedding Cakes, 1971
It’s such a pretty wedding cake! The combination of colors are lovely, a bit feminine …read more

This feature on the bride and groom personified by these rubber duckies makes me what to sing “Rubber ducky, you’re the one. You make bath time lots of fun!” Channeling Ernie of Sesame Street. It certainly tickles your inner child, don’t you agree?
I like looking at certain wedding details, which some brides overlook. Wedding cake toppers might fall under the “least important” category and one would often settle for whatever comes with the wedding cake or perhaps entirely leave it off. I have to admit that I’ve attended weddings wherein there were no wedding cake toppers to be found. It’s …read more

If there are techie geeks, there are food geeks and I believe they’re often referred to as foodies. Though most enjoy food (consumption, mostly), these select individuals share a passion which encompasses preparation, various cuisine experiments, exploring restaurants, fanatics of chefs and cooking shows, and yes the act of eating food for both need and entertainment.
Can you imagine the menu of choice for foodies tying the knot? I think this is one wedding reception you wouldn’t want to miss out on.
Inspired by this community that’s becoming more and more visible in societies around the world, I’m highlighting a delectable find …read more

Sometimes, the details are what makes the entire theme of the wedding effective. We have to admit that coming up with colors, materials, decor will need a certain element to pull everything together. We’re after the impact. We’re setting the mood. We’re choosing the best ways to express the couple’s personality, hopefully, carved well into the whole aesthetic effect from the wedding ceremony to the wedding reception.
One of the details that’s important since it’s one of the more noticeable things in this special occasion, is the wedding cake.
