 yay birthdays!
well i'm excited to say it's my birthday this long weekend. 
thanks so much for the lovely well-wishes, nicies!

thought we'd finish off the week with some delicious + beautiful cakes to take us into this celebratory few days!

i went with a pretty floral + lacey + ruffley theme this year.
can you believe all of these artisanal cakes are handmade? that all of those flowers aren't real live flora but made of sugary goodness? amazing!

i know most of these are to be wedding cakes, but i think a beautiful cake is perfect for ANY occasion!

what's your favourite kind of cake? 

i adore my mom's famous upside down peach + brown sugar cake + pretty much anything with chocolate! 

have a celebratory-great-weekend, nicies!

woohoo!

  1. Wow!!!!

    Is that orchid not real? Amazing!

    My girlfriend and I took a cake decorating class at Michael's once and after 4 weeks everyone was making beautiful flowers. Everyone except ME! So I can especially appreciate the intricacy of these.

    Happy Birthday, RR!
    (And I'm a Lemon Poppyseed cake lover! YUM!!!!)

  10. Mmm. . .these look so good!
    My favourite kind of cake is chiffon, with meringue icing. I made one for my husband's birthday earlier this week, and we ate the whole thing in just three days!

  12. OMG, that pink ruffle cake just makes me want to lick the screen. Celebration cakes deserve their reputation for stopping the party. They are so worthy. x
