Bridal Cake Pictures
Wedding Week 2007

Well, wouldn't you know it, I goofed! I was trying to work ahead a bit on my posts & clicked to publish one I started Saturday evening. BUT I meant for it to be TONIGHT'S post. I'm afraid someone will miss it, so please keep scrolling below to see some amazing wedding cakes.....delicious eye candy!

AND if anyone out there knows how to tell me to keep this kind of goof up from happening again, please post a comment for me!

Hugs,

Wedding Cakes, Toppers & Bride Dolls
Wedding Week 2007


June is just such a wonderful month for a wedding! Of course, I would think that, as our wedding anniversary is June 14th, Flag Day. Below is our Bride & Groom Wedding Cake Topper. Hmmmm, it is turning slightly "ivory" where it once was bright white......wonder what THAT means?!?!

Below are a couple of pictures of a cake my daughter designed for me. Ours was originally an all white confection which I think is just timeless classic beauty, but these days, if I had it to do over again, I think I might go "PINK!" So, I can keep this one out year round now & satisfy my need for a pink wedding cake in my wedding themed bedroom!

This is my prized porcelain Scarlett O'Hara Bride Doll by Seymour Mann. I was lucky enough to purchase her from a fellow GONE WITH THE WIND enthusiast that was sizing down her collection. She is exquisite, especially with those green glass eyes & pearl necklace & tons of bridal satin & lace. Thanks, Deb, I'm giving her a great new home!
Funny story, my granddaughter who lives with us, says this doll absolutely creeps her out! She recently made us remove all dolls with glass eyes from her bedroom so she could sleep. What is up with that?!? Maybe she saw my pal Karla's post on what she did to a poor nephew when he came home for a visit! Check out her cute sense of humor at karla's cottage!!

I've got lots more wedding pictures & things to share with you all this week ~ please join me & my friend Lori at pink faded roses for more wedding goodies & tidbits! Would love to see some of you post some of your wedding stories, goodies, trivia, etc, too! Hope to see you here again tomorrow!

Hugs,
Stephanie




Wedding Week 2007


Amazing Wedding Cakes

Thought that I would share some amazing wedding cakes with you tonight. I found these on www.betterhomesandgardens.com . Aren't they just lovely?!?! Old fashioned as I am, I can see the trend for using more colors & themes on today's cakes. They each have their own appeal.

Ribbons 'n Bows takes on a whole new meaning!

An adorable pink cake with fresh flowers & buttons & loops "closures" decorations!


What a gorgeous cake with faux lace icing! Yummy!!


A very sophisticated cake with fondant icing. Love those calla lillies!

My favorite one.....I just love the scrolls & "quilted" look ~ think my daughter has decided on one very similar to this for her November wedding! She wants to design & add 2 more layers to it & will also have a triple monogram included on one layer with tone on tone icing. She intends to use fresh pink roses & pink-edged white roses on top & cascading down one side!!

I don't have access to a scanner, but will try to get a picture of my wedding cake to share with you later in the week.

By the way, how many of you are accustomed to seeing both a bride's AND a groom's cake at wedding receptions? I have always lived in TX, & we always have BOTH, but I've recently been talking to several friends over the internet who have never seen a groom's cake.....so tomorrow I will try to post a few pics of my favorite groom's cakes!

Stephanie
