The Sweetest Occasion

Any day when I have the opportunity to share something pretty is a good day in my book, so I’m happy to kick off the weekend with this elegant wedding dessert buffet in shades of white and ivory. Sent over by Sandra Downie, I just love the classic white wedding cake that takes center stage [...]

I’m throwing a baby shower this weekend and in lieu of cake I’ve decided to throw together a quick make your own sundae station. I can’t think of anything more perfect for the hot, humid summer days we’re living right now. Ice cream also happens to be my favorite food (ever) so needless to say [...]

By this point, my love for sweets and goodies is well documented so it seems to fitting to welcome the lovely Bird of Dog ‘n Bird Artful Wedding to share her picks for fun and unique wedding dessert ideas. Without further ado, I’ll turn it over to Bird…

Have I ever told you about my obsession with ice cream? No? Ok then, allow me to introduce myself. “Hi, my name is Cyd and I am addicted to ice cream.” No, seriously, ice cream is my favorite food.

Because we all know that I can’t resist sweets, I’m back with another dose of sugary inspiration from Cakewalk today. This time it’s a spread of pretty cakes on gorgeous vintage cake stands and teensy cupcakes perched atop cupcake stands, just like mine from Farmhouse Wares. This assortment of cakes and cupcakes, all in pink [...]

Spied yesterday over at the Project Wedding blog, I couldn’t resist sharing this homemade wedding cake. With classic buttercream frosting and a pair of sweet paper rosettes in lieu of a big fussy cake with a fancy cake topper, I’m just in love with everything about this cake – in fact, it reminds me a [...]

Some days you just need a little pick-me up. Today, my pick-me up takes the form of drooling over these summery rhubarb tarts. They look nearly too adorable to eat. Which is not to say I wouldn’t eat them, because I most certainly would. And I would love every last bite.

This incredible buttery yellow dessert table, showcasing the talents of Sweet & Saucy Shop and In the Now Weddings + Events, was shot by one of my favorite photographers, Nicole Hill Gerulat. I love the various [...]
