BakeryThis is a totally crazy idea, but could be SO much fun: Have your reception in a large bakery's seating area. Make sure the bakery has glass windows looking in on the kitchen (like Georgetown Cupcakes' DC Cupcakes, on TLC). Ask your cake bakers if they can decorate your cake WHILE the reception is going on, so people can watch!...

Beauty and the BakeryI’ll be honest, if I didn’t get my degree in design, I’m pretty sure I would have ended up in pastry school! These little bakeries, pastry shops and confectionery wonders are so lovely and quaint. And the treats they bake up – I can only imagine how YUMMY they must be! I don’t know about you, but I could stare at these colorfully scrumptious photos all day long… - candice Purples… Pinks… Greens… Photo Credits: row 1: Dessert Table via Sweet and Saucy Supply row 2: Laduree Interior via Twig & Thistle row 3: Magnolia Bakery Icing via Catalina Kulczar Marin Photography r...

Bakery Bar(click to enlarge)These are some of my all time favorite wedding cakes from one of my all time favorite wedding cake stores, Bakery Bar. Their cakes are scrumptious, modern, delightful, whimsical and fantastic. And great. And fantastic...did I say that already? "All cakes come with your choice of one of our signature fondant decorations and an inscription, if desired...All of our decorations are made of fondant and are hand colored, rolled, cut and shaped by us. Details may be added with royal icing, edible luster dusts, and dark or white chocolate." My favorite new idea comes from their weddi...

Mock BakeryWhat an Idea! This Mock Bakery from a real wedding in Brides.com is absolutely fabulous! Obviously this costs a bundle, but if you're willing to make it a priority in your budget, it is something your guests will never forget. You could also recreate this by having your caterer set out a wide variety of desserts inside bookshelves, and have pink pastry boxes stacked up nearby....

Bakery BarI was reminded of the Bakery Bar yesterday and realized that I hadn't posted any of their lovely cakes on the blog before. Not all of these are in their "wedding cake" category but I thought that this strawberry cake was too adorable not to share. When you're looking at bakeries and trying to get an idea for cakes, don't just focus on the pictures of wedding cakes. There are often a lot of great and unique options that have been used for events other than weddings. If anyone is feeling inspired enough to order up that strawberry cake, you just let me know. And while we're on the subject, if ...

Wedding Cakes by Bakery BarAs I was working on our Portland Little Black Book, I stumbled across the most adorable cake company that I have seen in a while...Bakery Bar. Aside from their ridiculously cute holiday cakes, they also have some gorgeous wedding designs... Ummm...how great are these? The bird's nest is my favorite, though for a winter wedding, those snow men are just about as good as it gets. Love these! ...

Butch Meets BakeryWhat is it about a cupcake that makes a woman's heart go pitter-patter? Is it the miniature size that makes us think we are eating less? Or perhaps it's the gob of sweet, sugary delight neatly swirled on top? No matter the reason, cupcakes are a woman's pure delight. But, why don't men seem to respond in the same way when offered a little perfectly packaged treat? What is it about a cupcake that somehow makes it just a little bit girly?Well, for all those men out there that believe cupcakes are for women, we have a revolutionary culinary treat for you. From a New York bakery called Butch Baker...

Cake Inspiration: Bakery Bar!!!Bakery Bar was suggested to me as one of the best places to get a wedding cake in Oregon by our caterer for my mother's wedding. Well she switched her wedding to San Diego before we could get that far, but I wanted to showcase some of Bakery Bar's amazing work! Her fondant work is amazing, and if you're looking for something fun or modern, this is definitely the place to call!A great monogram cake, if you're looking for one! I love the red and silvery white.My absolute favorite. Especially because I'm really into the use of "lovebirds" in weddings lately.This is very simple but sweet for a spr...
