As I’m in the throws of a wedding bomboniere special at Australia Entertains, I thought it would be apt to present our Cake of the Week as wedding bomboniere.  There are so many options for presenting your wedding cake as a favor for your guests - miniature cakes, beautifully decorated cupcakes or slices of cake [...]

This week (and often lately) I am consumed by all things Japanese.  For this reason and so many others, Cherry Blossoms are on the top of my favourite blooms right now because not only do they make an outstanding table decoration, they are also a gorgeous theme for your wedding.  Who could resist the pretty, [...]

Are you a fan of divine cupcake wrappers like I am?  If so, I’ve been scouring the libraries of cake designers, magazines, wedding blogs and more to come up with my favourite images of how the best in the business have used cupcake wrappers to transform beautiful cupcakes into spectacular works of art.  I have [...]

Every year I ask for a carrot cake for my birthday.  I know it isn’t the usual birthday cake choice, but to me there is no better cake than the heavy, sweet base of a carrot cake, topped with cream cheese frosting.  Your wedding cake designer might kill me, but I see no reason you [...]

As an icing fanatic and someone in awe of those who are clever enough to make a living from decorating stupendous wedding, party and any type of celebration cake, I am dedicating Sundays to my choice of Cake of the Week.  I’m starting with my favourite Canberra wedding cake designer, Cakes of Your Dreams, who delivered this [...]

Getting married on the Easter long-weekend is a wonderful idea for so many reasons.  The weather is usually spectacular (aren’t Autumn weekends the best?), the leaves are turning rich shades of fall colours and everyone has the weekend off work, so there is virtually no excuse not to travel and enjoy a festive wedding.  I [...]
