Cake, Cake, for goodness sake!

The details, small and large, are really what make your wedding special and unique. One of the most prominent places to show off your unique and innovative aesthetic is the wedding cake. What you know is, in addition to the wedding dress, your guests are pretty eager to see what the cake looks like. In recent years, with the popularity of celebrity cake designer, Sylvia Weinstock and the surge in popularity of cake-related reality shows (Ace of Cakes, Cake Boss), cakes have become a highly detailed and designed aspect of the wedding. No more stark, white tiers, with a little piping.

If you’re feeling adventurous and are looking to move further toward a spin on the traditional, consider some options. Designing your cake with the added touch of your favorite candy adds an additional layer of sweetness and certainly some nostalgia. What a conversation piece “buttons” could make when added to a tiered confection!

More and more, cake pops and macarons are becoming a regular part of the dessert foodie conversation. The drama and depth of a tower of these sweets is virtually unmatched.

Our new favorite is the mini bundt cake, designed for each guests to take home. Want a fabulous send off? Let them eat cake!

Mackenzie-Childs at Neiman Marcus

Have you ever come across a brand that makes you swoon? I’m certain you have. My most recent swooning episode occurred when I was made aware of Mackenzie-Childs, the amazing brand dedicated to handmade and handcrafted homegoods. Designed, crafted and finished by select group of artisans, these pieces are true works of art and a treasure to be had.

Recently, Mackenzie-Childs partnered with Girls, Inc, to support ongoing efforts to deliver life-changing programs that inspire girls to be strong, smart and bold. Mackenzie-Childs plans to host a number of educational and creative opportunities at their Aurora, New York.

Don’t miss the grand opportunity to see Mackenzie-Childs‘ Creative Director, Rebecca Proctor, introduce the company’s new ceramic collection, Parchment Check. The event will be held at Neiman Marcus (another swoon-worthy store) at Mazza Gallerie in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, October 15 from Noon to 4. The address is 5300 Wisconsin Avenue. For additional information, please ring 202.966.9700.
