Real Party: Chocolate Brown & Green Wedding
January 21st, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 4 Comments

Today’s real party is a simply elegant wedding, shared with us by the amazing photographer Tanja Lippert.  We’ve featured Tanja’s work before and what can I say other than her images are breathtaking.  This wedding included so many quaint little details…it’s enough to make a girl giddy!  From the chocolate brown and green color scheme to the delightful birds and fern fronds, this wedding is truly a wooded wonderland. Brown and Green Wedding

I absolutely love this cake!  The green fondant creates a stage for the branches and sweet little birds.  Using a tree trunk for the cake stand provides both style and function.  This design was originally created by Rebecca Thuss as an all white, wintry cake (we featured Rebecca’s version here).  Adding the green transforms this design, making it perfect for a spring event.

What’s not to love about this wedding?  The bride, the flowers, the cake…. the branches, birds and ferns.  Everything was just stunning!  A very special thank you to Emily and Patrick for sharing their special day with us and to Tanja Lippert for sharing her amazing images.  See more of Tanja’s incredible work on her website and blog.

Real Wedding: Sweet Treats Galore (Part III)
January 6th, 2010 by Carrie Sellman | 6 Comments

Before we go for the day, I just couldn’t resist one last look at cakelava’s impressive creation.  He’s green, he’s adorable, he’s holding a giant pink cupcake and he’s ready for his close up.  Even though it’s hard to believe, Mr. Turtle is a cake!

Tomorrow, we continue the cupcake theme with an exciting cupcake giveaway!  And on Monday, we’ll announce some thrilling news regarding cakelava.  See you then!

Eat Cake Be Merry
December 10th, 2009 by Carrie Sellman | 9 Comments

What a perfect name for a perfect little bake shop.  Today we’re featuring the work of Eat Cake Be Merry, a hot new specialty cake shop in the New York area.  When owner and designer, Liz Shim, sent over images of her work, I was instantly a fan.  I love her combination of modern and clean design with a touch of whimsy.  These cakes will definitely make you merry!  Let’s take a look…

I just love the chocolate brown and green monogram design.  This cake is so striking with it’s bold color combination and geometric pattern.  A simple yet polished monogram is the perfect finishing touch.  Just Lovely!  Here’s a few more of my favorites… I’m always a sucker for polka dot cakes!

Liz is obviously a talented lady and has perfected her craft while learning from some of the very best cake designers around (she’s worked with both Confetti Cakes and LovinSullivanCakes in the past).  Her attention to detail and playful sense of style will make her a cake designer to watch.  I have a feeling we’ll be featuring her work on Half Baked again in the future!  You can check out more of her stunning designs on the Eat Cake Be Merry website and blog.  Congratulations Liz and best wishes on your new venture.

Just a reminder, today is your last chance to enter the Crate & Barrel Giveaway.  Our winner of the $100 gift card will be announced tomorrow!
