I love all of these green wedding cakes (of course the top right is my favorite but that is just because there is hydrangea everywhere).

Off to find a cookie.  Now starving.

Too bad she’s in Singapore, I would gobble these up in a second! Cupcake Momma has some incredible talent. She frequently uploads on Flickr so check her out.

I’m totally infatuated with the adorable custom cookies made by Casue Sweets.  How fun and personal would it be to have your dress turned into a cookie for your favors?  Or, if you know your color scheme, make a bridesmaid’s dress cookie to send with your “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” cards.

I just love these pictures I have found for displaying food elegantly.  Some aren’t quite what I’m envisioning, but others are really close to what I see as being the perfect food and/or drink displays.

I particularly enjoy the top left of this set:

Sorry the post is so late! It’s been a crazy day today.

Search for blue cakes, and you have a plethora of choices. Search for blue foods? Not so much! You’re left with potatoes, blueberries, blue corn chips and bleu cheese. Not a great selection. But! We’ve found some fantastic choices for cakes and a few extras.

First up, my favorite (from The Knot).

I may have cheated by including a slightly purple combo, but I love the design! So simple and fresh.

Other great cakes include:

My favorite thing about this color week’s choice?  The food!  Seriously, it’s almost *too* easy to carry this theme through by using your food as decor.  Sounds crazy but it works.  Here’s proof!

I just adore the fantastically adorable ice cream shapes made by St. Clair Ice Cream.   They are just perfect to serve as a light dessert, or as a palette cleanser.

You can choose from fruits:

I previously posted on cupcakes in Atlanta - so this one’s for you, Chicago.  Sarah’s Candies not only has cupcakes but fantastic lemon bars, yummy turtles, great fruit tarts, and amazing cookies.  They do an amazing job packaging their goodies for favors as well. 

AND - they do wedding cakes!

If you live in Chicago and haven’t been to Sarah’s - GO!  They have moved from Rush Street to Oak Street, near Ultimate Bride.  Try on dresses, then eat cupcakes!

I found Michelle Doll Cakes today and thought I would pass it on. I’m loving this black and white creation.

And these are some of my other favorites…

A flurry of little posts tonight everyone!  I *have* to post about these cupcakes, which would make perfect wedding favors for our Atlanta to-be-weds!  Jamie Fahey and her partner have opened the Atlanta Cupcake Factory and I am in love!

Cupcakes have been all the rage since Sex and the City popularized Magnolia Bakery in NYC and now Atlanta has their own cupcake institution.  Their menu includes flavors such as Chocolate Bailey’s, pumpkin pie, and banana ganache.  If these pictures don’t make you hungry I don’t know what will!
