Cake, flowers, and monograms.

A few random musings are what I have for you today… first off: my birthday is on Thursday and I have one thing on my mind. Funfetti Cake. Somehow my grocery store was sold out of the mix (didn’t they know it was my birthday?) so I’ve been looking up a few homemade recipes (here and here).

This weekend we also tackled some wedding planning tasks — I got to work pulling together inspiration images for our florist (who happens to be one of my fabulous bridesmaids!). I’m so excited to see all of these ideas come together, I’m thinking beautiful giant peonies, some pretty little billy buttons, and pops of bright pink blooms.

And it will come as surprise to no one, that as we worked on our wedding registry this weekend there were plenty of monogrammed goods added to the list. I’m certain I would have registered for a monogrammed vacuum, had that been an option.

Cakes.

I think I’m just going to start a new blog or tumblr that features amazing cake pictures. I could look at them all day long! My obsession today is this six-layer  chocolate malted & toasted-marshmallow cake, it looks heavenly. Visit Sweetapolita for the recipe and to look at the gazillion other delicious pictures – I have definitely found a new favorite baking blog. 

Another cake moment this morning was spotted on You Are My Fave, where mini cakes were used in lieu of floral centerpieces for a party tablescape. Man I’m hungry!

Blackberry.

Black raspberry, blackberry, really berry anything is my favorite — I love the  flavors but think I’m also drawn to the delicious looking colors too. This blackberry buttercream frosting recipe is definitely getting stored away for a special occasion — it’s mouthwatering just looking at it.

Cheese cake.

I jokingly (kind of) told friends last week that if I ever get married I want my wedding cake to be made out of blue cheese — cheese, in general, is absolutely my favorite food group in the universe.

Then I saw this wedding cake and realized there are other girls just like me that prefer the savory to sweet. Stacked wheels of cheese? That’s my kind of cake. Mmm, I could really go for a slice of brie-cake right about now…

A piece of cake.

If anyone out there is listening… my birthday is just two months away… please make note that I would like my birthday cake to look a little something like this:

Holy modern design covered in chocolate. It looks like a Barcelona day bed, but no my friends, it’s something much better… it’s a cake!
