the sexiest cake on earth

You may already know that I have a cake fetish. I f’ing love cake. Whatevs, get over it.
So I planned my sister’s 40th surprise b-day party a few weeks ago in Vegas and of course I spent copious amounts of time a) searching for the best bakery in the Las Vegas/ Henderson area, and b) designing the cake & color palette with the baker, amongst other things like choosing the flowers, picking the menu, making the invites, coordinating the surprise with everyone etc etc… But back to cake. I fell deeply head-over-heels with this pink ribbon cake I saw on The Wedding Chicks from marthastewart.com

Right?? It’s just straight pretty. So we copied it.

We had 2 cakes & cupcakes. The pink ribbon one was the strawberries & cream. The other was caramel choc-chip and whatever ever other heavenly stuff they put in there, and the cupcakes where chocolate. Everything made from scratch- the butter cream, caramel etc, This bakery was by far the best quality and most outstanding service and attention to detail in Nevada! I HIGHLY recommend them. Please visit Layers Bakery, and if you don’t need a cake, at the very least go in there and try some of their pastries with your morning coffee… truly divine! All fresh home-made ingredients, and none of the foofy over-animated gaudy-looking stuff. Old-school deliciousness; exactly what I was looking for! Ok, now for the cake porn….

(oh and btw, can you tell how much I love Peonies?) The rest of the flowers are Ranunculus, Wax Flower and Stock.

We did nearly everything ourselves for the wedding, including making all the food, the flower arrangements, and our bouquets. Our one big splurge was the cake. We made sure it was both gorgeous and delicious (Mexican Hot Chocolate - bittersweet chocolate cake with cinnamon marscapone filling) and our cake woman absolutely came through on both fronts. I loved the cake testing process and immediately told all my friends to pretend they were getting married so they could experience the wonder. Unfortunately, I've found that in most weddings it's seen as sort of a side thing. A requirement but not something anyone really cares about. And I've been to so many of those cookie cutter prom weddings at banquet halls with inedible cake. Who knew cake could be inedible. It just makes me so very sad. ;) Anyway, I also love the idea of splurging on fabulous cakes for other occasions so this whole entry made me smile. And what a luscious looking cake.
