Trust us when we say Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition (premiering at 9 p.m. ET this evening on Slice) is one bridal show not to be missed. Hosted by the charming Caroline Rhea, Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition is a competition between three professional Canadian cake designers competing for a $5,000 prize and the glory of winning against fellow designers to create one bridal couple’s dream cake–all within a limited time. Expect gorgeous cakes (perhaps inspiration for your own wedding?), a nerve-wrecking competition amongst designers and a panel of three extraordinary judges to give their input, and, ultimately, decide the winner. Weddingbells had the pleasure of going behind-the-scenes, where we met and spoke to judges: Alexandria Pellegrino (owner of Cake Opera Co. here in Toronto), David MacCarfrae (owner of David Cakes of Distinction in England) and Gordon Bailey (owner of Lot 30 in PEI). Stay tuned for a video with their top tips for finding the perfect wedding cake! In the meantime, here’s a short trailer of Cake Walk: Wedding Cake Edition–enjoy!

Francis Ford Coppola’s daughter’s recent marriage to French rocker Thomas Mars was a lesson in understated elegance. The couple tied the knot this weekend at Palazzo Margherita, the Coppola family’s villa in the southern Italian town of Bernalda. Bernalda’s mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, officiated the ceremony.

Rumours about who would design Sofia’s gown swirled before the ceremony and we were stunned by her unexpected, yet lovely, choice. The bride chose a custom-made sheer lavender gown by Azzedine Alaïa.
The 70 wedding guests dined on traditional southern Italian fare (grilled fish, roast pork, ham and figs, pasta with tomato and basil, salads, courgettes and fresh cheeses) while enjoying wines from the Coppola family’s vineyard. Dinner was followed with a simple low-lying vanilla cake with chantilly cream, decorated with white flowers and prepared by the chef at the Magna Grecia hotel.
