The Rise of the French Macaron
Yesterday The Toronto Star published a great article on Toronto’s trendiest cookie in town–the French macaron. Indeed it has been trendy, but not for many Parisians as it is their quintessential French sweet. If you ever head to Paris, I’m…

DIY: Sweet Series Part 4 of 5
For those of you who don’t know the proper term, these bite-size cakes are actually called Petits Fours–in French it’s translated into small or little oven. Like any dessert, these goods are meant to be eaten at the end of…
Sweet Week
As I write you this blog, I kid you not, I am most likely surrounded by dozens and dozens of cakes. Yes, it’s our major week for cakes and flowers (I’m hoping to have some ‘behind-the-scenes’ images to share with…
Ooh Cabaret…
To me, finding inspiring ideas to share with you ladies is one of the best parts of my job. I really love stepping outside of the box and looking at “non-bridal” ideas and incorporating them into your wedding day, which…
Let Her Eat Cake
Whoa mama! This is by far the insanest wedding-cake-turned-wedding-dress creation that I have seen. Created by Lukka Sigurdardottir, the pro has somehow managed to fit a gazillion of layers into the cake. Not that I’d recommend any bride to do…
Queen of Cakes
This afternoon I’m excited to say that I have an appointment with Bonnie Gordon at the Bonnie Gordon School of Cakes. For those of you unfamiliar, Bonnie is literally, well for me anyways, the “queen of cakes”. Her work (as…
Just for Fun: If Super Mario Had a Wedding…
We’re a bit obsessed with Super Mario right now, or shall I say we’re a “Wii” crazy. Jenn’s been playing non-stop ever since she bought a console over the holidays, Alison has been trying to beat the new Super Mario…
Colour Your World
Today, I decided to have a bit of a blog-a-thon. There’s so much to be said and, since I have a few minutes to spare, I thought it wise to post as many possible ideas as I could today to…
Classy Confections
Can you tell? I’ve been on a bit of a cake frenzy lately! These wedding cakes from Maples Wedding Cakes are both classy and hot. Here are 14 of my fave from their site. Which one would you have at…
Who’s the Boss?
Do any of you watch the Cake Boss? I’ve only seen a few episodes here and there, but this week, thanks to the cold weather, I’ve been camping out in front of my television set and have been addicted to…
Cake like Whoa…
Have any of you picked up the latest issue of People with Kevin Jonas and Danielle Deleasa’s wedding? Er, yes I’ve been a closet fan of the Jonas Brothers, but we won’t reflect on that. Anywho, back to their wedding,…
I’m Craving These Sweets
Okay, not gonna lie, my New Year’s resolution for sticking to “healthy snacks” is slowly diminishing after seeing all these delicious desserts from my current obsession–Sweet & Saucy shop. There’s really not much to say about these cakes, except–WOW! I’ll…
Reception Ideas
Right now we are in the midst of planning for our next two issues (Fall + Winter 2010 and Spring + Summer 2011)–yes, I did just say 2011! Crazy huh? Upon researching for inspiring ideas, one vendor that caught my…
At the Top
My latest obsession of the week, aside from cupcakes, is cake toppers! I was on Orange Girl Photographs blog and saw this post (she has an affinity for Etsy too!) that she did on cute cake toppers. I thought I’d…
Mmm… Butter.
I don’t care what they say about butter, it’s darn good and way better than margarine and apparently healthier (or so they say!). Check out these amazingly, delicious goodies from Butter Baked Goods. I’m salivating just looking at them. Could…
Cake Flavour Testing
Yesterday, our staff at Weddingbells received a nice surprise–delicious cakes. Of course, I was in on the surprise with Kristin from Cake or Death, who approached me a few weeks back about dropping off some cake samples at our office.…
Online Wedding Proposal
Working at Weddingbells has given me the opportunity to be privy to a lot of interesting and creative engagement proposals that make you go “aww!”. But yesterday, I got wind of this online proposal that really takes the cake. No…
Dessert? Yes, Please!
As any smart bride knows, there are lots of traditions associated with weddings. One of those traditions is the wedding cake. Do you have a big, beautiful cake, or do you just offer guests a sweet after their meal? These…
Mmm, dessert!
Right now, I’m sad to say, I am on a sugar restriction. Can’t eat anything sweet for the next few days–darn you throat infection! So, I’ve settled for second best, if I can’t eat the yummy items, the least I…
Colour Combo: Turquoise & Red
Turquoise alone and red alone are great shades. But, fused together? These two definitely make for a dynamic duo. There’s just something about turquoise and red that’s makes everything look fun and whimsical. I actually found my inspiration from Telliegrams’…
