The recipe for this amazing golden coconut-raspberry cake is pretty interesting and one I am challenging myself to make – just because. Although it is a wonderful variation for those planning a wedding or a bridal shower: RECIPE Vanilla coconut batter 200g grated coconut 100g coconut flour (you can also substitute it with rice flour) 125g rice flour (white rice flour, if available) 160g butter 200g sugar 6 eggs (size L) 4 tsp organic baking powder 1 tsp ground vanilla (or you can use some vanilla extract) 1 pinch of salt 240ml milk Raspberry Cream Filling 200g raspberry-(vanilla-)jam 400g heavy cream 4 tsp sugar Buttercream Icing 300g butter, soft 500g icing sugar 2 tbsp rose water Edible Decoration edible gold dust (also you need a compatible brush for the gold dust) edible gold leaf (we took 4 pieces) Additional Decoration flowers (roses, eycalyptus, thistels…depending on personal favorites and season) sparklers {For full recipe go here}

Weddings: Fall Cake Ideas

I love cake. Not necessarily to eat, but rather to simply admire the decor. 🙂 Weird? Maybe. But since five I’ve always stopped and stared through the window of a bakery at the cakes on display – admiring the creative artist behind them all. I even walked a television series about cakes. So…this site has 16 beautifully Fall cake decorating ideas to consider – should you be tying the knot. Check out some of my favorites:  

Wedding Cakes After A Taste Test

I went along with someone dear to me for a wedding cake taste test, mostly because her wedding is a destination wedding and I wanted to get away for the weekend, and eat cake. I’ve never been to one of these things, and so the experience was fun-discussing cake and eating them. Minus of course the sugar rush right after. I was wondering why the cake designer poured us each a tall glass of water just as we sat down around the table. Anyway, he wanted the bride to be to express her style so he could design the perfect cake for her October wedding. And so here we are searching for unique cakes, some of which I have included below, knowing in a week or two this will all change. (I say that with a smile) {source}
