I’m headed to Memphis this afternoon for the wedding of a college friend — actually, both the bride and groom went to Northwestern, so it will be a very (NU) wildcat wedding, I’m sure. This is the first Jewish wedding I’ve gone to, which I’m excited about — I love learning about other wedding traditions firsthand. Abby and I are also bunking together for the weekend. Guaranteed good times!
Today’s post is, appropriately, on the topic of wedding cake. The latest Martha Stewart Weddings magazine featured some gorgeous ones! If I had preferred or budgeted for a fondant-covered cake, I would have definitely wanted something like these cakes with simple stitching patterns on them. How beautiful are these?
As pretty as the cover cakes are, the ones inside, covered in white fondant with the stitching detail in color, are my favorites. I like the front three-tier cake best:

I’ll report back on this weekend’s wedding cake — it’s always one of my favorite parts of these shindigs. Have a great weekend, y’all!

Hope the weekend is divine-can’t wait for a full report on the cake!
