So I just checked out Style Me Pretty’s new (at least it’s new to me) Style Circle. I must say it’s a fantastic resource for brides! I think the most impressive and user-friendly feature is their Create your Own Inspiration Board section. You must check it out!

Revisting the Red Rose Damask Cake

Anne — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:26:14 +0000

So I was browsing through the interweb and came across this blog with some really cool photos of our red rose damask wedding cake from Threshold Visions.

I immediately contacted the photographer Christopher Duggan and asked if he could send us some photos to use on our blog. That same day he hand delivered a CD to our shop in Denville, NJ. Talk about service! Now that is a photographer I would hire

Enjoy the photos!

More photos are available on the Threshold Vision’s Blog.

Wedding Cakes to Inspire

Anne — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 11:45:49 +0000

Over the years, we’ve seen our wedding cakes used in a variety of wedding inspiration boards. These boards offer a great way to help coordinate the details of your wedding including colors and theme.

To help inspire other couples, we’ve included a new section on Pink Cake Box that allows brides-to-be the ability to quickly thumb through our hundreds of wedding cakes to find the perfect cake for their own inspiration boards.

Give our wedding cake inspiration board a try and send us along any inspiration boards and we’ll post them in our gallery. Thanks!

Ever wonder where we taped and created our most recent Food Network Cake Challenge cake? Or ever wonder if we’ve ever delivered a cake to Atlantic City? (Yes and it was a cake disguised as Tom Jones).

Through the magical technology of google maps, we can now plot exactly where our cakes were delivered and enjoyed. Take a spin here:
