Over the past few months, we've had several good friends tie the knot and we won't lie, we're kind of jealous of their gift registries. The ability to create a kitchen from scratch at a time when ki...
In my last Weekend Meditation, I wrote about the inspiring adventure of making thirty-six pies for the wedding reception for two close friends. Inspiration is one thing, but the practical details a...
I've just finished assembling 36 pies which will be the alternative to a cake for the wedding of some very dear friends. I wasn't alone--we had a crew of 5 and a very efficient bride who organized a ...
Tiered, frilly wedding cakes can be a little daunting for the home baker, but what about cupcakes instead? ...
Here's a good question from Joan, who is planning ahead for her wedding in September. Hi! I am looking for some help and ideas for a seasonal spread of hors d'oeuvres. I am getting married in late Sep...
Andrea at the blog Cooking Books just got married, and she baked her own wedding cake. That alone is a feat (we've watched Faith do the same thing). But Andrea also draped fondant, which is not alw...
Have you peeked at the slideshow of wedding food from New York Times readers? No? It's worth taking a look! The Times put out a call for unique or homemade wedding food from their readers' weddings,...
It's high wedding season. Was there wedding cake on your plate last weekend? Gourmet's contribution to wedding season is a nod to the newly popular tradition of a cookie buffet at a wedding. Have you ...
At weddings in certain parts of the country (mainly the South), the groom gets his own cake—usually a slightly kitschy chocolate one in the shape of something meaningful to him. The one above was fo...
Here's a fun question from Liz! She writes: Where can I buy pre-made gum paste flowers for decorating cupcakes? I am considering baking my own wedding cupcakes, but do not have the skill to frost them...
Sarah is getting married in May, and she and her family are throwing a casual yet elegant afternoon reception with tea and sandwiches. How charming! She has a question, though, about updating tea sand...

You may remember that I made the cakes last summer for my wedding. I was lucky enough to get to bake another wedding cake shortly after my own wedding -- this time for my little brother and his new wi...
Last week I showed you a few photos of my homemade wedding cakes, but neglected to give you the recipes! Here they are - two simple cakes suitable for any occasion, along with their trimmings and ice ...
Wedding cake - the sweetest part of a wedding meal. I knew from the very start that I wanted to bake my own wedding cake. It felt necessary somehow, and not so difficult - especially since we were dis...
I believe that a wedding should be liberal with sweets. Every other day of the year can be restrained, healthy, and good, but after a wedding the guests should leave with a taste of something sweet in...
The title of this post is misleading; my wedding meal last week wasn't exactly home cooked - that is, cooked in my own home kitchen with my own two hands. It was made by a splendidly competent caterin...
I have just one of my many wedding cake layers done, but it was a doozy. It's the biggest layer of what will be a four-tier fudgy-nearly-flourless cake. The layer is huge - 14 inches! I was very, very...

...and a few other things. Can you guess what this pile is for?...
So... by now you know that I have my heart set on making my own cake for my wedding this fall. I'm also determined to make ice cream to go along with it. (Using my new toy!) I'm planning one kind of i...
This has nothing to do with baking my own wedding cake or churning our wedding ice cream (which I am currently psyching myself up to do) but with another small wedding detail that actually could be ap...
Remember how I told you that I am going the crazy route and making my own wedding cakes (and ice cream)? Turns out I'm not alone in this craziness; reader Raquel wrote in with photos and a sweet note ...
I got married a week ago. Instead of the usual fears -commitment, weather, stepkids' sabotage - I spent the weeks leading up to the event wondering if I was capable of cooking a meal for 50 hungry peo...
Last fall we catered a wedding for a friend. It was just a dessert reception, so we served bonbons, cookies, meringues, and ice cream. We served the ice cream in pleated paper soufflé cups, eac...
