I&rsquo;m looking forward to really checking out the town, eating my dad&rsquo;s favorite local foods (the popcorn from the street vendors and the deliciously fried &ldquo;village chicken&rdquo;) and logging some serious hammock time. My family is all about hammocks, and I love them for it.&nbsp;<\/p> <p mce_keep=\"true\">Today&rsquo;s blog post is from Blair, showing off some sublimely simple wedding cakes. I think I&rsquo;m in love with the pink and red one in the top row. I&rsquo;m such a big push over for pink and red together, <a href=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/blogs\/what_junebug_loves\/archive\/2007\/08\/13\/A-Love-Letter-to-Pink-and-Red.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" mce_href=\"\/blogs\/what_junebug_loves\/archive\/2007\/08\/13\/A-Love-Letter-to-Pink-and-Red.aspx\">this inspiration board<\/a> is my desktop wallpaper!<br><\/p> <p><img title=\"simple wedding cakes with flower decorations\" alt=\"simple wedding cakes with flower decorations\" src=\"\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/september2008\/Flower_cakes_2.jpg\" border=\"0\" mce_src=\"http:\/\/junebugweddings.com\/img\/whatjunebugloves\/september2008\/Flower_cakes_2.jpg\"><\/p> <p mce_keep=\"true\"><em>When it comes to wedding cakes, simple shapes with floral accents are all the rage. Whether the flowers are freshly picked, made of sugar, or painted&nbsp;right onto smooth icing, we&rsquo;re seeing more and more delicious and beautiful cakes made to match a bride&rsquo;s wedding flowers and the floral decor of&nbsp;her reception.&nbsp;Above are some of my favorite simple and elegant cakes. Each one has silky fondant icing with little or no piping and a creative floral accent to die for. I&nbsp;especially love&nbsp;the cake pictured in the middle of the top row with the huge red&nbsp;frosting camelia on top, and the one in the middle of the third row with red and pink peonies airbrushed on it. They&rsquo;re classically beautiful but decidely&nbsp;modern at the same time. Faboo!
