Happy New Year!  We are going to be celebrating all month long by sharing some of our favorites from the year.  To kick us off, it’s cake time!  (Can you tell I’m 8 months pregnant?!  :P)

The award for the most delicious cake of the year…heck, the DECADE, goes to Iliana and Freddy’s cake from The Market in Denver.  It’s a good thing we don’t live in Denver, because if we did, I’d NEVER lose this baby weight.

The award for the cake so pretty I cried a little when they cut into it goes to Jay and Ashley’s Martha Stewart inspired cake from Amy Bruntz (Amy’s Unique Cakes – 720-882-6546).

My favorite cake topper of the year belongs to Jaime and Aaron.  (Okay, this is a bit of a cheat…because it was MY cake topper, too!)  This cake topper blessed the cake of the happiest couple in all the world–my Nana and Poppa.  They married in 1946, when wedding luxuries were still in short supply.  My Nana had to bring her own sugar to her cake baker, and she told me that she had actually been very disappointed in her cake topper.  It’s “out of fashion” bride and groom from the 1930s was not what she had in mind.  But 60 years later we’re all a bit partial to it!  (I can’t find my picture of my Nana and Poppa on their wedding day–which means we’re missing out on a seriously cool “three generations of cake toppers” storyboard.)

The award for the best cake smashing moment goes to Carrie and Kevin.  (this will probably show up again in our “2009 outtakes” file–it’s just too good.)  The woman’s expression is PRICELESS!

The award for the most Ace of Cakes-iest cake goes to Kina and Wes’s C-17 groom’s cake from Boonzaaijer’s Dutch Bakery!

And last but not least, I think my favorite cake photo of the year is of Amanda and Steven’s cake from Stonebrook Manor.
