Krispy Kreme Birthday

My favorite Birmingham Boy went home this weekend for one reason -- a birthday party with a Kripsy Kreme cake. This is the only reason to fly, as well as being a litmus test for what part of the country a person's from. I've been pondering a Krispy Kreme wedding cake for myself, should I ever take the plunge...

Nina Torres of Cakes Plus in Tampa created this Krispy Kreme Doughnuts cake, a pyramid adorned with ribbons and flowers.

Even Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is getting into the wedding cake act. A trickle of a trend began last year with word spreading that doughnuts could be fashioned into a cake by making a pyramid and then adorning it with ribbons and flowers.
