Wedding Wednesday: Chic Wedding Cakes From Coast To Coast

I live for good wedding cake. Besides the dancing , the cake is my favorite part of any reception. You can imagine my dismay when "Miss Shop This" announced that she doesn't want to serve cake at her wedding! We shall see about that. In the meantime, here's where you can find some of the prettiest cakes in America.
