Peggy Porschen Wedding Cakes
The cake is usually not my favorite part of a wedding. Yeah, the pictures of the couple cutting the cake are nice, but I think cake’s just cake. I mean, is there really any such thing as a bad cake? Today I saw this gorgeous cake collection on DC Nearlyweds. Miss Capitol Hill writes about Peggy…
