We have been busy bees over at the shop these last few months and that means lots of WEDDINGS! Here are a couple lovely weddings that we have had the pleasure of working on! This first wedding at Rancho Las Lomas was for the sweetest couple and I loved that they sent photos back to me so I could see them enjoying the desserts!





We made the custom cake stand and backdrop for the couple. They wanted to incorporate a rustic and earthy touch to the table, but still wanted it to look elegant. They decided to do a two tier cake and then cupcakes, so guests could choose which one they wanted.




How gorgeous is the bride?!?

And you have to love these photos of the groomsmen…boys will be boys!



This next wedding I had the pleasure of working with Carissa from JL Designs & Christina from Simply Modern Weddings. We ended up doing a small cake that pulled in design from their invitation and then a variety of mini desserts. Christina & Carissa definitely pulled off a gorgeous wedding with lovely details!



The flowers that Carissa & her assistant Darcy did were so romantic!

Loved all of Christina’s cute signs she added to the table.



Here is a rare shot of us ladies after we set up and a couple fun photos of the sweet husbands who came along to help!



So blessed to work with you ladies! Here is one more fun wedding cake I was able to do recently for a sweet couple. They wanted to incorporate color onto the cake, so we did a butter yellow base with dark grey lace accents and a purple sugar flower accent.




I recently had the pleasure of working with my friends Ashlyn & Heather from Carter & Cook Event Co. on a photoshoot for Exquisite Wedddings Magazine. They are an amazing design team and I knew the photoshoot would turn out gorgeous. You can check out their blog to read about all the details of the shoot, but here are some photos!









And here are a couple more details shots of the cake I took at the bakery.
