Crew’s Ombre Surf 1st Birthday Party

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

To start off the New Year right I thought I would blog one of my favorite kid’s parties yet! My sweet friend and photographer Ashley Rose’s little boy, Crew, turned 1 this year and I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing party! Ashley is a super mom and basically did all of the design, decorating, projects, etc for the whole day!

Some of my best girlfriends Elizabeth and Karrie from Posh Paperie created the fabulous invitations and the Wedding Chicks made these adorable printed bags!

For Crew’s birthday desserts we went with the ombre blue color scheme and added some surf themed touches to the desserts.

I love this new ombre buttercream technique that we have been doing at the shop and thought it would be perfect for Crew’s cake…it’s modern, clean, and bold. We added a fondant surfboard and some gold fish to the bottom of the cake and voila! Ashley also rented this fab table from Found Vintage Rentals!

We created some ombre blue cake lollipops and added mini shark fins to the tops of them. For the bottom of the dish I thought it would be fun put the gold fish again.

We then did some mini cupcakes, vanilla panna cotta shot glasses tinted blue, and chocolate dipped ombre rice crispy treats!

sTORIbook Weddings Episode Tonight: A Marie Antoinette Wedding

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

A couple months back we had the pleasure of doing two of the weddings for Tori & Dean’s new show sTORIbook Weddings and we are excited to announce that the final wedding we worked on with them is airing for the first time TONIGHT December 27th at 10/9c on the Oxygen Network. I have to say that this is my favorite wedding yet that we got to be a part of and we made a TON of desserts and cakes for it! The theme was Marie Antoinette and we pulled out all the stops for it. I even had a fun time filming a private cake tasting at Tori & Dean’s house for the bride and groom, which will be on the show tonight too.

We created a 5 tier dusty blue cake with lots of gold accents that was set on a table all by itself…

Heavenly Blooms created the over-the-top gorgeous flowers for the big wedding day!

Like I said, we pulled out all the stops for the grand mini dessert table that had multiple single tier decorated cakes as well.

The Vibiana was the perfect location for this over the top gorgeous wedding and provided such a lovely backdrop for our table.

I loved the color scheme for this wedding and it was so fun to incorporate it into our desserts…the blue and gold worked perfectly for this french macaron tower.

Tori & Dean did a fabulous job of decorating the whole venue! I loved the table set up and details…

Can you say over the top luxury!

Thanks so much for checking out our desserts and we hope that you tune in tonight to see the full episode!

A Gorgeous Rustic, Elegant Wedding at The Villa!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

I am just in love with this next wedding that I got to be a part of! The couple are good friends of Carissa, from JL Designs, who did all the floral design and clearly you can tell that they are have fabulous taste! They wanted their wedding design to be early southern california history mixed with some masculine texan details. I love the rich color scheme and the rustic touches here and there. The talented Ashley Rose photographed the whole wedding and I love think the photos are dreamy! The Villa at San Juan Capistrano was the fantastic venue it was held at.

They had a special family recipe they wanted us to recreate which was a fun addition to the mini dessert bar.

For the cake we wanted to do something clean and modern, but also look rich and elegant. We stuck with the white and gold color scheme and I decided to paint fondant braids gold and use them to wrap around the cake tiers. Then we did a white ruffle sugar flower with a large gold center.

Scout’s 1st Birthday Party

Friday, December 9th, 2011

One thing I love about being in the wedding industry is all the amazing vendors I get to meet and sometimes even share in their families special day as well! These gorgeous photos were taken by the amazing photographer Chenin, from Boutwell Studios! Chenin put on this fabulous rainbow birthday party for her little girl Scout’s 1st birthday! We were lucky enough to be able to do the two cakes for her, but all the rest was Chenin’s magic

New Wedding Cake Designs

Friday, November 4th, 2011

I thought I would share some new cake designs we’ve done lately! Up first one of my favorites from this last summer. A peacock feather bohemian style head piece inspired the cake design. We made the cake head piece all out of sugar and then did a white on white pattern for the base of the cake to give it some texture.

I just love the color palette for this cake.

Up next an example of a romantic wedding cake with touches of blush pink and white sugar roses cascading up the front.

This cake is definitely more modern with a bold color and pattern on the base tier and then a sugar peony we colored silver.

This is one of my favorite all white on white wedding cakes…it’s so delicate and romantic looking!

This next cake was inspired by a cake design from The Caketress that one of my clients loved and then we put our own spin on it to incorporate her wedding style and design.

Last but not least a sampling of cakes to mimic the iconic “Cakes” painting by Wayne Thiebaud. Irene did a great job with all of these cakes and the client loved them!
