Vintage Inspired Wedding Cake!!!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Well, I am finally feeling like life is getting back to some sort of pattern and I am really enjoying it!  Today I am actually at my in-laws beach house in Newport Beach and then off to lunch and shopping with my girlfriend Kate!  But before I left for my day of fun I thought I would post these gorgeous photos from a recent wedding that I had the pleasure of doing.  Courtney Toney of Joyful Weddings & Events completely blew me away with the look of this wedding.  She worked hand in hand with the bride and groom who were very involved with the planning of their wedding day since their reception was actually in their backyard.  I loved my wedding day too, but if I were able to go back in time I think I wish this was the style of my wedding…intimate, detailed inspired, and a touch of vintage…love, love, love it!  The bride and groom were so much fun to work with and really let me try out some new ideas with the design of their cake!  Lastly, I have to say that Amy Squires did an amazing job with the photography!  I was able to work with able on my first real wedding back in the day and it was so much fun seeing her work her magic again with this wedding!

For the dessert station Courtney found the most adorable vintage cart!  For the cake design the bride wanted to incorporate sugar lace, pearls, and lots of vintage details!  We accented the cake with a fabulous sugar magnolia flower too!  To add to the details the bride wanted to do some mini desserts as well, so we had cake lollipops, mini red velvet cupcakes, and mini cheesecakes with raspberries.

I also took a couple detail shots of the desserts and cake so I could share them with you!  They are not as good as Amy’s, but hopefully they will do!

The Pyke’s Wedding!!!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

First off I do have to say sorry to my loyal visitors for my temporary absence this past week…BUT get ready for a lot of posts this week!!!  I had my busiest week ever for my little company, Sweet & Saucy, and literally worked 16 hour days every day and ended off the week with a 20 hour work day two days before one of my best friend’s weddings (If you do the math…yes, I only got 4 hours of sleep!). All of that being said I had an amazing time at their wedding and had the privilege of making their cake and cookies and even being a bridesmaid.  I wouldn’t necessarily recommend trying to do both, but in the end it was all worth it! Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding.  For those of you who don’t know, I got the silhouette cookie cutters custom made to fit their profile from The Victor Trading Company.  This company did an amazing job with the cutters and the end result was more than I could have asked for.  The wedding theme was “Silhouettes” and my friend Karrie (the bride), who is a graphic designer too, made the theme carry through the whole wedding seamlessly…she even had the lady from Disneyland who cuts silhouettes come and cut the each guest’s silhouette!  Their wedding photographer, Amy Squires, from WeddingChicks.com was absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend her to any new bride looking for a fantastic photographer.  I was also lucky enough to have a couple shots she took of my desserts and of the gorgeous bride and groom.  Now I know most bloggers don’t like showing personal photos on their site, but I just can’t help sharing my joy with you all, so I hope you enjoy these photos!

The cake was two different flavors: chocolate cake with chocolate mousse buttercream and strawberries AND coconut cake with lemon cream filling and coconut cream cheese frosting!  The middle tier is so tall because it is two normal size cakes stacked on top of each other with supports in between.  Lastly, I covered the whole cake in swiss meringue buttercream and piped tiny white dots onto it.  I lined each layer with gray ribbon and her wonderful florist added the flowers.
