Weddings & Bridal Showers

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Well, I am trying to stick to my promise and keep the blogging to an all-time high this week, since I haven’t been blogging too much lately. This post is all about LOVE…I have been meeting with lots of brides lately and recently we did some fun bridal showers and a wedding cake with mini desserts too. These first photos are of the wedding…the bride wanted to incorporate lots of color, her love of butterflies, and their gorgeous monogram that they featured on their invitations. This is the design we came up with!

The bride and groom also wanted to treat their guests to an assortment of mini desserts and wanted them all plated on one delicious table spread. The mini desserts included banana cream pies, coconut cream pies, pumpkin caramel gingersnap cheesecakes, carrot cake and red velvet cake lollipops, and lavender lemon bars.

These last photos are from the two bridal showers. The first shower had the color scheme of yellow, teal, and white. They ordered a variety of cupcakes and 75 bride and groom silhouette cookies…sadly I didn’t take any pictures of the cookies, but you can check out my previous post on them here.

This final cake was made to match the shower invitations, which had a cute, modern look to it. The cake was chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and espresso, kahlua cream cheese frosting.

Thanks for taking a look at them!

Eye Candy

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Well, it has been quite a while since I have blogged! Life has been very busy and full of lots of fun! These photos are from some recent orders I did and I thought I would share them with you!

These first photos are of a recent bridal shower cake my sister and I made for my new sister-in-law to be! We knew we wanted to make a new type of sugar flower so my sister created this gorgeous pink garden rose. It was so beautiful that I thought it should be the main focus of the cake and went with a more simplistic look overall.

The inside of the cake was chocolate cake with layers espresso kahlua cream cheese frosting, chocolate ganache, and chocolate valrhona crunchies. I then covered the whole cake with vanilla buttercream and a thin layer of fondant.

This next order was for 75 corporate baskets of goodies. This order basically consumed my life for 3 days straight…300 cookies, 300 brownies, and 75 bags of caramel nut crunch mix! I was quite happy with how they turned out though and it was fun knowing they would be shipped all over the US!

This next cookie I made for a friend of mine, Jesi Haack, who is a fabulous wedding and event planner. She wanted custom logo cookies to pass out to her clients and vendors and so I came to the rescue!

Lastly, I made a kid’s birthday cake the other week. Elmo was the main star of the cake and it ended up a fun theme overall. The cake was chocolate and buttermilk cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

Well, I hope you all had a Happy Easter last weekend! Thanks for all the love and support!

Sugar Flowers & Bridal Showers

Friday, March 27th, 2009

Well, as you know my sister and I are trying to learn how to make all sorts of sugar flowers. We have become quite obsessed with them and my credit card bill definitely proves it! I have only actually taken one class from Ron Ben-Israel on how to make sweet pea sugar flowers and the rest we have learned through books and watching videos from Nicholas Lodge. Sugar flowers are very tedious and require a lot of patience (and tools), but they are also one of the more artistic aspects of cake decorating. The cake was buttermilk cake with white chocolate mousse buttercream and fresh strawberries…yummy! We made it for a recent bridal shower and were very excited to put our sugar flower knowledge to the test and create a gorgeous cake for the bride-to-be!
