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!

For the dessert bar we wanted it to be homestyle, but still have a touch of elegance so we went with all cut glass clear stands and even added in some fun domes too!

Lots of fun photo shoots!

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Most of the wedding industry knows that I am pretty addicted to doing photos shoot! I just love being able to have full control of coming up with a new cake or dessert design and the whole process is really a lot of fun for me since I get to try out new techniques and push the design boundaries

This first shoot was such a fun one we did for Styled Magazine, which is a new online magazine that my talented friend Vicky started. She had a great idea of having one inspirational image and sending it to a bunch of different wedding vendors and seeing what they’d come up with.

Screen shot 2011-03-29 at 1.10.41 PM

I loved this inspiration photo below and immediately wanted to do an out-of-the-box design for this mini cake.

Screen shot 2011-03-29 at 1.01.50 PM

We made white pom pom sugar flowers and then for the cake I thought it would be fun to do the top half of the cake black and the bottom white…I love the bold contrast and once we threw the sprinkles on the cake it just completed it perfectly!

Of course we have to add some cute french macarons to the shoot and we even sprinkled them with the colorful sprinkles too…

This next shoot was for another online wedding magazine called NonPareil. I was so excited to be featured in it as well and for this shoot we took a more modern, clean, preppy approach to the design. I got to work with Vicky, from City Cradle Design, again, The Floral Lab, who did the beautiful flowers, and the talented Jackie Wonders snapped the gorgeous photos!

We created two flavors of french macarons for the shoot, a large cake, and accented the table with some fun bright candy!

I love the look of grey, yellow and white together and I thought the bold pops of color and pattern on the cake turned out nicely.

Lastly I had the pleasure of working with a fabulous team on this next shoot. I love the combo of green and white together and this shoot shows why! Kathy & Susan from Bella Weddings & Events did the planning & design, Carissa, from JL Designs, did the stunning florals, and Leila, from Be Inspired PR, produced the whole shoot! You can check out the rest of the amazing team down below! Also big thanks to Barnaby Draper Studios for the great photos!

The whole shoot was at the Vibiana in LA ad I have to say it is one of the most breathtaking venues in California!

For the wedding cake we wanted to keep it all white on white, but add plenty of gorgeous texture to it, so we made sugar patterns and lace to accent the tiers and piped on small white dots to accent it.

We also did some bright green apples dipped in white chocolate…love the color contrast!

Miley Cyrus’ 18th Birthday Party

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Well as most of you know Miley Cyrus did an amazing job at the AMA’s last night and then went off to a huge 18th Birthday Celebration at Le Trousdale in West Hollywood! We were beyond excited to be able to do the dessert spread and birthday cake for her!!!

We were told that she loves dream catchers and the bohemian style, so we focused the whole dessert table around that. We did a tier birthday cake with hand carved dream catchers, sugar feathers, and sugar turquoise beads. I wanted to stick with the color scheme of brown, gold, white, and turquoise and I loved the final outcome. Not only did we do a giant cake, but we also did a custom dessert bar with over 500 desserts! It was quite a spread! I have to thank my dear friend and the fabulously talented Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings, for the perfect backdrop she created for me! She hand made all of the golden dream catchers and made the backdrop with ivory burlap and lace…I LOVED it!!! Of course my wonderful girls, Elizabeth and Karrie, from Posh Paperie created the dessert cards that fit flawlessly with the whole look!

Well enough talking…here are the photos that are already all over the internet!

And here are a TON of photos that we took!

Kyong hand painting on the sugar cookies to give a realistic look to them.

Thanks to Carlie from Gabrial Ryan Photography for helping with the back drop and shooting some photos for me…I tried taking some, but of course hers always turn out better (like the one above)!

We wanted to incorporate golden sugar feathers, braiding, beading, and turquoise beading!

Don’t you just love Jesi’s backdrop!

For cupcakes we thought it would be fun to add sugar feathers and beading as well.

I also love incorporating color into the desserts so these delicious french macarons were the perfect addition.

At the shop my mom, who is also the co-owner of Sweet & Saucy Shop with me, is know for being the Queen of Cake Lollipops so she did Red Velvet and Vanilla Pops and dusted some with golden shimmer!

This was such a fun experience and I’m so glad all of us ladies at Sweet & Saucy Shop got to be a part of it! Happy Birthday Miley!

Sophie’s Ice Cream Party

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

This party was surely one of my favorites of the year! My good friend Lynda Ly, from Grand Soirees, always puts on flawless events and I knew her daughter’s first birthday party would be no less. She came up with the ice cream cone theme and I immediately LOVED it! I had so much fun creating the dessert table for this party and have to thank Sarah K. Chen Photography & Trista Lerit Photography for the gorgeous images. I also snuck in a couple photos I took because I couldn’t help myself from taking tons of photos once I was done.

I wanted the birthday girl’s cake to mimic her dress and then I thought it would be fun to put a fondant ice cream cone right on top, as if it was floating above the cake. We had tons of fun making ice cream cone cake lollipops, sugar cookies, cupcakes, and french macaron lollipops!
