Rustic Beauty

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

I am so excited to share this gorgeous wedding from Bre, of Joyful Weddings & Events!  It was held at the Fransiscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano and the gorgeous photos are from Sarah of Frenzel Photography!  I love the outdoor rustic elegance this wedding has…simply beautiful!

How amazing is this backdrop…I was so thrilled when I saw it!  We did a trio of rustic cakes, which is one of my favorite wedding looks and then accented them with large dahlia flowers…can you say LOVELY!

Green, Grey, & White: The Perfect Color Scheme

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Well, as many of you probably know I am a big fan of the color grey!  I have tons of clothes that are grey, my office is painted grey, and I LOVE making wedding cakes with grey on them.  This wedding was such a dream to do…not only was I blessed with a fabulously nice couple, but they also were smart enough to hire on Courtney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, Amy Squires & Co for photography, and & Kristin from The Treasured Petal.  All three ladies did a gorgeous job with this wedding and Ynes & Ryan were simply beautiful together!  Here are the details from their special day!  Thanks to Amy & Lane for the wonderful photos!

I just LOVE the backdrop Courtney made for me!

Of course I had to take some detail photos of the cake too, so here they are.  We made a magnolia sugar flower for the top tier and accented the cake with ribbons, fondant lace, and pearl accents.  This was actually one of my largest cakes to date…once it was on the table it was definitely taller than me!

I hope Ynes & Ryan have a Happy New Year!  Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your special day!

Lots of Events!

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Well, sadly my blogging hasn’t been as often as I would like lately.  Between baking, decorating, client calls, tasting, working on the store, and employee training I am barely finding time to sleep (which is my #1 priority if you know me!).  Within the last 6 days I think I pulled three 15-20 hour days and the rest were at least 12 hours…talk about exhaustion!  I do have to say that I am so thankful for my new assistant Louisa! She helped me out so much this past week and I am so excited to have her on my team!  I also treated myself to some much needed pampering today and indulged in a one hour massage…can you say HEAVEN!!!  I have to say that massages are one of my favorite things in the world and I think I will be scheduling many more in the upcoming future!

Well enough about me and my aches and pains, lets get to the good stuff…DESSERTS!  This post is going to be a schmorgasboard of wonderful delights! This first photo is from my girlfriend’s recent 25th birthday party.  When she called me to see if I could make the cake of course I said yes!  I wanted to do more of a homespun look for the cake and used a simple fresh flower to decorate it. 

The cake was chocolate cake with layers of espresso kahlua cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache. I also thought I’d throw in a photo of my gorgeous girlfriends…I am so blessed!

And of course my lovely girlfriend Kate!

These second group of photos are from some recent events that I did with Courtney Toney from Joyful Weddings & Events. She is a fantastic wedding & event planner and I have been so privileged to work with her.  She set up this whole candy bar and commissioned me to make the matching flower cookies.

This other event was a fun hawaiian-themed engagement party that Courtney threw. She asked me to do the desserts and this is what we came up with.  Thanks to her hubby for the great photos.

Lastly I wanted to leave you with some photos from the update of the dessert studio!  The wall is up, the plumbing done in the bakery part, and the construction sign is up too!

Thanks so much to my Uncle Dan at Instant Signs who made this for me!
