Old School Glamour

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

This wedding is pure beauty!  The couple, the flowers, the venue…..everything is simply breathtaking!  I had a such a great time working with Lauren on her wedding and she was a true dream bride.  She really valued my opinion and trusted in me to pull off her vision!  Hayley & Nate did the set up for this wedding and Carissa from JL Designs did the flowers  & design for the wedding and our lovely mini dessert bar as well!  The talented Yelena Johnson, of The Stylish Soiree, also did the gorgeous wedding design too & I have to say that I loved every detail.  Thanks to Aaron Delesie for the beautiful photos!

No onto the desserts!  We did a full mini dessert bar filled with mini cupcakes, cookies, and cake lollipops!  I really wish we could’ve done their wedding cake too, but it came with the venue.  At least Lauren came up with a great idea and we surprised Brian with a boxing glove cake since he is loves watching & participating in boxing matches.

I am absolutely so lucky to get to work with so many talented people all the time!  This wedding was a dream come true and you’ll see why when you look at the amazing photos that Ashley Rose took!  My fabulous friend Jesi Haack from Jesi Haack Weddings was the genius behind it!  This was the wedding she talked to me about for month and months, saying that she was SO excited for it and now I can see why.  The couple, Lauren & Jeff, were amazing and really let Jesi do her magic!  Carissa, from JL Designs, blew me away with her floral design as always & my girls at Posh Paperie, Karrie & Elizabeth, designed the most adorable invitations ever!

For the dessert table we just wanted to make it bright, whimsy, & lots of fun!  The backdrop that Jesi created for us definitely helped pull it all together!  Hayley & Nate set it all up & I think they did a fabulous job!

Big News!!! Guess who’s going to be on TLC!?!

Thursday, July 8th, 2010

So I am finally allowed to spill the beans…I’m going to be on TLC’s new summer time cake show, FABULOUS CAKES!!!  I definitely have to say that taping for 3 days straight inside my shop was one of the craziest experiences of my life and soon all of you will get to see it!  There was a lot of fun, a lot of stress, and a lot of CAKE!

FABULOUS CAKES will air August 2nd @ 10pm ET/PT so make sure to watch it!  We made two huge, over the top cakes and I’m pretty sure it will be fun to watch as my whole team and I race to finish everything on time! Here are a couple behind the scenes sneak peeks!  Here I am with the producer for the show!

It was so crazy having cameras record my every move, word, and facial expression…to be honest I’m a little scared to see how I come out on TV, but I’m crossing my fingers that I don’t seem too weird!

Thanks so much to TLC for this great opportunity!  We had a great time doing the show and can’t wait to watch it on TV!

Bows, Ribbons & Frills

Wednesday, July 7th, 2010

Wedding season is still upon us and that means LOTS of cakes to share with you! This first wedding was actually from last year & it was for a friend of mine!  It was a pleasure making their cake & mini cupcakes & overall I was really happy with their white and white wedding cake!  They wanted elegant and I think that’s what I gave them!

We made white sugar peonies for the top of the cake, a large sugar bow for the middle, brush embroidery flowers, and fondant draping to resemble her dress.

The cake was on a table all by itself so it would stand out and then they also had a table full of mini cupcakes!

They wanted a little bird topper too, so we did a sculpted pair & painted them in a champagne shimmer.

The sweet bride also wanted to surprise her parents with an anniversary cake since they were celebrating their special day along with them!  They wanted to keep it simplistic & use fresh succulents…I love the look of it!

Dreamy Bridal Shower!

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

My sweet wedding planner friend, Nancy, from So Happi Together recently asked me to do some sweets for her friend’s bridal shower & of course I said yes!  Nancy is amazing at styling and planning events and this one definitely shows that!  I have to say a huge thank you to Connie Chung for these lovely images too!!!

Brandon & Kristin Kidd’s Wedding

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

I had the pleasure of being a part of Brandon Kidd & his now lovely wife Kristin’s wedding!  I bet many of you have seen these images all over the web because their wedding truly was one of a kind.  They had an amazing team of vendors and of course the lovely Jasmine Star shot the gorgeous photos & you can check out her blog to see all of them!  Green Wedding Shoes also featured the fabulous wedding!
