Fun Pops of Color

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Sometimes when designing cake I tend to stay to more neutral colors and wouldn’t always think to cover a whole cake in all color, but these next two cakes definitely remind me that some fun pops of color just might be the perfect thing sometimes!

I have to thank my amazingly talented friend Michelle, from Mibelle Photography, for the stunning photos. She is always so sweet and orders so many cakes from me and I am even more lucky when I get the photos back from the events! This yellow floral cake was one she ordered for her best friend’s bridal shower. I loved the room decorations they put up and they even rented the clear stand from my friend Carissa and filled it with lemons and more florals…love it!

Some of you might recognize this cake design since it was one I came up with based off a painting and Sydney loved the original so much she wanted to do it for her wedding cake as well, but this time we did it in a fun purple color. Kyong did this cake and I think it turned out perfectly!

For the set up instead of using cake stands Sydney wanted to use old cigar boxes…I think it turned out great!

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!

Full Post: Featured on sTORIbook Weddings!

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Well I have to say that I am very glad I snapped some photos of the gorgeous all chocolate dessert bar we did for the show sTORIbook Weddings! We were there all day until 1am and even did two interviews, but I guess that all ended up on the editing floor room…welcome to the world of TV

Like I said before I was quite happy with how the dessert bar came out though. We used all clear crystal, cut glass crystal dishes, and antique silver for the set up and had the gorgeous rentals from Found Vintage Rentals that we were able to display them on. On of my favorite aspects was the gorgeous hanging chandelier above the dessert table…so romantic! Here are some photos from the day!

I was also lucky to get some beautiful new photos from the wedding this morning from the photographer Susan Bordelon!

Fun Kid’s Cakes

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

We have lots of fun kids cakes to share with you today! Kyong gets to do most of the kid’s cakes around the bakery and I think she does a fantastic job! First up the adorable ladybug cake for a little girl’s 1st birthday party!

This jungle cake was for a fun baby shower and I think it is definitely all boy!

These cute and funny hippos were actually the main attration for a groom’s cake we did for a recent wedding. I guess the bride and groom call each other hippos and so they wanted a fun cake to celebrate that!

Cute kitty cats accented this lovely birthday cake…

I am just smitten with this angel and cloud themed Christening cake…it is just so dreamy!

We also do a lot of basic designed buttercream cakes at the bakery and I’ve attached some below…

Rustic Dream Wedding

Monday, December 20th, 2010

I am so excited to share these gorgeous photos with you from Wildflowers Photography! When I saw them for the first time I was completely in love with every detail from this wedding. Hayley and I both happen to know the bride, Whitney, from high school so it was such a joy to get to be a part of her wedding day! I think they designed every aspect of this wedding brilliantly and I hope you enjoy looking at the photos as much as I do!
