Melissa & Bryan’s Wedding…To Die For!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Melissa & Bryan were some of the first weddings clients that I booked back when I started that I KNEW would be amazing and I have to toot my own horn and say that I was right…it was AMAZING!  Their attention to detail was fabulous and their sense of style really showed through in everything from the flowers to the dresses.  Of course a wedding this gorgeous takes a whole team to pull off…Courtney from Joyful Weddings & Events did such a great job with every detail, Amelia & Justin Lyon killed the photos (definitely some of my favorites EVER), Nicole DeAnne made Melissa look stunning on her special day, and Kristin from The Treasured Petal blew me away with the flowers!  Rancho Las Lomas is one of my favorite venues to work at and from the photos you can see it is a lovely backdrop for a wedding!  Well now that you know how this beautiful wedding came together lets look at some photos!

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!

Spanish Flamenco Style Wedding

Friday, November 20th, 2009

I have been wanting to post about this wedding for such a long time now, but had to wait until the fabulous spread came out in Utterly Engaged which is an amazing wedding resource for any bride or vendor.  I was so happy to be featured in the online magazine and am glad I can share it with you now!  This wedding had such an fabulous team behind it because Aaron & Barbara hand picked their wedding industry favorites and since Aaron is a fabulous wedding photographer they knew exactly who they wanted working on their wedding!  This was the first time I had the pleasure of working with Christina from Simply Modern Weddings and I was blown away with her attention to detail and overall design concept.  She is not only talented, but one of the sweetest people ever!  I was also lucky enough to have Gabriel Ryan Photography documenting the beautiful day.  I love Gabriel & Carlie so much and am always overjoyed when I find out they are going to be shooting my desserts.  Kristin from The Treasured Petal matched the floral design perfectly with the Spanish Flamenco theme…love her!  Those are just a few of the talented vendors at the wedding…definitely check out the end of the post to get the rest of the scoop!  So without further ado here are the gorgeous photos!!!

The linens for the weddings were perfect and they are actually what inspired the cake design…

2009-09-06-barb-and-aaron-00045

I think this is one of my favorite dessert tables so far!  I love how the linen and the cake match and the simplistic, clean look is my style completely.

We made the lace pattern on the cake with sugar paste and then accented it with a gorgeous red dahlia sugar flower.  Sara did a fabulous job on this flower!

For the mini desserts we made homemade chocolate chunk cookies, chocolate mousse dessert shot glasses, cake ball lollipops, and cappuccino cheesecakes.
