Bride & Bloom Magazine

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Boy have I waited a long time to feature these photos!  I was lucky enough to be a part of this gorgeous shoot last year and we were so happy to finally see it get featured in Bride & Bloom Magazine!  The wonderful team behind the beautiful photos are Stephanie Williams who shot the day, Heavenly Blooms who did the amazing florals, and Posh Paperie who created the adorable paper goods!  I hope you enough this lovely Spring shoot as much as I did!

For the cake I decided to incorporate both round and petal tiers and I love the overall shape of the cake.  We used the lace pattern that Posh Paperie designed and printed it out on edible frosting sheets and then adhered it to the cake.  Finally we made a beautiful open sugar pink peony to accent the top of the cake.

Some other exciting news is happening this week!  Some of you might know that I had the great opportunity to film with Tori & Dean on their upcoming new wedding series “STORIbook Weddings“.  We filmed 3 out of the 8 episodes with them and the season starts this Wednesday @ 10pm on the Oxygen Network! I don’t know exactly what episode numbers we are on, but I would definitely tune in for the whole series as it should be a lot of wedding fun!

Recent Cakes from Sweet & Saucy Shop

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

I’m still trying to catch up on blog posting some cakes that we had the pleasure of making last year!  I have been so blessed to have such an amazing team behind me this past year and am excited as we go into this next year full of new couples, new cakes, and lots of fun times!

First up is a cake that I was so excited to work on!  This cake definitely has the most sugar flowers we’ve ever done before and I loved it.  We wanted it to be romantic and elegant and I think we did it!

This next cake was a challenge that I was up to.  The bride worked for the Girl Scout Company and wanted to implement the cookies onto the main wedding cake and 4 small side cakes as well.  I painted the cookies with edible gold paint and then added some chocolate jewels & bottoms too.  I really was thrilled with how it all turned out!

This black and white cake below is one that Kyong and I dreamed up.  I love having Kyong hand paint on our cakes so we came up with a look that we liked and let her go to town.  We accented it with a huge white sugar rose on top and it was finished!

Not all cakes are elegant & girlie, this next cake is full of modern fun with a whimsical flair.  We used hand cut fondant pieces and then painted on the cake as well.  The shape is unique too because instead of traditional rounds the bride wanted hexagon shapes.

Next up we did a traditional elegant wedding cake with a vintage twist.  We did brush embroidery on two of the tiers, mimicked the brides jeweled band on her wedding dress for one tier, and then lastly added a single blush pink garden rose to the bottom tier.

I love the look of bright colors, textures, and multiple cakes when done in the right way and I think we managed to pull it off with this next wedding.  Thanks to Jasmine Star for the photo below!

And lastly, normally draping isn’t my look, but I really did like this traditional style cake that we created.  I think the monochromatic look of it makes it look a little modern, but still very elegant and traditional.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and definitely let us know what you think of the cakes!

Intimate Wedding for Two

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

This is truly a intimate, gorgeous wedding that I’m sharing today.  The bride & groom chose to celebrate the day with just one another and I have to say that is turned out simply beautiful. I had the pleasure of working with the talented team from Lisa Vorce’s company Oh How Charming & of course Aaron Deleise captured these beautiful images.  Here are Lisa’s words…

When Aaron called me to tell me about Brian and Carey’s “wedding for two”, I was delighted! Planning and designing private weddings has become a bit of an obsession for us. Nothing more romantic than a private celebration for two! A little bit different than elopements in that these private celebrations have all the core components of a wedding (i.e. cake cutting, etc) — only difference is there are no guests! So intimate, so special, so incredible.

You can check out their whole post & even a breath-taking video on Style Me Pretty!

Modern Photo Shoot

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I absolutely love getting to do photo shoots with talented people and this shoot was definitely one of them!  I teamed up with my dear friends Courtney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, Carissa, from JL Designs, and Elizabeth & Karrie, from Posh Paperie for this amazing opportunity!  The fabulous wedding photographer, Jessica Claire, asked us to do a mock wedding set up for one of her photo workshops and I have to say that I think we went to town!  I absolutely love this modern, bold look for a wedding!  I thought it would be fun to start out with dessert photos for a chance, so here they are!

Featured in Southern Weddings Magazine

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

I am so excited to share with you the shoot we did for Southern Weddings Magazine!  This magazine is definitely one of the most stunning wedding magazine out there and I was so honored to be featured in it.  The team of people I worked with was nothing short of a dream team!  The talented Nancy, from So Happi Together, and Melissa from, The Loveliest Day, planned, designed, and put together the whole shoot!  Jeni, from Found Vintage Rentals, brought all of her fabulous vintage furniture and props…she makes me so jealous with her collection!  I was so into all the paper goods that Mae Mae Paperie designed for the shoot! The simply lovely Megan from Honey & Poppies did the luscious florals and Justin & Amelia, the amazing husband and wife team from Amelia Lyons Photography, simply blew me away with the photos!

I absolutely loved the color scheme for the shoot and we had fun pulling in lots of design detail with the desserts.  We did a main center cake with white on white lace and then two side cakes in chocolate ganache frosting.  I adored all the signage that Mae Mae Paperie made for me and thought it looked so cute on my desserts!

Gorgeous Wedding Cakes

Monday, November 15th, 2010

I’m so excited to share some recent wedding cakes we’ve done!  These are some of my favorites from the past summer and I hope you enjoy them!

First up, a Victorian style cake with gorgeous, light tones and intricate molds!

This next cake is a completely different style…modern, bold, and very unique!  We based the cake off the design of the bride & groom’s invitation and I was very excited to see it come to life.  Did I mention that is was HUGE!

This dahlia sugar flower that my sister made has to be one of my favorites ever and the sugar threads that we made brought the design full circle.

Lastly, this mustard yellow vintage lace cake was a pleasure to make.  Kyong and I loved the look of this cake and placing it on a wooden log pulled it all together!
