New Wedding Cake Designs

Friday, November 4th, 2011

I thought I would share some new cake designs we’ve done lately!  Up first one of my favorites from this last summer.  A peacock feather bohemian style head piece inspired the cake design.  We made the cake head piece all out of sugar and then did a white on white pattern for the base of the cake to give it some texture.

I just love the color palette for this cake.

Up next an example of a romantic wedding cake with touches of blush pink and white sugar roses cascading up the front.

This cake is definitely more modern with a bold color and pattern on the base tier and then a sugar peony we colored silver.

This is one of my favorite all white on white wedding cakes…it’s so delicate and romantic looking!

This next cake was inspired by a cake design from The Caketress that one of my clients loved and then we put our own spin on it to incorporate her wedding style and design.

Last but not least a sampling of cakes to mimic the iconic “Cakes” painting by Wayne Thiebaud.  Irene did a great job with all of these cakes and the client loved them!

Shipwreck Photo Shoot

Monday, July 11th, 2011

I absolutely LOVE these photos from this photo shoot I got to be a part of for a feature in Nonpareil Wedding Magazine!  Jen, from Green Wedding Shoes, came up with the idea for the shoot and Cortnie, from Canvas & Canopy, brought it all to life with the help of Meg, from Le Partie Events, who did the breathtaking florals!  You can check out the whole list of the fabulous vendors at the bottom of the post!

For the first cake for the shoot I took a more masculine take on it and did a basic outline on the cake and then did a sugar succulent on top of the cake.

I also made two custom cupcakes with individual sugar flowers…

For this next cake I did a more feminine look it.  I covered the cake in coral fondant and then did grey sugar lace and a whimsy sugar flower.

This next cake might be one of my favs…I love the mint green color, the cluster sugar flowers in three different colors, the sugar threads, and the white lace!

Sweet Stuff Wedding with Jesi Haack Designs

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

My friend Jesi Haack is quite the wedding designer and this next wedding shows just that!  She can take two people and really pull parts of them into the actual wedding design, so their big day is all about them and their loves!  This wedding is all about fun, frilly, and a little crazy too!  Mark Brooke Photography took the amazing photos!

Mod Themed Wedding Shoot

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

I am so happy to share this next photo shoot with you!  I had the pleasure of working with some of my best girlfriends in the industry again on a fun 1950’s Mod inspired wedding shoot!  Jesi Haack and Jasmine Star dreamed up the fun concept and I think it turned out fabulous.  Carissa from JL Designs did the gorgeous florals and design as well and Wiley Valentine created the perfect invitations and paper designs.

I had a really great time making the cake.  I took strips of fondant and coiled them together and painted them with a metallic gold color.  I love the movement of the design and how quirky it is!

Modern, Fun Wedding!

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Well I am back safe & sound from Italy…I had the most amazing time there and will share more with you soon, but first I thought I would feature one of my favorite weddings from last year that I’ve been dying to show you.  I once again got to work with a fabulous dream team of other vendors, with my dear friend Jesi, from Jesi Haack Weddings at the helm.  Below Jesi describes the fun & unique elements that made this wedding one of a kind!

62145_475496941494_659221494_6767780_3960287_n

Jesi says….

“Alicia & Scott are hilarious!  Scott is one of the writers for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so of course they wanted their wedding to portray their awesome sense of humor.  They also have the BEST story of how they got together.  Scott is known for his well manicured beard.  Alicia is known for exceptionally large (yet beautiful) teeth.  Sooooo, we took that and with the help from Karrie Pyke Designs and Posh Paperie, made that the apex of our design.  It was my most favorite element.  The rest just fell in to place, especially with the clean, crisp style of Carissa from JL Designs.  She spray painted succulents white!!  WHAT??  They realized my *not so secret* dream with their 1st dance to my all time favorite song, “Glory of Love” by Peter Cetera.  AND Scott’s dancing in his scuba gear.  And who freaking better to capture the entire thing???  Max Wanger.  Done Deal.  Enjoy their story.”

I had such a great time setting up this dessert display!  I loved the modern, clean look to it and the color scheme is definitely right up my ally!  Jesi made the most amazing backdrop for me and I couldn’t of been happier with it!  This was the first time we made a white succulent sugar flower too and I have to say it is one of my favorites now!

Lots of Eye Candy!

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

Now that summer has officially ended I thought I would have time to breathe and the amount of weddings each weekend would slow down, turns out that October is one of our busiest months ever!  The last couple months we have had the pleasure of making so many wedding cakes for amazing people and I am truly blessed to look back on this summer and see what we did!  Here are some photos of recent cakes we have done…enjoy!

First up, one of my favorites!  We got to explore the Wedge Wood style for this cake and I really loved how it turned out!  We searched hi and low for real pieces that we could make custom molds out of and I love the detail that each mold brought to the cake.

This cake we did a whimsy style white flower with a black center and then did hand painting on the cake that matched the invitations for the wedding.

Here is a fun peak at the whole set up from the fabulous Amelia Lyon!

I also got the chance to make a cake for my dear friend Nancy’s daughter.  I went to pastry school with Nancy and we have kept in touch over the years, so it was quite an honor to have her ask me to make her daughter’s wedding cake!

This bridal shower cake the client wanted it to be fun & girly, so we did white crystal sugar all over the white fondant cake and then accented it with a fushia sugar flower, black fondant ruffle, and three black brooches.

IMG_1495

IMG_1496

IMG_1499

This wedding cake below is very sweet and taylored looking.  Sugar bows, brooches, and quilting…oh my!

This next cake was for a small Indian style wedding we recently did.  I loved the pattern and colors that we used on this cake!

When writing this post I can see that we have made a LOT of fushia sugar flowers lately!  Although a lot of the cakes have similar flowers, the overall design is completely different.  This cake had brown ribbons, damask, white chocolate jewels & brooches.

This next cake was on the simple side.  The main accent piece we made was designed after the bride’s dress.  She had white jewels on her dress, but we wanted to pull in the avocado color in her wedding so we did the jewels in that color.

IMG_1676

Another sweet pink cake we did for a birthday party!  The design was based off of a cake from Confetti Cakes that the client liked…very cute style!

IMG_1636

IMG_1644

IMG_1648

This last design was a very fun one to see come to life.  I loved the gardenia flower and the whimsy style flowers & vines. I made them all out of sugar paste with new molds that we made.  Since grey is one of my favorite colors I loved seeing it on a cake too!
