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!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Smog Shoppe Wedding #2

Monday, September 20th, 2010

Round two of the Smog Shoppe weddings features the lovely couple Eileen & Roland!  They wanted an intricate style wedding cake with influence in design from Jonathan Adler & the Parker Palm Springs…they wanted a fun retro/lux looking cake & reception!  Caroline Tran took the gorgeous photos and I can’t thank her enough!

Hollywood Hills Wedding

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

When I first met Heath &  Olivia I was blown aways with just how gorgeous of a couple they were.  They were truly in love and beaming from ear to ear.  Their photos were no different and really made me pause for a second and just stare at the beautiful location, food, friends, and decor!  Uyen from Sassy Girl Weddings & Events did an amazing job on this wedding and is always a joy to work with!  This was my first time working with Float Away Studios and I can’t believe how gorgeous their photography is! The setting for the wedding was at the beautiful Villa Fiona in the Hollywood Hills…what a great find that was!

They had their monogram featured throughout their wedding and wanted to include it on the cake too.  For the cake they wanted a modern, clean black and white cake.  We added a little texture to it by adding white fondant bands all up the cake with a central black band in the middle.  They did lots of fun mini desserts too!

Favorite Cake of the Year!

Sunday, August 1st, 2010

Well by the title of the post you can probably guess that I am in love with the cake I’m posting today!  I love working with Jesi Haack & Carissa from JL Designs because I know that I am going to have an amazing client that has wonderful taste! Joanna and Brian were just that!  They gave me full control when it came to the cake and I was so excited when I found out their look.  I had been wanting to create this style of cake for a while now and once I pitched the idea to Joanna and she said yes, I was SO excited!

There is definitely more to their wedding than my cake of course…they wanted to have a “Great Gatsby” style wedding and I have to say they definitely pulled it off! They also had their wedding at one of my favorite venues…Marvimon!  The gorgeous photos were taken by Annie McElwain, who I can’t wait to work with again!

Carissa’s bouquet of balsa wood flowers was simply stunning!

Finally…the CAKE!  My idea for the cake was to create one large open garden rose that cascaded all down the cake, but had a definitely center to it that started at the top.  I loved the idea of it being all white!  It is definitely my style with its modern look that is simplistic, but yet has great detail!  Hope you like it!

And of course it has to taste really delicious too!

Thanks Joanna & Brian for trusting me to make your wedding cake…I had such a wonderful time!
