Featured in The Knot & Southern California Brides!!!

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

Well, I have been wanting to share this wonderful news with all of you for a LONG time, but I had to wait until I had the magazine images in hand so I could show you the FABULOUS news!  As you can tell from the title…my cake and cookies were featured in not one, but two top wedding magazines!  I couldn’t believe my ears when Karrie, the bride and one of my best friends, said that The Knot had contacted her talented photographer, Amy Squires, about publishing her wedding as a featured “real wedding” in their national magazine!  We both screamed and jumped up and down and patiently waited as the issue came to print. Then we ran down to Border’s and picked up our own copies to share with friends and family!  To let a little secret out I actually had to end up frosting, decorating, and stacking the whole cake at the hotel room the night and morning of the wedding since it was in San Diego and I needed to be there for all the festivities too (that’s what friends are for right!)  Well all my pain, sweat, and tears paid off when I saw Karrie and Brian’s face as they saw the cake…getting published in a magazine was just the cherry on top!  

Another funny thing is that TheKnot.com is actually featuring Karrie & Brian’s wedding as their featured “Wedding of the Week” this week on their website!  Check it out here!

For everyone that doesn’t know Karrie, she is one of the most talented people I know.  I go to her for everything…her opinion, expertise on decorating, getting my website designed, and anything else I can think of!  She is a graphic designer who specializes in website design and custom invitations, but really can basically do anything creative!  She designed and made everything for her wedding decorations and I am so glad that The Knot recognized her amazing talent!

Well, if getting in one magazine wasn’t enough I was contacted by Southern California Brides about my silhouette cookies that I made for their wedding.  They loved that I custom made the cookie cutters to match the bride and groom’s exact silhouettes and then designed the cake to incorporate their modern color scheme and design.  

I thought I would leave you with these pictures of the beautiful bride and I…thanks so much Karrie for designing an amazing wedding and asking me to help along the way!  Love you! 

 

Lots of Goodies

Monday, March 16th, 2009

LIfe as usual is quite busy!  I have so many random photos of different orders that I have recently done, so I thought I would just do a post and shove them all in here! They were all a lot of fun to do and I hope you enjoy the photos!  Definitely give me your feedback if you have a chance…I love to hear your thoughts and opinions!  

First off is a recent wedding that I did.  They venue was the Marvimon in Los Angeles…definitely my favorite venue yet!  If you are getting married in the Southern California area you have to check them out!  The bride and groom were such a pleasure to work with and I absolutely loved their whole wedding look!  The bride looked gorgeous (I am so bummed I didn’t get a photo of here in her adorable dress)!  The cake was buttermillk cake with lemon cream filling and fresh raspberries.  The cake was covered in vanilla buttercream and decorated with fresh flowers, black satin ribbon, and tiny white dots.   

As you can see from the photo, the middle tier is twice the size of a normal tier.  It is basically two separate cakes stacked on top of each other and dowelled in the middle.  Then I just frosted it as one cake tier.  It is cut the same way you would cut any other cake…you just cut the first cake and then take off the cardboard base and continue cutting the next cake.  

For their favors they decided to go with cake ball lollipops.  They choose buttermilk cake dipped in white chocolate and red velvet cake dipped in dark chocolate.  We then bagged and tied all 115 bags and put their monogram on the front.  I think these are such a great wedding favor and are quite tasty too!

These next treats were made for some of our corporate clients.  We printed their logo on edible frosting sheets and then placed them on our delicious sugar cookies and also made matching cupcakes to go with them.  For the cupcakes we placed the edible frosting sheet on a disc of fondant to give it stability.

This next cupcake was done for a friend of my sister’s.  She threw her friend a graduation party and wanted some cupcakes for the celebration.  I will be selling these fabulous liner’s along with many others on my website shortly!  If you want to order some right away just leave me a comment and I can email you all the information.

This next cupcake is from a small birthday order that I did.  I used a chocolate transfer sheet to get the fun design on top and then just colored the frosting and added some sugar sparkle to finish the look off.

This cake was made for one of my little brother’s friends.  He had a rock climbing birthday party and his mom wanted to surprise him with a fun cake to go along with it!  Here is a quick photo demo of how I did it.

And lastly, this final cake my sister and I made for an auction at my old high school.  The cake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting and then I covered the cakes in white fondant.  My sister made the gorgeous sugar flower and decorated the cake with black fondant lace.  

Well, hope you enjoyed the random post of photos!
