Welcome to our Second Blog!!!

These are the wedding and groom's cakes that we created for August 22, 2009.

• Today's first cake (below) was created for Crystal. Crystal's entire theme was inspired by her desire for her event to be covered in crystals and sparkles. It was held at the War Memorial Building. Her colors were white and light blue - It was sparkly and it was beautiful!!!! This theme could have easily crossed over to "overdone" but it was executed with elegance by Alice Hendry (wedding coordinator) and A Village of Flowers. You can go to David Wright photography and see more pictures of her set up - truly stunning.


• Her wedding cake was inspired by her dress and incorporated two of her design elements, circles and squares along with extreme sparkles. The topper for the wedding cake was piled up crystals around a candle.

The next wedding cake for this weekend fed about 398 people. This wedding cake weighed 100 pounds. The size of a small person!!!!

• 
  This cake was created for an Indian couple who held their event at the Airport Marriott. The wedding coordinators were Shirley Dixon from the Marriott and Helen Morrisette for the bride.



• The design for the bride's cake was derived from the small detail that ran along the bottom of the couple's wedding invitation. The large swirl design on the rest of the wedding cake matched the background of the main table setting for the bride and groom. The flowers on the wedding cake (absolutely stunning) were provided by Enchanted Florists.
  

The groom's cake (below) Eagle, Globe, Anchor was for a groom who is a Marine. The cake was delivered to our friends over at The Palm Restaurant where the rehearsal dinner was held. It is always such a pleasure to work with any member of the military. We are so proud of all of them. The cake served 75 people - all of it was edible.

FAVORITES!!!

As you know, this is the section where we feature past cakes we have created sometime in our 8 years of cake creations.

This cake was created for an event that was held at The Avenue last fall/winter. The cake has embossed twigs on the sides of the tiers and a 3D vine that incorporates the brides colors and favorite flower - tulip poplar. The bride's theme was very earthy with moss, flowers and twigs in her decor.....and touches of copper. The florist for this event was Branching Out, Photographer was David Wright and coordinator was Alice Hendry.

This cake was created for a true burger connoisseur!! The size of the burger is about 14" in diameter and has everything on it! Everything on the burger is edible.


Thanks for following us. We will continue to add newer cakes as the weeks progress and hope to be up to date with the Monday Blog additions reflecting the cakes from the previous weekends along with our past favorites.
