Starbucks Coffee Cup
As some of you may or may not know, I used to own a coffee shop. SO, it was very painful for me to make this cake! Luckily it was for a good friend's mom so I was able to work through my distaste of Starbucks and focus on delivering a great cake.
Pink and Grey Damask Wedding Cake
Unfortunately, the lighting from this reception does not help this wedding cake picture at all. The design of the cake was inspired from the brides wedding invitations which were done in a soft pink and grey stamped damask pattern. The design of the cake followed as such. The top tier was elevated with a dark pewter candle stand and was accented with a pink feather and grey fondant ribbon.
Dove Hunt
This was the centerpiece cake for a Dove Hunt, hosted annually by one of my regular customers. The dove was sculpted from rice cereal treats and covered in fondant. The tree log was also made the same way.
Starfish Reception Cake
This buttercream cake was frosted in an ocean blue and accented with fondant starfish and white sugar pearls for a reception from a destination wedding.
Redneck Wedding Cake
I had a unique request from a bride this summer for her wedding cake. She wanted a nontraditional cake in the form of her fiances pickup truck. She also wanted their dog in the truck bed, taking a bite from a traditional "wedding cake". After describing her vision in email, she followed it by saying, "I guess its a little redneck". Well, I honestly think that is far from the case! Weddings are about personalization. And, I think any time you can add elements that represent you as a couple, your entire reception will enjoy it!
Navy Blue Wedding Cake
I was so excited to get complete design freedom on this wedding cake. Between each tier are crystal glass separators. Gumpaste anemones accent the top and bottom of the cake with a variety of other whimsical sugar flowers.Lily Pulitzer Graduation Cake
This cake was a fun deviation from the traditional style graduation cake. The design and colors of this cake were inspired by Lily Pulitzer Clothing and Stationary Collections.
Black and White Damask Home Brew Wedding
3 tier butter cream wedding cake decorated with elegant black damask piping. The bride also surprised the groom with a 4 pack of his micro brew beer. Except, this version of his beer is much sweeter than the real stuff!
Purple Flower Branch Wedding Cake
Simple buttercream wedding cake with a basic fondant branch and purple accent flowers.
Pink Peony Wedding Cake
This 5 tier wedding cake was frosted in a whispy buttercream. Each tier was decorated with fondant floral rose cutouts and pearls. 3 bright pink gumpaste peonies anchor the middle tier.
