2nd Annual Tee It Up For Conner!

I had the priviledge of creating another cake for the annual Tee It Up For Conner tournament. Last year, we created a golf bag cake for the event...this year we changed it up and to a classic tiered cake, we added golfer's argyle, a putting green, and edible images created by Conner's brother and sister.

Thank you, Kim, for thinking of me to do this cake for your event!

Tropical Paradise

When I met with Desiree and Mike, I immediately knew we would have fun with their cake. The bride had a discerning and elegant eye and the groom was involved in the whole process...from tasting to design! Desiree wanted to incorporate touches of her Filipino heritage into their wedding and, of course, the cake! Desiree and Mike decided on a vanilla butter cake with a deliciously tropical mango curd filling and Navan vanilla cognac buttercream...utter decadence! Their cake was then covered in a mango colored fondant and draped with a fondant drape. The absolutely breathtaking Vendella roses were provided by Shawn Cossette of Beehive Events.

These amazing pictures were gracisouly provided by Robert Holley, of Robert Holley Photography. I had a hard time choosing from his wonderful shots...be sure to check out his blog for more pictures.

I know, I know...

...I have been busy...REALLY busy. I have not had much time to blog lately and hopefully in the next few postings you will be able to see why. The start of my Fall has been happily busy with lots of weddings and other events. Living here in one of the most beautiful places, I can see why people would want to marry here...the weather has been phenomonal, so many lovely venues, and the most fabulous backdrops courtesy of Mother Nature. So, with that said...let me finish up the summer weddings.

This next cake was a blast...you all know how I love surprises. Groom's cakes are usually sculpted or carved or pay homage to the grooms hobbies or interests. When Dickie Morris from the always amazing Easton Events crew contacted me for a VT lunchpail cake and a hardhat, I knew we were in for some fun. I love the amazing pictures that Will Kerner, of Will Kerner Photography, captured! These pictures say it all...check out the surprised look on the groom's face! Note the red velvet cake with alternating chocolate and vanilla buttercream...what a striking combination!

More Cupcakes!

I met with Anjali and her lovely family for a tasting last summer. They were interested in bringing in Anjali's Indian heritage to their east meets west wedding at Keswick Hall. The wonderful, Jennifer Hamlin, of Events with Panache helped bring their inspiration to life!

Note the adorable cupcake wrappers in pink and orange. This is a fun way to add an unexpected splash of color to your wedding. Cupcake wrappers come in many colors and themes...I can help you find the perfect ones for your event!

Happy 4 1/2 Birthday, Molly!

This cake was done for a dear friends daughter...her birthday falls on Christmas Eve, so this lucky lady gets to celebrate her birthday TWICE a year...once in the winter with family, and once in the summer with friends. Usually the summer party is spent basking poolside. I repeated the under the sea theme...perfect for a pool party! Happy Birthday, sweet Molly!

Happy Birthday to a Wonderful 6 year old!

On June 8th 2003, we were blessed with the arrival of our first daughter, Asha. On the last day of school in June, we celebrated her birthday with her classmates and two of her buddies, Elijah and Hugh. Happy 6th Birthday, to 3 great kids :)!

I love you, Asha Maliha...may your life be filled with as much joy and happiness as you bring to your family!

With an under the sea theme, we accomplished the goal of being able to use pinks and purples, as well as greens and blues...making the birthday girl AND birthday boys happy!

Jefferson's Rotunda - SURPRISE!

In early April I received an email from a lady who wanted to surprise her daughter and son-in-law with a cake in the shape of the Rotunda. The bride and groom both went to UVA, as did many of the attendees of the wedding. I worked with the always fabulous Jessica Sheffield of The Event Company to make sure the bride and groom would have no idea about the cake. The lovely pictures are courtesy of Rob Garland from Rob Garland Photographers. Thanks for the pictures, Rob and Meg!
