one little word...trust.

When Courtney and Troy contacted me to create their wedding cake for their intimate wedding at King Family Vineyards, we knew there was a possibility that we would not be able to meet before their wedding. This meant that they would not have a chance to sit down and see if our personalities meshed, nor would they be able to try my cakes to see if it suited their tastes. Instead we hashed out everything via phone and email to create the perfect combination of cake and design for their big day.

One thing I do not take lightly is the fact that wedding cake is often the first bite of food shared by a newly married couple...in fact, this first bite should symbolize the sweetness of marriage and the sharing of food. So though Courtney and Troy would not be able to taste their cake before the wedding, they chose a Red Velvet Cake with Raspberry and Chocolate buttercreams...a fabulous combination! All of this to say, Courtney and Troy, I appreciate you trusting me to create your wedding cake. I really enjoyed having a part of your special day.

A huge thank you to Mostardi Photography for these fabulous images. They took so many amazing images, and I just could not choose one, so they sent them all! Thank you, Heather and Carver!
