An artist gets her cake...

I met with Nicole, Matt and BOTH of their families for a tasting last year. What a fun bunch it was...they all had a great time mixing and matching and creating their own flavor combinations. When Nicole mentioned that she wanted to use my services after seeing a monkey cake on my website, I have to admit, I did wonder where we would go with her wedding cake! Turns out, both Nicole and her mom are very artistic and had an appreciation for the zany nature of that cake.

Nicole and Matt eventually chose a cake in traditional ivory fondant, draped with a shimmering drape and decorated with dozens and dozens of hand made edible gumpaste grapes. The effect was striking and worked so well at Veritas Vineyard.



Their cake flavors were Double Chocolate Cake with raspberry buttercream and fresh raspberries and whipped cream cheese frosting and Vanilla Butter Cake with dulce de leche filling and chocolate buttercream.

Congratulations, Nicole and Matt! I look forward to seeing you next year on your first anniversary!

Tatiana and Justin are married!

When Jennifer Carroll brought Tatiana and Justin in for a tasting early this year, I just fell in love with them. They were both so excited about their wedding day, but also just seemed to be so content that they were spending the rest of their life together. After going through the many designs that they were drawn to and learning of their wedding colors of chocolate, lavender, sage green and ivory, we came up with a few designs. Tatiana AND Justin chose their favorite...I just love it when the groom-to-be has so much interest in the planning. In addition, I also wanted to add a few additional pics of this absolutely gorgeous wedding created by Jennifer Carroll. The breathtaking pictures are courtesy of Jen Fariello. Usually I have heard that the pictures do not do beautiful weddings such as this any justice, but Jen's pictures will change your mind!










Tatiana and Justin's wedding was featured on Style Me Pretty as well today. If you have not yet seen this blog, head over to find the word in inspiration for today's weddings! I am truly honored to be included with such a fine cast of wedding vendors!
