Ecuadorian Delight!

My latest wedding cake was created for a lovely couple who recently married at Veritas Vineyard on one of the most beautiful days in March. This was one of the rare occasions that I did not meet with the bride...our tasting was with Alex, the groom, and both moms....and boy did we have fun! I could feel the comfort and familiarity of their relationships with each other and I knew that this marriage was starting off on the right foot.

Alex chose a Lemon Cloud cake with Mango curd and Raspberry buttercream with fresh raspberries embedded in the buttercream layer. The whole cake was covered in fondant and finished with a peacock ribbon and adorned with fresh flowers from Pat's Floral Designs.

This was also the first time I worked with Sasha Rothwell of Rothwell Photography and needless to say, I was blown away with her images! The stunning ballroom at Veritas was awash in a purple and blue glow and each of Sasha's images captured the lighting, the mood, and of course, documented the emotions so beautifully! I leave you with one of my favorite shots from Mary and Alex's wedding...check out more at Rothwell Photography Blog.

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.
