People Magazine Laptop Cake

At the beginning of the month I got a phone call from People Magazine saying they were doing a story on online dating.  Apparently 1 in 5 couples met on the web!  So they requested a laptop cake, but it still had to look like a traditional white wedding cake with a topper too.  Here's the cake and story.

At the delivery I met Lori and her fiancee Jeff who shared with me their crazy story.  Ten years ago they were set-up and went on a date.  She blew him off.  Then three years later, they were set up again.  No chemistry.  The THIRD time, they were matched up on match.com and.....now they are getting married :)  Check out the issue to read about 4 other couples and their online dating stories.

Where fate greets the sun...

One of our clients wrote a short poem for her fiancee and wanted to incorporate that into her cake.  How meaningful :)  It goes like this :  By the ocean I gave my heart, where fate greets the sun.  Where tides rise to kiss the surf, where love rides and hope floats.

First Birthday!

This past weekend we made a birthday cake for a cute little girl turning one.  It was an orange and yellow version of our classic birthday banner cake with the addition of bumble bees and various animals.

Hap-BEE birthday Soleil!  Flavors were red velvet with cream cheese frosting AND vanilla cake with peanut-butter buttercream and rasp preserves.

(201) Bride

The latest issue of (201) Bride features a collection of six cakes designed after fairy tales.  We created a cake for the story of Show White. 

 "...this cake captures the wholesome innocence of this classic story.  Three tiers, white as snow, topped with a bounty of fresh-picked apples makes this cake the fairest of them all.  Fondant ribbon wraps each tier in the colors of a forest.  The perfect centerpiece for a fall wedding, this apple flavored cake is tastefully complemented with a brown sugar buttercream filling."
