Grey and Lime

For some reason, I love working with variations of grey.  When this brooklyn bride told me she was looking for a cake decorated in grey and lime green I was so thrilled!  I covered this two tier cake with individually painted and scored fluted-round circles.  Then I added a small tier in between that was wrapped in lime green to give it a pop of color.  Finally, sitting on top was a bouquet of purple centered calla lilies.  It's the first time I've seen such an amazing variation of this flower.  The bride sent us this nice photo of the cake before it was cut and devoured :)

 

While I was setting up the cake and adding flowers to the top, the flower girl came up to me and asked me if she could have some :)

Bridal Guide

The current issue of Bridal Guide features our textured pinwheel cake in hues of white, cream, and ivory in a story called "Whiten Up."

"Textured gumpaste pinwheels add a playful yet posh punch to this three-tiered vanilla confection, filled with delicious mocha buttercream."

Moustache

Moustaches have recently become such a popular prop for fabulously silly wedding photos.  They are everywhere!  So naturally someone asked us to make moustache cookies for their wedding...how cute!

 

I saw this picture of a bride and her bridesmaids on Wedding Bee if you are curious about the craze I'm talking about :)

Brides: Cost saving tips

The current edition of local Brides Magazine features our cakes in a very interesting cost story.  We made two cakes with the same colors and same shape, but for different budgets.  The price per slice really depends on the techniques used and the amount of labor involved.  Hand-made sugar flowers, intricate cut-outs, and poured sugar details are among the highlighted factors that will increase the costs.

Check out the story to find out ways to save money when ordering your wedding cake.  Ours are the purple and lavender cakes  :)

Brides: Style Inspiration

This month's issue of Brides local magazine is out!  We made a two-tier angular cake for a wedding inspiration board based off of Bottega Veneta's Spring 2010 collection.  The sharp shape of the top tier mimics the one shoulder pieces that are prevalent in the collection.
