Congratulations Chelsey & Jake!
Chelsey and Jake held their ceremony and reception at Talon's Cove in Saratoga Springs. It was my first time delivering a cake out to this lovely venue that overlooks Utah Lake and has stunning views of the mountains and lake. Wow! I met with Chelsey and Jake last fall to talk about their wedding cake plans. Chelsey later brought me in a sketch her florist had come up with that was an original cake design, and I loved it! Chelsey chose a lovely color combo of ivory and champagne colors. The cake was covered in ivory fondant. Then I added ivory scrolls and sugar pearls.
Down the center of the cake we did a gradually widening champagne-colored inlay with black corset-laces with champagne fondant pearl borders. Chelsey found these beautiful brooches we used for the centers of each lace section. They were so pretty!
When we got to the reception to set up the cake, we added the beautiful peony flowers her florist had provided. The flowers added that final perfect touch to the cake. It looked so beautiful in the reception ballroom with all the other fabulous details they did there. I am so proud of this cake. It turned out even better than I had pictured it in my mind. I love when I get to see the bride's reaction when she very first sees her cake, and Chelsey's reaction was priceless! She was a gorgeous bride and did such a great job on all the details of her wedding.
Chelsey wanted to surprise Jake with a groom's cake. Jake is a big Boston Celtics fan, so we did a Celtic's themed cake with basketball cupcakes! Jake had no idea, and I got to see his reaction when she showed him his cake. It was great to see his reaction.
Chelsey and Jake were awesome to work with and so much fun! I wish them a wonderfully happy marriage!
