Congratulations to Brittney and Cory!  I just loved this cake! Brittney and Cory were super fun to work with. I think this may be one of my favorite cakes of the year. Brittney brought me a picture of a cake she'd seen in a magazine and wanted it to be very similar, just changing a couple things and colors. This cake was beautiful and elegant, but also very unique. The blue texture behind the flower vines is a lace pattern done in light blue buttercream. It gave just a subtle hint of something interesting behind the focal point of the cake, which was the flowers and vines.  The flowers are all sugar flowers, with 2 large open peonies and then the orange/yellow vine flowers. The flowers are all handmade from gum paste and then colored with special edible food color dusts. They were so pretty and my favorite part of the cake. The colors just popped against the white and blue background. Brittney and Cory's reception was held on the top floor patio of Noah's, which is such a beautiful venue. It's open, airy, and very gardeny, and the cake fit in perfectly. This was such a fun project to work on, and I thoroughly enjoyed working with this sweet couple. I wish them a lifetime of happiness!! |

Congratulations Lacey & Jeff!  Lacey and Jeff were such a great couple to work with. They had a very fun and specific theme for their wedding, Baseball!! Both are huge baseball fans, Lacey's favorite team being the New York Yankees, and Jeff's favorite team being the Atlanta Braves. They wanted to incorporate their love of the game and their teams into their wedding. Let me tell you, it was such a cute wedding reception. They kept the theme throughout so many details but added beautiful flowers and other details so it was fun and whimsical yet elegant as well. They had some fun things for their guests to enjoy like a photobooth (how fun are these at weddings!), a gorgeous red colored candy buffet, and wait for it........a snow cone machine! How awesome is that??!! I'm sure their guests had an absolute blast. Suzzi Williams from Smile Now Photobooths did the photobooth, candy buffet, and even the snow cone machine. She's a fantastically talented lady who is all about making a wedding your very own. If you are looking for any of those services, be sure to check her out at www.smilenowphotobooths.com.  The colors for the reception were white, black, and red. Keeping in theme with their team colors. Lacey wanted the wedding cake to be elegant and beautiful. It was a very fun and unique cake. The entire top tier was covered in single sugar flower blossoms. The middle tier had the black floral stencil and red fabric ribbon. The bottom tier was done in a buttercream version of a pleated design. I loved this cake, and it was all Lacey's design. She took several elements of cake designs from other cakes and made her very own cake, which I love because it's truly a unique cake for her wedding.  One of my favorite parts of their wedding were the cupcakes. Instead of serving cake to their guests, they had cupcakes. There were 2 flavors of cupcakes and 2 designs of cupcakes, one with the Altalna Braves team logo and one with the New York Yankees team logo. I thought this was such a cute idea and it let guests "pick their team" by choosing which cupcake to go with. Lacey's team flavor was chocolate with peanut butter buttercream and Jeff's team flavor was apple spice with cream cheese buttercream. YUM!! We set them up on 2 tall cupcake towers. They fit in so perfectly with every other fantastic detail of the reception. I just loved working with Lacey and Jeff! I wish them an absolutely blissful life together and thank them for choosing me to be part of their special day. Congrats again to both of them! |
