Fall Inspiration Photo Shoot

 
 
Utah Bride Blog Fall Inspiration Photo Shoot
 
A few weeks ago, I was asked to participate in an amazing photo shoot with some incredibly talented vendors that was conceptualized by the fabulous ladies at Utah Bride Blog.  The inspiration was Rustic Chic and the color palate was rich berry colors, mustard gold, and teal.  Honeybees and hexagon or honeycomb patterns were also part of the inspiration. 
 
 
I love getting to do inspiration shoots.  It gives me a chance to really play and be creative, and I usually like to go a little bolder, more unique, or just think outside the box for the cake design.  For the cake design, I wanted to really stick with the rustic and organic elements of the theme of the shoot. 
 
 
I loved the honeybees and honeycomb idea we had to work with, so I made fondant honeycomb pieces and fondant honeybees and randomly attached them.  I also wanted to give the look of actual honey dripping from the honeycomb, so I used piping gel, which is a thick sugar gel, to make it look like honey and brushed it on some of the honeycombs.  I love grossgrain ribbon and the organic texture of it, so I used a fondant grossgrain ribbon texture for the teal bow and also for the yellow ribbon borders.  The buzzing bees were added to give it some whimsy and also a bit of movement. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Fondant blackberries and raspberries were added for that pop of bold colors.  Dried purple flowers and twigs were also added.  The cake base was covered in burlap, which really tied in with the rest of the theme.  This was a blast to work on and I had a wonderful time! 
 
 
The incredibly talented Jimmy Bishop with Gideon Photography photographed the shoot. His work is absolutely stunning.

Thanksgiving Point Wedding Media Preview

A couple weeks ago, I got to be part of the Wedding Media Preview at Thanksgiving Point.  I was invited by them to participate in this event, which I jumped at the chance to do.  It was a lot of fun and I got to meet some other great vendors in the wedding industry as well as present to some fantastic people on the media side of things.  Of course, I talked about cakes and the trends in the wedding cakes today.  They made beautiful displays for 3 different themes:  vintage, classic, and modern.  I got to have some creative freedom to come up with a small cake for each theme for the corresponding display.  The amazingly talented people at the Emporium at Thanksgiving Point came up with these gorgeous displays, which I was blown away by. I loved how everything came together, and just wanted to share some of my favorite photos from each display.      Which one is your favorite????

Another great bridal show!

It was another awesome bridal show on Saturday at the Bridal Extravaganza!  I got to meet lots of new clients and am really looking forward to working with all of them!  I absolutely love bridal shows and love getting to meet and discuss wedding cake plans with new couples.  It's such a fun and exciting atmosphere.
 
Hopefully I got to meet you at the show!  I do get very busy while I'm there, so if I didnt' get a chance to talk to you, please feel free to call or e-mail me so we can set up an appointment.  I hope those of you who were able to attend got some great ideas from the amazing vendors they had there and were able to get a lot of your wedding planning done.  I'm looking forward to all the great clients I get to work with in the upcoming months.  Brian and Rachel from The Bridal Extravagnza do such a great job with these shows and I'm always impressed with how smoothly they make things work.  Thanks for another successful show!
