Pink, Black and White Wedding

To celebrate one of our cousin's weddings, we flew to Chicago and then drove to Indiana.  The bride wanted bling and pink flowers...and she loved the result!  I am especially proud of the sugar flowers that many people at the reception thought were real lilies. 

Daisy Wedding Cake

The bride and groom designed this cake from top to bottom.  From the blue to the daisies, it represented their love for one another...and for chocolate!

Engagement Bows

The bride's sister choose this design as a surprise at the engagement party. The wedding colors of blue and yellow were the base for this beautiful mint chocolate chip and vanilla cake. The daisy is the bride's favorite flower.

Dogwoods and Daisies

I love the dogwood flowers -- they remind me of the dogwood tree that was in my backyard when I was little. These flowers were made for a wedding cake tasting. The flavors were awesome -- strawberry cake with cream cheese icing, almond cake with coconut filling and buttercream icing, and chocolate with buttercream icing.

Hydrangea Cake

My mother and I hosted a wedding shower for a family friend. This vanilla cake was covered in purple fondant and accented with handmade white roses and hydrangeas. I used the couple's logo as a topper.

Wedding by the Pond

This wedding cake was created for family friends -- I remember when the groom was born! The couple brought me a picture of cakes they liked and gave me design freedom. The cake design incorporated the tree from the wedding invitation and venue. The roses and calla lillies were the bride's choice -- orange is her favorite color! The chocolate and vanilla tiers were covered in buttercream and marshmellow fondant. The decorations were made of fondant and the flowers were made of gumpaste -- everything was edible! I am very proud of this cake -- many people complimented me on the taste as well as how realistic the flowers looked!

Autumn Wedding

The couple who ordered the car groom's cake also ordered a wedding cake. The bride gave me a picture of a cake she liked and then I replicated the design. The top tier was chocolate and almond (a mix of the bride and the groom's favorite flavors!), the middle tier was almond, and the bottom tier was chocolate. Covered in buttercream and fondant, this cake was simple but elegant. The monogram and the fresh flowers finished off the cake and matched the venue perfectly!

A Luau Anniversary

I have not had the opportunity to make sugar flowers in quite a while so I was excited about making these! This vanilla cake was covered in buttercream and then accented with gumpaste and fondant decorations. The cake was made to celebrate a young couple's 1st anniversary. What a beautiful reminder of their union!

Our First Wedding Cake

Here it is! My husband and I are VERY proud of this beautiful cake. From the tasting to the designing to the baking to the decorating, this cake was a joy to create. The bride and I designed each tier to have a different look. To tie the cake together, we used pink fondant pearls and silk ribbon. The bride loved the cake! The colors matched the bridesmaid dresses perfectly (they wore green strapless dresses with a pink sash) and looked fabulous next to the pink calla lillies. I did not stress out about the cake until we had to leave it after delivery. I told the director that it was like leaving my baby! When we picked up the cake plate the next day, the bride's mother told us that the cake looked and tasted wonderful! The top tier and the 3rd tier were chocolate with buttercream and ganache filling (YUM!) while the 2nd and the bottom tiers were vanilla with buttercream filling. To hold up under the summer heat, the entire cake was covered and decorated with fondant.

Polka Dot Graduation

I love this cake! I designed the cake for a dear friend's daughter. The graduate requested polka dots and a design that incorporated her past at Wake Forest-Rolesville HS with her future at Virginia Tech. I started with red and blue at the bottom of the first tier to represent WFRHS and used the color wheel (thanks to an idea from a friend!) to progress to maroon and burnt orange at the top. The top tier of maroon and burnt orange dots represents Virgina Tech. I left open spaces to represent the new experiences she will have in the future. The middle tier ties in her past and her future by incorporating the colors from the bottom and top tiers into a sea of polka dots! I am very proud of this cake, but I am more proud of the graduate. I have known her since she was 4 and am blessed to be part of her life!

Wedding Cake Tasting

I am proud to announce my first wedding cake order! I made these cakes for the bride's tasting. The square cake is made with red velvet and cream cheese icing. The round cake with fondant is vanilla while the round cake with buttercream icing is chocolate (the bride's favorite!). I am so excited! The wedding is June 26!

Simple Elegance

Great for a shower or a wedding, this cake is simple and elegant. It is covered in fondant and decorated with a fondant drape and small calla lillies.
