Featured Wedding: Isabelle and Adam's Modern Moroccan Design

When we first met with Isabelle and Adam they shared that they wanted something traditional but ornate with lots of piping details.  They left the cake design up to us, only requesting their cake have a Moroccan-like piping design, have their custom "A" monogram (see CD photo) and be tall!  Their color scheme was fuschia and lime green but we kept their design in different shades of pink and fuschia.  Their cake stood 2 feet tall and was finished with pearlized pink sugar roses and silver loop accents.  For their flavors, they chose our Yellow Butter cake with Lilikoi Cream filling, Pretty Pink Strawberry cake with Fresh Strawberry Cream filling and Guava cake with Guava Cream filling.

 

I could tell when I met with them that Isabelle had really fun energy which they wanted to bring to their destination wedding.  They were looking for something different that could easily be incorporate in their reception and saw our cupcake bouquets featured on Val & Val wedding blog post .  Cupcake bouquets are a dozen cupcakes arranged in a vase display to look like a floral arrangement.  For Isabelle and Andy, we created 5 cupcakes bouquets of Coconut cupcakes with Pineapple Cream filling topped with pink buttercream icing and a single fresh green orchid.  These were displayed on their candy buffet and flanking their wedding cake. 

It was wonderful to work with a relaxed couple who gave us creative freedom with their cake.  Their laid back approach to enjoying their wedding day was great - even when it rained at their outdoor reception, they were totally laid back enjoying the time with their family and friends.

A Chic Baby Shower for Alison

 Photos courtesy of Taryn Reid Photography

We were contacted by Shilhi of Passion Roots to provide a cake for a baby shower she was throwing for her Business and Client Relations Manager, Elana.  The baby shower was originally planned before Baby Alison was born, but due some complication they held off on the party till after Baby Ali was born.

The “chic soiree” held at the former Cupcake Boutique in Ward (now a pop-up shop) had a pink color scheme – using all shades of the color.  The table was set with vintage glass plates and cups, colorful cloth napkins, a bath salt and loofah favor table, and guests enjoyed an array of delectable bite-sized treats: chicken salad croissants, strawberries, truffles, muffins and tasty chips.

 

 

 

 

 

The main cake was a 3-tier buttercream iced cake, with the top and bottom tier embellished with textured buttercream.  The bottom tier included a silver pearl detailing trim, middle tier: sugar detailed appliques with top boarder ruffle trim, top tier: sugar brooch accent.  The topper (looking down) was a flower burst buttercream iced pattern with loop accents.

The cupcakes were Yellow butter cupcakes with Fresh Strawberry cream filling iced with white buttercream, textured silver and white sanding sugar and brooch accent.

The Cupcake bouquets were mini yellow butter cupcakes with white buttercream icing and crystal butterfly picks arranged in a vintage crystal vase

Val & Val Wedding Video

When the talented Joshua Fair, owner of Fisheye Studio , contacted me to be a part of Val & Val's wedding day video, we were eager to participate! Fisheye Studio has a spectacular style and vision for their wedding photography and cinematography.  Their movies convey such emotion and feeling like I've never seen before.

Valerie & Valiant's video was shot throughout their wedding day documenting the all the prep that goes into putting together a wedding.  Their Same Day Edit cinematography was played that night at their reception.

Featured Wedding - Val & Val. One Name. One Cake.

Pictured:  Cupcake Bouquet.  Our cupcake bouquets made up of a dozen cupcakes decorated with fresh orchids in a decorative vase.  The illusion of our bouquets are made to appear as a flower vase.  Its a unique crowning accent to a decorative cupcake tree.

Valerie & Valient (Val & Val) were a married on September 19, 2010.  When we met with them to design their wedding cake they knew immediately they wanted a cupcake display for their wedding cake.  But instead of doing the traditional round cake topper, they wanted something different.  So after discussing a few ideas, we came up with our Cupcake Bouquet topper.  The bouquets give their cupcake tree a regal finish set against the beautiful ballroom backdrop. 

Val & Val chose 2 flavors for their cupcakes: our Yellow Butter Cupcakes filled with Fresh Strawberry Cream filling and our Coconut Cupcakes filled with Pineapple Cream filling.  Each cupcake was topped with buttercream icing and small cherry blossoms color matched to the fabric of their bridesmaids dresses.  Their Cupcake Bouquet was accented with fresh white dendrobium orchids.

Congratulations Val & Val!!
