Eliana’s Ombre Ruffle Cake

When Karine of Seasons of Life Events contacted us about creating a cake for her granddaughter’s baby shower we were super excited as we love her work!

She shared with us that the theme of the event was “You Are My Sunshine”, and allowed us some creative freedom.  Lately I’ve been in love with ruffles – they are so pretty and romantic, and OMBRE (having colors or tones that shade into each other) is a hot trend in the wedding world right now.

We designed a 2-tier buttercream cake, with yellow ruffles on the bottom slowly fading into white on the top tier in a soft textured buttercream.  We hand painted the “you are my sunshine” banner, and Karine provided the pennant banner cake topper.  For their flavor, they chose our Guava Cake with Lilikoi Cream Filling.

A Chic Baby Shower for Alison

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

Sunset Ranch Launch Party: Ceremony Design

To showcase another of Sunset Ranch's many venues, they created a ceremony site on the main lawn.  Again I love all the little details that went achieving this romantic, rustic look - the feather and twisted branch chandelier, flowers in cowboy boots , an aisle treatment of twisted branches - reminds me of tumbleweed, roping.  Just beautiful...

We created two cakes for the event.  The first was a two-tier white fondant cake with gold fillagree side designs, fresh orange rose topper with crystal butterfly picks.

The second was a two-tier light yellow fondant cake with yellow sugar carnations and a round impression trim.
