Creating a Life Memory


It is a special treat to be part of someones special day. The cake will stay in their freezer for a year and in their hearts and photos forever. I work with brides and families (rarely ever the groom...but I think that is an entirely different topic) to create the cake that will represent them on this special day, and stay within their budget.

Heather and Caleb had dated and been engaged for as long as I can remember. I work with Heather's mother and it was a treat when she asked if I would create their wedding cake. There were very few strings to this one, they wanted a white stacked cake, but with color. Knowing the couple, a pure white cake would have been too boring for them. Heather's colors were rose and purple and needed to be incorporated into the cake. After searching books, photos, and online images they created a cake that appealed to them, by combining the details from three different cakes. The other thing to keep in mind is that the happy couple decided to have a small wedding with immediate family and friends (about 50 people) so when creating the cake they didn't want anything to huge because they didn't want to be eating cake for the first year of their marriage.

When all was said and done, and the cake, in different flavors, was cut and served, I think everyone was happy with the outcome. Heather and Caleb kept the cake off of each others faces and seemed to have a wonderful day. We wish them the best of luck in their future together.
