September 2009




It was definitely a busy weekend! Sept 18th, 19th and 20th, we had 12 weddings and several groom's cakes. Chef Amanda is still feeling a bit out of sorts but being the trooper she is, she made it through the weekend.
We had two 5 tier wedding cakes that required a 2 person delivery. It is quite daunting to deliver the big ones when you are doing it on your own, so Amanda and I delivered the the five tier cakes together.
The first "big one" went to St. Peter Chanel Church for Jennifer and Shane's wedding. The hot pink and black were fabulous on the cake and in the room.

The next "big one" was delivered to the Old Towne Athletic Club for Stephanie and Tyler. The light pink and white wedding cake was a 5 tier square.
Shane's groom's cake took hours to complete but was well worth the time. It top tier is a replica of Tech Tower. I carved the tower from styrofoam but then covered it in fondant. The tower sat upon a chocolate fudge iced cake.

On Sunday, the 20th, we delivered a very fun cake to Villa Christina for Natalie and John.Their plan was for an outside wedding. It was a shame that it was raining the entire weekend. (We know how that big rain changed things!). Natalie wanted a fairytale, Alice-in-Wonderland cake. Her colors for the cake were deep purple, champagne and gold. Sandra, Natalie's mother, found the cutest ornament and we were able to match the colors of the champagne/gold. I just love how the cake came to life, step by step.

We had many great cakes this past month and are looking forward to another month of exciting cakes with new challenges!
