WEDDING: Harris-Baldwin, VFW Post 4706, 3/6/10

I really enjoyed my time spent with this couple. Marguerite Harris and Donald Baldwin have great chemistry between them and such personality. They made me laugh often. I really wish I could have stayed at their wedding to witness the joining of this couple and watched as they gathered friends and family to celebrate.

When Clay and I arrived at the VFW, no one was there, nothing was set up ..... it was approaching 5:00 when I decided I had to make a phone call or two to the Coordinator, the person in charge of decorating, and the Caterer ... the only one who answered their phone was Cathy (the caterer) who was en route. As soon as she got there, she let me know where the cake was to be placed and I got to work. Clay offered to help her arrange the room (move tables/chairs) and get the reception set up. After I was done with the cake, I pitched in also. It sure was looking like a reception by the time we left.

Marguerite wanted a simple cake ... no design except for a red ribbon at the base of each layer. The topper was a glitzy "B".

The entire cake was made of white cake with alternating fillings of raspberry buttercream and Bailey's

I can't wait to hear from Marguerite and Donald and listen to the wonderful stories about their wedding and reception that I'm sure they will have lots of. Best wishes to you both.

WEDDING: Hilderbrand-Hammet, Marietta Country Club, 1/9/10

Katie Hilderbrand and Jason Hammet met with me late April 2009. Katie had a specific design in mind for her cake. Two shades of grey ribbon with different textures (satin and grosgrain) around each layer, with a bow adorned with a beautiful broche and long streamers draped down the front of the cake. It was exquisite.

The cake flavors alternated between White cake filled with Amaretto and Red Velvet cake filled with Cream Cheese. Yummy.

Jason's groom cake is named "Berrylicious" .... chocolate cake, filled with chocolate buttercream, frosted in fudge and topped with strawberries ... tuxedo's, white chocolate drizzled, chocolate drizzled, chocolate covered.


Here's a note from Katie:

Thank you SO very much for such beautiful cakes on our wedding day! Everyone LOVED both cakes and we're still getting calls about who made them - so expect some more clients in the future! They really were fabulous and we thank you wholeheartedly for being such an intregal part of our wedding day. I can't wait to send you the pro pictures!"

Well, she doesn't have to send the pro pics because Janet Howard (Blue World Studios) has already sent them. Thanks, Janet - awesome job as usual.
