WEDDING: Libkind-Kovitch, Temple Sinai, 5/29/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Marianna Libkind and Sam Kovitch
VENUE: Temple Sinai, Marietta

Our first of two deliveries of the day:
What is black, white, and red? This couple's wedding cake, that's what !!!

Marianna came to her appointment with photo in hand, her cake would look contemporary and elegant at the same time. When we arrived at her reception site, I learned that there were no extra flowers available for the cake. This cake looked bad without floral, so I inconspicuously snipped 5 roses from centerpieces and placed them on the cake per the original order. Those flowers brought the cake to life.

Eileen, why do you take a photo of your cakes? 1. To have proof of what the cake looked like when I left the reception site, just in case something happens to it.

When I finally (just last week) got to see the professional photo's of the cake, the design had changed a good deal. There was now a cascade of red roses on the cake .. where did those come from? Who put them on cake? It was not the design that the bride and I had discussed.

Turns out, they did have extra floral after all from the bridemaid bouquets and the extra floral was placed on the cake. I don't plan to purchase the pro shot because it's not the cake I designed ... Although the bride was very happy and loved her cake (both in looks and flavor), I loved the cake as originally designed.

Best wishes to Marianna and Sam for a lifetime of happiness.
