WEDDING: Hall-Brown, The Loft at Castleberry Hill, 6/25

BRIDE and GROOM: Yashica Hall and Jason Brown
VENUE: The Loft at Castleberry Hill


I met Yashica and Jason about a year before their big day. Both Yashica and Jason are very tall and standing next to them at 5' 1" I am very short.

Festivities began Friday night with the rehearsal dinner at The Loft. Nine dozen cupcakes (Strawberry, Lemon, White, and Carrot) were prepared for that event.

The wedding cake turned out great. Navy ribbon on alternating layers ... with bows and brooch's (a nice trend) ... Navy dots on the other layers. Yashica was very pleased.

Jason's cake was all about chocolate ... chocolate cake filled with chocolate buttercream frosted with chocolate fudge and adorned with chocolate covered tuxedo strawberries ..... YUM! He hugged my neck (he's like a large teddy bear) and said "thanks for making our day so special". That means an awful lot to me.

This was my first visit to The Loft ..... everyone was so nice. A special shout out to Alecia (Security guard) for watching the truck during deliveries both Friday and Saturday. Only wish she could have stopped the parking police from giving me that ticket !!! : (

WEDDING: Shelton-Nava Wedding, Biltmore Hotel, 6/18/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Courtney Shelton and Miguel Nava
VENUE: The Biltmore Hotel, Georgian Ballroom

This bride knew who all of her vendors were going to be from the very beginning ... She put together quite an incredible team.

When choosing a venue like the Biltmore ... GO BIG for your wedding cake !!! The ceilings are very high. Courtney didn't need 5 tiers worth of cake, so we made one fake, bringing the amount of servings down to the appropriate size ... but she still had the big look of a 5 tier.

The wedding cake design changed a little from the day she signed with me until the day I delivered. It was always going to be 5 tiers, but we removed a design, kept it smooth, elegant, and added an additional bow. LOVE LOVE LOVE this cake. It was so pretty. Can't wait to see the pro shot of it.

Celebrating Miguel's heritage, the Flag of Mexico was a terrific design for his groom cake.

Wishing Courtney and Miguel many wonderful happy years together .......

WEDDING: Horne-Langdon, Park Tavern, 6/17/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Sydney Horne and Joel Langdon
VENUE: Park Tavern Piedmont Room

Sydney met with me about 15 months before her wedding day. She was an out of state bride (Texas) who was travelling alot and getting married in her home town (Atlanta).


After going through my portfolio's we decided to tweak one of my popular scroll designs by adding a thin black ribbon at the base. Now, add hot pink floral to the top and you've got an elegant cake. (At least that is what Sydney's aunt called it ... elegant).

The groom cake was a surprise (to the groom). It was my version of his family's sailboat ... Fiddler's Green. When Joel saw it, he was thrilled and very thankful. Especially seeing the little Beagle riding at the bow.

I've seen a sneak peak of their wedding photo's on Janet Howard Studio's blog .... gorgeous. Can't wait to see the cake photo's.

Wishing Sydney and Joel much happiness.
