WEDDING: Keskeny-McCall, Flint Hill, 9/18/10

Jen Keskeny and Chris McCall chose Flint Hill in Norcross as the location of their reception. As always, the folks at Flint Hill were gracious and willing to help in any way they could. LOVE this venue.


Jen fell in love with the "fat dot" design ... so here is her "fat dot" cake with Navy ribbon at the base. If you look close at the cake topper (yes, there really is one on the top of the cake) ... it's an acrylic heart etched with their names and wedding date.

For the groom cake, Chris wanted to show his faithfulness to his DAWGS .. so the Georgia "G" was in order. So sorry they lost their game that day! : (

WEDDING: Travis-Smith, Anthony's Fine Dining, 9/17/10

Remember ... if you have plenty of wedding cake, you can always use the grooms cake at the rehearsal dinner. This is what Rob and Kelly chose to do. This Golf Ball cake with picked up on Thursday and brought to Maggiano's (Perimeter) for all to enjoy.



Kelly Travis and Rob Smith chose Anthony's Fine Dining as the site of their reception ... I've never had the opportunity to dine at Anthony's but have heard it is very good.



Kelly and Rob needed a "cutting cake" and cupcakes. A cutting cake is a little 6" cake made specifically for the "cake cutting ceremony". The Fat Dot design was chosen ... add a lovely arrangement on the top and you've got one pretty cake.

Bring on the cupcakes !!! 18 dozen to be exact ... Red Velvet, Strawberry, Chocolate and Vanilla. When I went back later that evening, the hot "flavors" were Red Velvet and Strawberry !!! Folks were taking them out of the box as I was helping pack the leftovers.

WEDDING: Joiner-Firouzabadi, Roswell River Landing, 9/4/10

What a beautiful day Jordan and Cyrus picked for their wedding. Not too hot .. a nice breeze ... bright blue sky ... and when I went back later that evening to pick up the plateau .... everyone was outside in the back dancing and having a great time.

Roswell River Landing was chosen as the site of Jordan Joiner and Cyrus Firouzabadi's reception. It's a great venue. It's very "plain", so that means you can come in and decorate it any way you want. You can really show off your personality.

A pretty blue ribbon was added to the bottom of each tier along with the "fat dot" design. Thought the cake turned out real nice.

NOTE TO BRIDES: If you are paying your florist for cake floral .. please make sure your florist delivers and/or provides it !!! Otherwise I have to snip hear and there at your centerpieces to get enough floral for your cake.

WEDDING: Bell-Nelson, FireWater Chop House, 9/3/10

Erin arrived for the tasting appointment with her parents, Joyce and John (friends of a dear friend) ... Erin would have been just fine with just a courthouse wedding, but a little celebration (reception) after the wedding wouldn't hurt either. So, Erin and Mike wed at the Forsyth County Courthouse and their reception was held at the FireWater Chop House in Cumming.

Their union also meant a "football" house divided ... so we brought some fun to the cake as well. Both tiers were vanilla filled with Cookies n' Cream ... Georgia (UGA) was represented on the left; and Georgia Tech on the right.

WEDDING: Mangren-McKay, Private Residence, 8/16/10

This was an intimate wedding for an adorable couple. Syreeta Mangren and Dante McKay married at a private residence in McDonough on a Monday with close friends and family all around them.

I was introduced to Syreeta by one of my former brides turned forever customer, Nacirema. I met with Syreeta and Dante on August 10th and their wedding was six days later. Picking from the colors of their wedding invitation, we designed a simple yet elegant looking cake. Two tiers, springmoss and gold ribbons, and their monogram. I think it came out great.

Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. McKay !!!


VENDORS: All of her vendors were close friends, but I did get to meet her photographer and will receive a professional shot of the cake.

Wedding Cake Flavor/Filling:
6" - Strawberry cake filled w/ Strawberry Cream Cheese

WEDDING: McIntee-Rachford , The Fox Theatre, 8/14/10

When we arrived at the Fox Theatre ... everything was being put in place and everyone was busy .. it was so great to see some of my favoite vendors once again. I think my husband has a little crush on the florist!!! LOL

Meghan McIntee and Matt Rachford married in the Grand Salon of The Fox Theatre ... their reception was across the hall in the Egyptian Ballroom.


Meghan and Matt met with me back in March. At the conclusion of our meeting we had decided on the bridal cake design .. alternating layers of dots and scrolls. Well, about a month later Meghan emailed me and described a new cake design that she had seen ... one with scrolls at the bottom of each layer and dots at the top of each layer. I love how her cake came out .. and now refer to this specific cake design as "Meghan". The full floral cascade added to its beauty.

Matt is a major Georgia Tech fan .... I love creating Buzz.
