WEDDING: Kemeter-How, Paris on Ponce, 5/1/10

I had never heard of Paris on Ponce until Sarah and David came to meet with me ... they described it as an antique store with Le Maison Rouge in the back. They were right. It's quite unique. I don't think I would be able to describe it, so I suggest you go to www.parisonponce.com and go check it out yourself.

Each tier of the wedding cake was 1/2 white and 1/2 vanilla cakes filled with Bavarian Cream. The grey iced layers had a white single dot design, the white iced layers design mimicked Sarah's ring.

Thanks to Candace of Botany Bay for adding the floral. The cake turned out great.

Congratulations, Sarah and David ... so glad the rain stayed away long enough for you to get your special day in.

WEEKEND CAKES: 4/24-25

Hi - it was a fairly light week ... call it the calm before the storm.

In addition to meeting with 3 clients on Sunday, it was time for Megan and Jeremy's wedding ... read about them in the Wedding: Vosburgh-O'Heron 4/24 post.














Also created this Baptism cake which was brought to the reception site. This customer lives in the Athens area and I was heading to Winder .... it was easier for her to pick it up in Winder than coming all the way to my place. It was a slate blue color with dark fudge accent and white dots.



I'm late to get these posted, enjoy the rest of the week .. watch for more photo's after Saturday. My schedule is beginning to get busy ....

PROFESSIONAL PICS ARE IN !!!

Hi - please go check out the WEDDING: Williams-Karolyi, Michael C. Carlos Museum, 4/17/10 Wedding post.

Every once in a while, I get to meet a new "gem" out there in this wedding industry. Jeff Roffman is one of those gems. I had never heard of him, he had never heard of me, but I can't wait to work with him again. I couldn't decide which of the cake pictures to put up on the blog, so I put them all up. He made my cakes look amazing. If you are still looking for a photographer ... please contact Jeff Roffman at jmroffman@gmail.com, 404/437-7437, www.jeffroffmanphotography.com

Thanks for the quick turnaround, Jeff.

WEDDING: Vosburgh-O'Heron, Winder Community Center, 4/24/10

This was my second delivery to the Winder Community Center ... The exterior of the Community Center does not disclose what gem is hidden inside. When you walk into the reception area, the dark hardwood floors, that are so shiny they look wet, are beautiful. Add twinkle lights on the ceiling and plenty of room to create the reception of your dream and you've got yourself one heck of a reception venue. For those of you in the Athens/Winder area ..... it won't hurt to check it out.

Megan Vosburgh and Jeremy O'Heron met with me at the end of January. After going thru my portfolio, she decided on the fat dot design (which I really need to come up with a name for .. all suggestions welcome). Her cake fed 172 and were alternating tiers of Lemon or Vanilla cake filled with a variety of flavors ... vanilla buttercream, strawberry buttercream, raspberry, and chocolate mousse. A black ribbon went around the base of each tier.

Jeremy is an Alabama Crimson Tide fan. The last time I had created the Crimson Tide design was about 3 or 4 years ago. His cake was chocolate filled with fresh sliced strawberries. Yum!

Congratulations, Megan and Jeremy.



5/20/10 - Just got notice from their photographer that pro shots are available, but her price for a 4x6 shot of the brides cake is just too high. Not to mention that the photographer did not even take a picture of the groom cake. I hope to receive a copy when the bride gets the rights to her photo's. Until then, enjoy my shot of their cake.

WEDDING: Williams-Karolyi, Michael C. Carlos Museum, 4/17/10

I always knew my cakes belonged in a museum ... LOL !!! The Michael C. Carlos Museum at Emory was the site of Carrie Williams and Dan Karolyi's reception. It's a unique venue to say the least.

When Carrie first contacted me, I was already reserved to another bride for her date and time frame. The only way I could create her cake was for her to allow me to design/decorate the cake (of course), but have an associate of mine deliver and set it up. Carrie agreed.

She knew exactly what she wanted ... and when I saw the cake I fell in love with the design too . You could say that the cake matched her shoes. The cake was covered in (my) hand-crafted icing roses. It took a me total of 7 hours to create the roses.

The wedding cake was Almond cake filled with alternating layers of Raspberry or Amaretto.





















Can you guess how many roses are on this cake? There are 368 !!! 98 on the top cake, 120 on the middle cake, and 150 on the bottom cake.





Dan was all about Georgia Tech's Buzz ... Buzz was hand drawn on a chocolate cake filled w/ Bailey's. So cute !!!

WEDDING: Foster-Williams, Reunion Hall, 4/17/10

I love this venue. Reunion Hall is in Hoschton (Hooshton) and reminds me of home (New England). It's easy to get to and the staff are very nice and helpful. It was the site of Nicole Foster and Andrew Williams wedding and reception.

Nicole and Drew's wedding ceremony was right out front and while everyone was waiting for Nicole to make her entrance, there was lots going on inside. When I met Nicole, she had decided on a great cake design ..... but while waiting for her big day to arrive, she was browsing my blog and found a cake design that I call "The Mayan" and fell in love with it. The entire cake is encased in a "cage" of curly willow. This is one of those designs that looks different every time I create it. It all depends on the floral used. It's a great cake.


Drew's cake is called "All Cracked Up".


Congratulations, Nicole and Drew.


Will post pro pics as soon as I receive them from Melissa Pepin Photography (along w/ her contact info).

WEEKEND CAKES: 4/8-11

Two weddings and a Baptism cake this week.


The first wedding of the week went out on Thursday to The Atrium in Norcross. You tend to find a $$$ deal at venue's when you marry during the week vs. the weekend. Watch for the Reese-Hebert wedding post to appear.



The second wedding cake of the week was delivered on Saturday to the Old Decatur Courthouse. Watch for the Balachandran-Bradley wedding post to appear.











Then, Sunday morning, I delivered this sweet baptism cake to Lawrenceville.




Another busy week is ahead.
