WEDDING: Potts-Weinziehl, Rhodes Hall, 7/9/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Meagan Potts and Peter Weinziehl
VENUE: Rhodes Hall

It was so nice to be back at Rhodes Hall ... such character this venue has. I love the dark wood and the stained glass. They could use some help with fingerprints on the mirrors, but it always makes for a fantastic venue.

It was an overcast, rainy day ... but the rain stopped long enough for Meagan and Peter to say their vows on the front lawn. Meagan was a stunning bride and I wish I could have seen Peter's face when he got a look at her !!!

Here's an example of having the look of a 4-tier cake, but not all the cake a 4-tier provides. The third layer was fake. Classic single dot and ribbon design, beautiful floral on the top.

Thanks to Lauren Routhier Photography for providing the great cake shot !!!

Wishing Meagan and Peter endless years of happiness.

WEDDING: Taylor-Lewis, Le Fais do-do, 7/9/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Jessica Taylor and Kevin Lewis
VENUE: Le Fais do-do

I had never heard of this venue before and was anxious to see it, so when we arrived I took a little extra time to check it out. It has great potential. An 8,000 Sq. foot blank palette for you to come in and decorate as needed. It's huge and you can hold both your ceremony and reception in one place.

I'm so looking forward to receiving the pro shot of this cake. The top tier was based on the wedding gown detail, and the shot of purple (ribbon) with a gorgeous brooch just added to its magnificence. I had issues with the table that the cake was on .. not sure where it came from, but it was crooked ... the feet were planted on the floor, it wabbled at the top where the top of the table meets the stem of the table and there was nothing I could do to fix it. Every time we went near the table, the table slanted ... making the cake look slanted. I wish I could have put a fence around it to guard it from folks coming up to touch (and slant) the table, but I couldn't.

I didn't meet Kevin until his wedding day, but met Jessica a couple of times. She was a hands-on bride .... provided the music, floral, she even made her cake plateau out of a styrofoam round for height, a piece of glass, and beautiful material. She looked stunning on her wedding day. Check out their get-away car that was parked outside.

Wishing Jessica and Kevin a lifetime of happiness.

WEDDING: Lauinger-Mayk, Little Gardens, 7/3/11

BRIDE and GROOM: Tressa Lauinger and Richard Mayk
VENUE: Little Gardens, Lawrenceville

I met Tressa in 1990. She was 5 years old. I've seen the best of Tressa through school, acne, boyfriends, frizzy hair, and super gluing her foot to the floor (yes, it's true). Then one day, she met Rich and we knew this was a special relationship. On July 3rd, I had the honor of creating her wedding cake.

Tressa chose a 4-tier cake with a simple dot design, bordered in black ribbon with lavender floral on top along with an "M" monogram.

Rich is an avid "A" class tennis player ... so an ALTA tennis court was in order for his groom cake.

I wish Tressa and Rich much love and happiness for a lifetime.

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.
