WEDDING: Beauchamp-Guigou, Country Club of the South, 4/13/13

BRIDE:  Laura Beauchamp

Country Club of the South

GROOM:  Danny Guigou
VENUE:  Country Club of the South

I think I was more excited to create the Groom's cake than I was to create the wedding cake. 

Don't get me wrong, the wedding cake was gorgeous.  Love cakes with a different design on each tier, but it was the groom's cake that I was anxious to create ... especially with the awesome season the Atlanta Braves are having right now !!!  

I enjoy going to the Country Club of the South.  Their staff is always very nice, and very helpful.  Can't say that for every venue I go to ...  I even got to rub elbows with the infamous Banks & Shane (who were the entertainment for the reception).  They are both very nice guys and it was great to see them again.  A friend told me that Paul Shane lives close to them and they go see them play often ... sounds like an open invitation to me !!!

WEDDING: Vinson-Knight, The Variety Works, 4/7/13

BRIDE:  Lauren Vinson

Variety Works, Madison, GA

GROOM:  Rusty Knight
VENUE:  The Variety Works



It was one of the loveliest weather days in April.  Bright sun, blue skies with a few clouds, and warm temps.  We headed to The Variety Works in Madison.  We had been there once before (back in October).  Love this venue.  They were using my cake plateau so Clay and I had to stay in the area for a while in order to return after the cake cutting to grab the plateau and head home. 

I met Lauren (along w/ her mom Terry) on February 11th.  After some discussion, Lauren decided on the upward ruffle design ... the color would be a cream to pink ombre.  I love creating this design.  The hardest thing is figuring out the start and ending coloring ... making sure not to add too much color to mess up the continuous shading. I got to see Lauren when I went back to pick up the plateau ... she loved her cake.

Rusty's nickname is BEAR ... so we created the Rusty Bear groom cake for him.  It came out cute and I hope he was pleased with it.

WEDDING: Pulliam-Cubit, The Biltmore Ballrooms, 3/24/13

The Biltmore Ballrooms, Atlanta

BRIDE:  Joyce Pulliam
GROOM:  Travis Cubit
VENUE:  The Biltmore Ballrooms


One of the nicest couples I'll ever meet.  Fell in love with both, and had lots of sports fun with Travis ... he's a New York (Giants) fan, I am a Patriot and Falcon fan.  I even went so far as to send condolences to him when the Giants were taken out.

The wedding cake went through a couple of design changes, but when they sent me their "this is it" inspiration photo ... I loved it ... mixing round with hexagon layers ... a punch of color .... BAM !!!

Being a New England/Falcon fan, I had a hard time creating Travis' groom cake/cupcake design .. I just had to repeat many times ... it's only a cake .. it's only a cake !!!  LOL 

I wish Joyce and Travis many years of happiness.

BRIDE:  Ashlie Allen
GROOM:  Amado Roa
VENUE:  Georgian Club, Galleria



From the moment I saw the inspiration photo of Ashlie's cake, I started praying that she would pick me as her baker.  So beautiful, unique, delicate. Then, when I heard who was going to be her photographer .. I prayed even harder.

I met Ashlie back in November.  She knew exactly what she wanted and I hope I recreated her dream wedding cake.

WEDDING: Cooluris-Trites, Callanwolde Fine Arts Center, 3/9/13

Callanwolde Fine Arts Center

BRIDE:  Christine Cooluris
GROOM:  Kevin Trites
VENUE:  Callanwolde Fine Arts Center

After a week of strong winds and cold weather, the temperature started creeping toward the mid 60's just in time for Christine and Kevin's wedding.  Perfect timing.   I caught a glimpse of Christine and she looked lovely. 

The wedding cake could be the definition of simple but elegant.  A flat finish with puddles of varying size dragee at the base of each tier.

The cannoli were a surprise for the groom and will be eventually placed on a three tier glass stand and presented after the traditional cake cutting ceremony.
