Romantic Wedding


I had the chance to do the desserts, and the very important cake(s), for this lovely couple's wedding. The bride sent me pictures of cakes she liked and the invitation. I made a quick sketch of 3 cakes, suggested to do a few more desserts to achieve the romantic look that was carried through the reception, and she approved! 







And now the cakes! Having done a few events at the Vibiana located downtown Los Angeles, I knew it was the perfect location to do something classic and grand. The bride wanted mostly white with blush pink and old gold accents. Each cake is quite simple but don't you think they make a beautiful trio?





Thanks for visiting!

Loving Instagram

Maybe I am a little late joining the fun, but I am so happy to finally have taken the time to play with Instagram! After my friend wrote about it last week, I said this is it! Finally I can do something fun with the pictures from my phone (because trust me, there are a lot!). And the result is magic... Such pretty images, that I would have never been able to share before. Some of my favorites from the past few weeks...

Sugar Flowers

For as long as I can remember, I have always been so impressed by sugar work, especially flowers. The complexity of the petals, made and assembled one at a time, is truly impressive to me. It was (and still is) a dream of mine to take a class to learn to make them. But with family life and running a small business, it simply never happened. 

I still decided to give sugar flowers a try after studying from books and looking at many pictures. So bare with me please as these flowers are very basic, but I am still trilled with the sophisticated touch they add to cakes and cupcakes. Let me know what you think!

The colors of this wedding were white and purple, and the clients wanted a simple, clean look,
with of course a big flower on the cake.


For a 35th birthday party, we were working with really bright colors throughout the dessert display.
I use white as a base for the cake to make all the flowers pop.


This is a cupcake tower, and the bride wanted those traditional Korean ducks as a topper,
and some hibiscus throughout.  The ducks give a fun touch to this ivory display.


Lastly, I made this cake complete with a full dessert table for a sweet 16th celebration. The cake, with the small white flowers and ruffles, is inspired by the dress of the birthday girl. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful wedding

I was so excited when Jenny, a long time client at the farmer's market, asked me to bake the cake and desserts for her wedding. She wanted everything simple to go with the rustic feel of the venue. Just how beautiful is the bride?

And here are the pictures I took of the dessert table. We used antique and natural wood pieces to display the many different treats. Enjoy!






The weekend's cakes

When I first started with the company, I would always take the time to take pictures of every project. Now that we are doing so much more, the cakes and cupcakes are not documented as much for many reasons: no time, someone else is setting up at the event, we have already made and posted pictures of a similar project, or I just forget to bring the camera with me! Well this past weekend, I made a point of taking a picture or two of every orders (I am missing a beautiful Rapunzel cupcake tower - oh no...). Most are taking quickly at the bakery with the stainless refrigerator as a background, but it is better than nothing, right? So this is what a Blue Cupcake weekend looks like!

Fairy tales cakes and cupcakes
The theme of this party, designed by Jennifer Currier of La Soiree Chic, is fairy tales. The tables all had a different theme, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Frog Prince and the Princess and the Pea. I always like the creativity that goes into a boy/girl theme, and this one was no exception!

This mermaid cake is one of my all time favorites. We first created the design for this event, and it's been a classic ever since.

And the mermaid sugar figurine - really like her!
We also made desserts for a wedding. The bride feel in love with our coconut cake and wanted to keep it simple, while having touches of Tiffany blue on the cake and other treats. I don't have pictures of the display, but here is the cake and macarons.

This other cake was made for a tea and cupcakes party. We also did the coordinating cupcakes with  tea cups, tea pots and mini desserts on stands.

 The ladies are having tea, of course!

This very simple cake was made for a baby shower, along with mini cupcakes. The lamb was inspired by a fun chair the baby will have in his room.

Another classic cake we do on a regular basis is the barn yard cake. No picture of the rest of the clan, but this cupcake and cake tower is always beautiful!

And last but not least...  The client wanted to surprise her uncle with a cake that would showcase his passion for gardening and cooking. I had so much fun making all the little details, it takes a long time but I really like doing that kind of detailed work!

Gardening and cooking cake
Tools, plants, and vegetables are on the gardening tier 

And in the kitchen there are more tools, pasta, vegetables from the garden, and cupcakes!

Voila! Now you know why I take the day off on Monday... Please tell me what you think, I love reading your comments!
