50th Golden Anniversaries

I feel blessed to be a part of such special celebrations.

Celebrations of 50 years of marriage seem so rare and amazing to me.  I am honored to be asked to create the cake!

Here are a few that I've done in the last few months.

This 4 tier anniversary cake is actually the only "wedding" cake they've had. 

 They did not have a cake at their wedding 50 years ago. 

Iced in buttercream with fondant and chocolate accents.  The bottom tier is a damask pattern, second tier is a quilted pattern with gold dragees, third tier has a design to match the invitation for the party and the top tier has a ribbed pattern with chocolate wishes for a "Happy Anniversary".

No specific design requested.  I wanted to try the drop string drape look with handpainted golden 50's.

Monograms are a must when it comes to anniversaries! 

The topper and monogram are made from chocolate and painted with gold lustre dust.

How special to share so many years with the one you love!

Congrats!

50th Wedding Anniversary

50 Year Anniversary is the Golden anniversary.

A lovely celebration held at Savannah Quarters Country Club, called for a delicious cake from Cake Believe!

Frosted in buttercream, and hand piped with buttercream scrolls. 

The monogram plaque is made from fondant and painted with gold luster dust.  The 50 on top is also made from fondant.

I was actually able to paint luster dust on the buttercream word once it crusted.....how fun is that?

Happy 50th!  And many, many more!

Heart Strings Anniversary

Caroline called for an anniversary cake.  Something small and simple. 

I asked what their favorite colors are, what fun things they do together.  She listed many fun and adventurous things, but said their favorite thing to do was cuddle on the couch together. 

So her favorite color is pink, his is blue. 

I made a pink and blue heart on a chocolate couch.

The sides are "heart strings".  They are intertwined just like the happy couples love for each other. 

I just bought a new tool that helped me create these modeling chocolate ribbons. 

(And I'm having fun with it!)

Hope you have a marvelous anniversary!

1st Anniversary!

If you've been following my blog for awhile, then you will remember Liz and Dave's wedding cake. 

It has been a year and I wanted to make a fresh topper for them to celebrate with. 

Happy Anniversary Liz and Dave! 

Wishing you MANY, MANY more!

60th Wedding Anniversary

60 YEARS!!!

What an amazing accomplishment! 

So the daughter of this lovely couple wanted to go with a smaller version of the original wedding cake.  She sent me several pictures and I studied that cake!

This is my modern version of the original cake.

Here is the couple 60 years ago cutting their first cake.

I hope you continue to celebrate your love and life together for many, many more years!

50th Wedding Anniversary

The 50th golden anniversary is one of the most celebrated wedding anniversaries.

There are many ways to commemorate such a momentous occasion. Spending half a century in love with one person is a wonderful statement about the gift of married life. It is a milestone and should be celebrated accordingly with a party to honor the couple.

I happen to know of such a loving family that put together a beautiful party for their parent's 50th. It was held at a private residence in rural Georgia on a lovely piece of land.

This is the main table inside. The spider mums were the same type of flower in the wedding in 1959.

They had many photos, the wedding album and even the wedding gown displayed for all the guests to view. It made me feel like I was looking back in time to see the wedding pictures and see the actual gown.

Here is the lovely couple sharing their first cake together.

When their daughter in law called me about a cake for 100 we talked about what style of cake and we decided to have a central cake that represented the 50 years of marriage and then we would have 2 satellite cakes that represented the bride and groom's interests.

This is the anniversary cake. A 2 tiered cake with white on ivory buttercream icing, with quilting squares and a cornelli lace design.

(The thing I love about cornelli lace ~it is one continuous stream of icing that never overlaps itself, to me this is very symbolic when celebrating married life)

There are also gold dragees, fondant flowers and a sugarpaste 50 painted with gold luster dust. It was placed at the center of the table to be cut ceremoniously by the lovely couple.

This cake represents the groom's love of the lake house.

This cake represents the brides' love of music.

And here is the final display of all 3 cakes at the venue.

(I hope that I might get a photo of the cake cutting to include in this story.)

Congratulations on 50 years! What a lovely example you give for others to follow.

35 Years of Service at Vopak

I guess when you work for the same company for 35 years...someone thinks you deserve a cool cake! My husband works for a company called Vopak and one of the gentlemen he works with is moving back to Houston and celebrating a big work anniversary milestone. This cake looks like one of the storage tanks at the facility here in Savannah. I created a pump and pipelines out of fondant with a few other embellishments.

This is a 3 layer - 10 inch round cake. It was so tall and heavy too!

Congratulations Lonnie!
