Caines-Pearl Wedding

What a joy and honor to get asked to make the wedding cakes for my neighbor.

I made their engagement cake and they liked that so much, that Lauren wanted to have me for her wedding and groom's cakes also.

Here are the ribbon roses after they were placed on the cake at the reception hall. These are made of pink fondant and then brushed with pink and super pearl petal dusts to give them dimension and shine. These were a lot of fun to make, each one has it's own shape and "personality". Here is the cake put together. This thing was heavy! I put two tiers together before I got to the hall and then finished assembly and cornelli lace piping there. Placing the edible pearls around the bottom of each tier was quite time consuming, but I think the overall effect was lovely.

Once it was all put together I needed help to move it onto the cake plateau in the center of the table.

This is the triple chocolate groom's cake. It is covered in yummy delicious chocolate buttercream and also has the cornelli lace pattern to coordinate with the bridal cake. This is a replica of their engagement cake.

It is a sweet and personal message on the cake. "Grace is a treasure, a Pearl of great price."
Lauren's middle name is Grace ~ and she is definitely a treasure.
The groom's last name is Pearl ~ and what a nice way to honor the value of their relationship and newly shared name.

I wish the Pearls a lifetime of love and happiness! Thanks for letting me share your special day with you.

The End for UGA?!?

Okay, okay, calm down everyone....I know you have been sitting on the edge of your computer chairs just waiting to find out what has happened to our "sweet" little sugar Dawg!

(I'm calling him ours, because I feel we all have come to love him! ;)

WATCH

OUT

PUPPY!

The Groom is a Florida Gator fan.

Suspense is over....

Ouch! That's gotta hurt....good thing he's made out of gumpaste ~ phew!

I can speak freely and make a cake like this because I am not from Georgia....but let me tell you, there have been several Georgia fans that were NOT happy to hear of this cake. Georgia fans are a serious group. There is even a restaurant called "The Dawg House" and they serve lots of sports bar type food.....bet you can guess what is on their menu that might be a BIT out of the ordinary.....alligator. You too can be a "Gator Hater" and eat your enemy at "The Dawg House".

So gentlemen...the gauntlet has been thrown down, a line has been drawn in the sweet nilla wafer sand....any Georgia fan Grooms out there looking for justice?

Give me a call, I'm sure we can work out a plan!

Dawg!

Okay, I'm sure you don't expect to see a picture of a "real" dog on my blog!

However I have a wedding and grooms cake for this weekend and the Groom has made a "special" request.

You know we are here in Savannah GEORGIA....mmmmkay.

University of Georgia's mascot is an English Bulldog named UGA........mmmmmkay.

This is actually UGA VII

(there are always successors in the mascot game)

The face only a mother could love.

Well that............... and maybe a few thousand or so Georgia fans.

I wanted to show you my "sugar" dawg before......before.....well, you'll see...

Cute face

Nice little puppy just minding his own business....if only he knew....the Groom isn't from Georgia!

Stay tuned.....dun dun dun....

Black and White Wedding

What a classy wedding color scheme ~ Black, White and a splash of Red ~ This three tiered cake is simply elegant.

Black silk ribbon around the base of each tier, a white on white scroll pattern above that and handmade red fondant roses.


The groom's cake is designed after the grooms truck.
A custom made Chevy "drag/low rider".

You might wonder what is coming out from under the back of truck.....?


Apparently when these trucks are racing they are so low to the ground that sparks shoot up where it meets the asphalt. I made the "sparks" from hard candy that I heated up and "pulled" to make fun shapes.

(They might look more like flames....but give me the benefit of the doubt please!)



My version of a new vanity plate for the groom!

JUST MARRIED!

(It even has the Georgia peach in the background!)

Congratulations Britt and Kev!
