All things vintage- what a weekend!

I had an AMAZING weekend! Perhaps that's because I had the opportunity to create cakes for some pretty AMAZING people!

2 of those amazing people are Brandy and Michael! I absolutely loved working with these two! Brandy has a very classic, clean and vintage-inspired wedding day style. From the ceremony which took place in Forsyth Park in Savannah, GA, to her reception at The Olde Pink House, she didn't overlook a single detail. Brandy wanted a cake that captured what she had envisioned her wedding to be. Beautiful- Grand- Soft- Feminine-Stylish- Possessing vintage flair. Together, Brandy and I came up with the perfect design/color combo for her big day!




Michael, Brandy's husband, wanted a grooms cake that would surely stand out at the reception, but not steal the show! These two LOVE to travel and have been many places together! In fact, they are back-packing through Europe as I write this blog! Michael wanted a grooms cake that captured the rustic feeling of a tattered old-world map. Think Indiana Jones meets Harry Potter. His grooms cake was a square shaped cake made to resemble a mahogany box with a solid sugar map on top of the box. I sure hope he loved it as much as I loved creating it!




Lastly, Rebecca celebrated her 40th Birthday this past Saturday with a birthday bash at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio located inside the Seaquins Ballroom. This cake is fit for a ballroom dancing queen!

Birthday Season!

This time of year is a great one! In addition to it being the official start of the 2011 wedding season, it is also the season of birthdays! I love creating birthday cakes, as it is not the majority of what I do. I'm usually creating many beautiful wedding cakes weekly, so being able to step out-of-the-box a little and into more whimsical and fun designs is always a treat!

Here are the latest cakes!

Baby Barron turned 1 and celebrated with this Baby Elmo themed cake!

I have had the opportunity to create a birthday cake for my client Heather's son Nathaniel every year since he's been born! This year was a train themed birthday cake!


My gorgeous cousin Kylie celebrated her 10th birthday with this whimsical 3 tier cake!

Russell's friends wanted a Marlin that was as large as Russell's personality! Happy 40th Russell!


My cousin Scott turned 19! He celebrated with a skateboard made of cake!


My cousin Jack turned 21! What better than a HUGE beer mug?!

Jack wanted a sip, but instead got a face full of yummy butter cream!


Groom's cake for our wonderful Mike Guzman! He is a technician with Superior Heating and Air. This is an American Standard Heat Pump- in his honor.

Kerry and Mike were married this past weekend. Their cake was as beautiful as the two of them are together!

Time flies when you're---um, busy

Dear loyal blog followers,

Our apologies if it seems we've been in a bit of hibernation lately. I wish that were the case!

With so much happening the last few months, it has been difficult to keep you up to date. Because one great event has happened after another, I couldn't decide when the right time to fill you in would be. So- how about now??

Since you heard from me last, I've competed in the Taste of the Season, and took the prize for my towering holiday themed creation. We recently received 2011 Bride's Choice Award from WeddingWire.com, Our episode of TLC's 'Fabulous Cakes' has aired (which caused the emails and phone calls to spiral into uncharted territory), we've held a fantastic preview party for the show, local news stations have visited, the local newspaper wrote a fantastic article about us, we've created a HUGE Oscar Statue cake for Hospice Care of the LowCountry's "Hospice and Hearts" event, we've celebrated the opening of the Palmetto Running Company with a life-like running shoe cake, have been featured in Hilton Head Monthly's wonderful article on Grooms Cakes, have participated in a "Five Minutes With...." for Bragg Media, and we've even been a guest on WHHI's 'Lowcountry View with Earl Yates', which I hope most of you can catch at 10:30pm all this week.

WOWZA!

In addition to the buzz and media attention, we have also been creating amazing cakes!

I will be posting images in a series of blogs coming later this week. Here are a few teaser pics of some of the most recent events and photos.

Thanks for looking!!

It's a Wrap- goodbye October 2010- you've been good to me

Well well well. Ahhhh. Do you hear that? That's me- breathing in the biggest sigh imaginable. October has been insane! If it wasn't busy enough on the books, I also managed to fit in the time to film a tv show. Yes. That's right. I will be making my television debut this winter for a show we filmed for a major television network. At this time, I'm not at liberty to say which show or what network, but you better believe once I can talk about it, I will!

Many many cakes were created this month. I've posted some of them in an earlier post. I am going to share with you the rest of the cakes from this month, with the exception of the one we created for TV. That beast will have to wait until the show airs.

As you can imagine, I'm very tired. I'm also very blessed. These last 3 years have been some of the most amazing (and trying) in my life. I was looking at my accounts this month and realized that I'm only 3 cakes away from 1000. Yes...1000 cakes in 3 years! I couldn't believe it either. I've pulled some hours, some long nights and much time away from home. It's been good, but it's going to get even greater! I know that there are big things for Sheri's Edible Designs in the future. Thank you everyone for being a part of this ride!

Now onto the cakes!
