I did not go on hiatus from blogging...I've been busy having fun!

So...yeah....well.....it's been ugh well....say a month since I've last blogged. I promise though...I have not been kicking back eating bon bons in the sunset for the last month!

BUT I have indeed been having fun. If you would like to call your son, your precious little sweet innocent cutie pie son starting kindergarten fun...well then yes, I've been having fun. Add to that a trip to Chicago, a ton of client homework and well there are of course CAKES (tons of them might I add) and one could say I'm a little rusty with the updates. Truth is, with all the craziness that August had in store, I still managed to have a little fun. Thank goodness!!

But, alas, as most of you (the blog followers anyway) have been patiently waiting for...it's time for an update.

Okay so here goes....

CAKES! Tons of them- coming from every direction- they're everywhere and IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN. I think there's a break coming soon (I think). Not complaining...it means longevity and job security I know I know...so here are the CAKES!

Summer is for the beach bound right??

The last couple weeks at Sheri's Edible Designs have been busy creating shells and sand for some really great beach theme wedding cakes. We create a lot of these here in Hilton Head.

My clients appreciate the thought I put into their cakes to design beach theme wedding cakes that are not your ordinary predictable beach wedding cake. When a client comes into the studio in hopes of ordering a "beachy" cake, I like to ask, " Are you looking for Elegant Beach, Funky Beach, Simplistic Beach, Rustic Beach, Minimalistic Beach.......?" the list goes on.

Hilton Head Island hosts primarily destination weddings. It is safe to say 99% of my clients are destination. They come here for the beach. I have often joked with clients that if I have to put another sea shell on a wedding cake I'm going to scream! This is obviously a joke as I know the rest of my career will involve those lovely little white chocolate or sugar paste creations.

What I am doing however, is going out of the box a little and design beach theme wedding cakes in such a way that you don't end up with the same cake Susie had, or Catherine, or Jessica.....these cakes are uniquely the clients own.

So, without further hesitation....I present you with the beach cakes from last week (yes...all of them in the same week, I told you BEACH bound summer!) and a few others who didn't fancy the sea shell idea and went for flowers or whimsy instead.

Enjoy!



This week I also had the pleasure of creating some cakes that were anything but beach-




This cake was a joined birthday cake for Melanie's husband Jamie and best friend Jennifer. In addition to the black, white and red designs, there were also each person's 3 favorite things to personalize it a bit more. Jamie's favorite things are Clemson Football, Beer and his Boxer dogs. Jen's favorite things are Diamonds (which were edible on the cake), Moet white star champagne and her Ragdoll cats. Incorporating all these things was fun and I was surprised how easy it was to pull off!


Thanks for reading until the end! This was a long one!

Summer Summer!

July has been a great summer month in Hilton Head! Whether here on vacation or to tie the knot, the island is hustling and bustling with activity. Of course, while I've been busy creating cakes and meeting new clients, I've also had some time for fun. I realize in the summer more than ever, it's nice to get out to the beach, take a road trip, shop, dine and just enjoy all our area has to offer.

We've celebrated a wonderful and exciting first half of 2009. Now refreshed and relaxed, I am ready to take on the second half.

Enjoy photos of some of the cakes created this July.

Spring Season Wrap Up- Went Out with a Bang!!

The spring season was whew...phew....AWESOME!! Lots of cakes, tons of fabulous clients...many many many beautiful brides and of course lots of parties!!

Here is what Sheri's Edible Designs has been up to in the last 2 weeks of June...that's right 2 weeks! Enjoy
