October at a close.

Tis the last weekend in October and I am catching up on the blog, organizing cake photo files, filing paperwork....etc. Yep....feels like a season coming to a close. With that being said, I couldn't think of any other weddings to really close up the season with other than those from the past couple weekends! These couples really wanted to focus on the details for both their weddings as well as wedding cakes. From ornate sugar designs, to an unorthodox use of color (which was actually very visually stunning), these wedding cakes were so much fun!!

Congratulations to the wonderful October newlyweds!!! Here's wishing a lifetime of happiness ahead of you!












And One Pretty Tired Little Delivery Helper!

It's October....really???

I can't believe it's October! Two reasons really....first, this year is FLYING by!!!!! Secondly, it still feels like summer and I cannot wait for cool "fall" weather!

Summer weather isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you are hosting a destination wedding here on Hilton Head and your guests are coming from colder more dreary wintery places....then bring on the beach! In that case, I am happy my brides get to experience the summer extension!

For this blog, I've combined two weeks into one blog. The cakes share a general theme and I thought the designs would compliment each other nicely if I combined posts.

Enjoy my last 2 weeks work!

A Whirlwind Wedding Weekend!

Wow what a week! This time of year is really busy for weddings and this weekend was no exception. I had 11 cakes go out this week, most of which were adorned with custom handmade sugar pieces such as bows and flowers.

While I do typically limit the number of commitments I accept for a given date, for every cake I took on for this weekend, I was forced to turn 2 away. I don't blame the brides for choosing this weekend to get married. After all, it is in the 80's with mild humidity and beautiful breezes....not to mention I was born on this weekend 25 years ago...has to count for something right?

So with 11 cakes, 100 sugar flowers, my birthday and a Death by Chocolate fundraiser (which I will blog separately), it's no wonder I need to put my feet up....oh and I guess it doesn't help I am nearly 7 months pregnant....

Not complaining at all....just relishing in the fact that all that was going on and not one ounce of quality was compromised. It just meant I worked a little harder this week, that's all. I respect my clients and the fact they have put trust in me to be part of their most special day.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful wedding cakes!

Weekend Weddings- Many congratulations to all the newlywed couples!

Could not have asked for a better weather weekend! Friday saw heavy rains early in the day, only to have the skies clear and cast a beautiful glow on the freshly watered scenery. Saturday was incredible...mild temps and blue skies with white puffy clouds...who could ask for more?

Definitely not the couples who were married this weekend! Everything was perfect! The cakes were gorgeous, the wedding decor at every reception was just breathtaking and these couples were just a joy to work with!

Here are some pictures of their delicious wedding cakes:

Thanks for looking!

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!
