Camp Rock – Birthday Cake – Birthday Cupcakes – King City, CA

My FABOOSH hair stylist ordered another cake.  He’s the best uncle in the world.  His neice and nephew were having birthdays and they were celebrating them together.  One of them is SUPER into the Jonas Brothers and the other into Camp Rock.  

I made everything coordinating using boy and girl colors.  Their guitars are made out of gumpaste and covered with luster dust to make them sparkle.  Each of them has their own little record (which of course will go platinum :) ), saying Happy Birthday.   Marbled fondant rocks and fondant sticks line the bottom tier.  There is even a little fondant fire on the side for them to toast marshmallows and make smore’s.  ;)

The flavors in the cake were chocolate with banana icing and carrot with cream cheese icing.  With the cake were two dozen cupcakes, with the intial of each and in the same colors reflected on the cake.

Happy Birthday Serenity and Andrew!

Elegance with Eggplant and Sage – Wedding Cake – Monterey, CA

Kandia and Doug are the first destination wedding couple that I have had the pleasure of creating a wedding cake for.  They had their wedding at The Clement, which is the newest hotel on Cannery Row.  And it’s B-E-A-U-tiful.

Kandia wanted her cake to incorporate the colors eggplant and sage.  We ended up combining three different cakes she had sent into one beautiful creation.  To raise the cake to appear taller, we put clear vases filled with flower petals.  Kandia and Doug had wanted a unique cake topper to depict their little family, and loved the idea of having figurine’s made in their images.  White sugar beads were used as Kandia’s pearl necklace, wedding ring and earrings.  Their cake flavors included red velvet with a cheesecake center and thin layer of cream cheese icing and chocolate espresso cake with espresso mousse filling.  The cakes were covered with an ivory fondant and enhanced with ribbon and fondant embellishments.   The beading around the cake was done with white sugar beads.

It was such a pleasure getting to know this darling couple via long distance, and I’m so happy for them!

Congratulations Kandia and Doug!

Not only were they our first destination wedding couple, it was the first wedding with everyone on the “Wedding A-Team” involved!  Who is on the “A-Team” you ask?  

Make sure you follow them all on Facebook!  And of course…if you ever need an event…These ladies are some of the best in the biz.  ;)
