Wedding Cakes

Here's a few of the wedding cakes we've done in May and June: 

"Simply FAB-ulous" 

Blue and Green Petal Cake

Galaxy Wedding Cake... a very interesting cake. We airbrushed buttercream for the cool galaxy effect. I would have liked to see the bottom tier more galaxy with possibly the earth or the moon peeking out of the bottom. 

We did a similar cake in buttercream a few years ago. Very simple and clean. 

A cute 2 tier mini wedding cake with light pink buttercream, chocolate fondant ribbon and chocolate fondant ball. 

Light blue fondant with flowers and vine piping. 

Gold painted piping gives this a very elegant look. 

Down the rabbit hole....

I am so late with this post! One of our brides, Samantha, wanted a really original wedding cake. It was one of the only things she really wanted, unique and different. She wanted an Alice in Wonderland Cake. Not just the Tilty, Mad Hatter feel of a cake, she wanted actual Alice in Wonderland. So.... She got this... 

It's a bit hard to tell exactly what's going on from the photo, we weren't able to get a really good one, but the bottom has the card soldiers, the Cheshire Cat is the 2nd layer, the Mad Hatter's hat is the 3rd and the teapot is the top layer. There was a door mouse on one corner and the half painted roses on another. 

She loved it, she said that she thought more people were taking pictures of the cake than of her! (I doubt it, she was a beautiful bride!) 

The reception was at the Renaissance Hotel  in downtown Providence. They have the most helpful staff there, we love going to that venue! 

Thank you Sam, it's been the most unusual and most fun wedding cake we've done! 

Update: Samantha sent us another picture showing some more of the details.... 

You can see the painted roses, the watch and the mouse... 

Off The Wall

A Michael Jackson Cake for Kristen....

This was done last month. We're all fans of MJ here, his music gets us working. I had hoped that he'd return to his music glory days, unfortunately that isn't to be.... 

A Wall... (ok a house, but a wall goes better with the title) for Jason's wedding. 

And in case the roof is on fire.... a fire truck! 

I thought I was busy, take 2...

Last week was crazy! That's why there haven't been any posts in a while... coming up are some really good cakes, I promise! I worked a 13, then a 14, then a 15 hour day... whew! We had a bunch of weddings then Zoobalee at the Roger Williams Park Zoo on Saturday. We made 20 sheet cakes for the event and ended up only going thru 5 of them. We had to recruit people to take home full sheet cakes! When told to make food for 2000... only make half that! But even though it cost us a lot in labor and supplies, it was tons of fun and for a good cause. Here are the display cakes we took with us... people really seemed to like them. 

I thought I was busy before...

It's Thursday... and there's still so much left to do. We have 17 cake orders this week, for us, that's a lot! There's Sarah, Tiffany and I baking Monday and Tuesday (and some Wed.), then Tiffany, Me and Keri to cut, crumb fill and frost Wednesday and Thursday. Then Keri, Tiffany, myself and Ashley to decorate on Friday... we have 14 cakes to decorate tomorrow! I'm betting we'll be decorating Sundays cakes on Saturday between tastings and deliveries. 

Wow! I'm happy, scared, a lot stress, happy again, and slightly overwhelmed! If this keeps up we'll be hiring, but I don't want to count my cakes before their baked, I'm going to see what happens next month when the wedding side calms down a bit. If we're still getting as many last minute orders as we currently are, then another baker will be added! 

Ok... it's 8:30 pm... time to go home and have some dinner. Back in 12!
