HenAndRoosterWedding


   A girlfriend of mine was engaged on the weekend of her 30th birthday in November 2015, she asked me to make their wedding cake and visions have been bouncing through my head since that cold run back in January.  While I was responsible for only one small aspect of this party to be she mastered the remaining 104 tasks with ease.  This was one of *the* most organized weddings I have ever attended and while all weddings are fun,  this was one to remember.  The theme was shabby chic loaded with fun games, music and dancing.  Oh yea and a photo booth!  If you asked me, I would say the cake was a small part to a very successful wedding.

Beautiful morning the day of!  (there was some question of rain earlier in the week)

The CAKE! Yes, this was 12+" of strawberry cheesecake, stacked.  I was told by the day of coordinator she didn't know one baker in the area who would attempt such a thing....hmmm WHY wouldn't you try? 





Great fun!

The vision for this cake creation has been in my thoughts for about three months.  In July we spent a week on the Oregon coast with our dear friends including their soon to be two year old adorable boy.  He was all about the fish.  Fish in the ocean, fish at the aquarium, fish in the souvenir shops, fishy, fishy fishy.  The cake was vanilla with my stand-by favorite buttercream frosting.  All of the embellishments were edible, that is if you like sugar candy!  Super fun cake to make and share.  The two year old's comment? "Whoa...."  "Fishy"

I wish when I had turned 21 I was as composed as the young young lady is!       In Boise on Spring Break from Cal Poly she came to celebrate with her elders.  Not only is she beautiful but she's smart!  One of three students a warded the Louis Stokes Alliances for Minority Participation (LSAMP) in STEM Undergraduate Research Scholarship for Summer 2018.    It was a true honor to create this cake for her to celebrate her coming of age party.   Happy Birthday Miranda!!

This cake was a challenge.  I typically make my cakes the day OF the party.  I know they will be fresh, the decorations will be "just so" and if they aren't I can tweak them at the party.....not the case with this one.  I would not be there AND it had to be done a day and a half before the event.....the pressure!  This is exactly why I don't sell cakes for money, though I heard this one was a success even disguised as a gluten free chocolate delight!
