Paisley Cake

Here is the latest wedding cake. It was alternating tiers of lemon and chocolate cake with raspberry filling, and a paisley design. I had a great time getting to know both the bride and her family throughout this process! Brian and I loaded up the cake and delivered it to Studio 51 in Forsyth, GA. It is an incredible venue. When it is not being used for parties, it is a stained glass gallery/ studio. If you are in the market for a venue in central Georgia, you can check them out here!

Tennessee Cake

This cake was for my Principal's son's 14th birthday. Obviously, he is a Tennessee fan!

A Charm(ing) Cake

I did this cake for a bridesmaid luncheon on Saturday. The bride's aunt, who was also hosting the party, sent me a copy of the luncheon invitation. I incorporated that design into the cake. The bride also wanted a charm cake, and so instead of letting the ribbons drape of the edge of the plate, I used them to make the sash for the dress. Then, I hid the charms under the fondant dress.

My poor neglected blog :(

 So, it has been a really long time since I have updated my blog. Life has gotten crazy, but I still have some projects to show! Above are some cookies I did to celebrate the birth of Carolina Grace Cordova. I am so excited for her parents and grandparents! I know it will be fun to watch this little one grow up.

Above is a birthday cake. It is strawberry cake, strawberry cream cheese icing with gumpaste daises.

Happy Houndstooth

I did the above cake for a friend's husband's birthday. I did the houndstooth design as an homage to the husband's favorite football coach, Bear Bryant.
It feels good to be posting again! things have been crazy, but good, the last few weeks! 

Matt and Kitty's wedding

This weekend, we traveled to St. Paul Minnesota for a wedding. This was my first trip up there, and we had a great time. St. Paul is a really beautiful city, and the wedding was just perfect. I also got to visit the Mall of America. I think overwhelming is the best way to describe that little experience. Here are some pictures!

Above is the church, House of Hope Presbyterian. It was beautiful inside and out, lots of stained glass, which I love. below is some of the stained glass. The church is on Summit Ave, which was lined with homes that rival the houses in Charleston (yes I said it!)

Next we went to the reception, which was just down the street in a beautiful old house.

One of the mantles with the bouquets.

In lieu of a wedding cake, they had dessert shooters. They were layers of genoise and mousse, and they were really yummy!

And there is the happy couple. Funny enough, the first time Kitty ever came to griffin with Matt was for our wedding!

This last shot was from the after party at Kitty's parents house. They had pizza, beer and games set up for all the wedding guests. I thought that lining the steps up to the house with the bridesmaid bouquets was a super cute way to decorate the front of the house.

Craft Night

Last night, mom and I did a craft night at church. We had a great time making these necklaces. I had pulled the idea out of a magazine a few years back, and I have always wanted to try making them. We are going to start doing this at First Pres every few months, I will post details for the next one!

Did I mention I made cupcakes?
