A Coach Purse Birthday Cake for a classy lady.

A Coach Purse Birthday Cake for a classy lady.

I loved that C.J. Bostrom, owner of J. Major’s Bridal Boutique here in Charlotte, N.C. hired me to create and design a birthday cake for her boutique manager, Ashley.

After speaking with C.J. and learning about all of Ashley’s favorite things and her style and personality, I designed a green Coach handbag cake that I hear all the gals at J. Major’s loved!

And thanks to my neighbor (and friend) Drea Cunningham of Cunningham Photo Artists for snapping these pics before we delivered the cake!… read more

I had SO much fun last Friday night at the Neiman Marcus Fashion’s Night Out event at the Charlotte store!

I’ve been hard at work in the studio this week working on my display cake for the cake tasting I’ll be having at Neiman Marcus Charlotte’s Fashion’s Night Out event tonight. Based on the trends they will be hightlighting tonight — green, fur, pearls, pantsuits, pearls, lace, feathers, boots, structured handbags, capes, ponchos and vests and military — I’ve come up with something that I think is so cool! I can’t wait for everyone to see it.

I’ll be upstairs with lots of cake samples so make sure to come say hi!… read more

Pretty in Pink: Bergen’s Duke Mansion Bridal Soiree

Pretty in Pink: Bergen’s Duke Mansion Bridal Soiree

I loved working on the bridal shower cake for Bergen Parker for her Duke Mansion bridal luncheon. Parker’s theme was “pretty in pink” and she even asked guests to dress in shades of pink so I knew it had to be, well, PINK!

So, with inspiration from the cake I created for the Style Me Pretty Inspiration to Reality shoot a few months back, I went to work creating a pretty, pink, sparkly, feminine and girly cake!

Once the ribbon (made of rolled, … read more
