Vroom! Vroom! A Volvo Groom’s Cake

Vroom! Vroom! A Volvo Groom’s Cake

I can’t tell you how much I like creating unique and special groom’s cakes — the more creative and special the better. Working with the groom’s mother, the groom or the bride is always fun and I really like to collaborate with them on cake projects, especially for one of the most important events in their life.

One of the latest {Wow Factor Cakes} was a replica of the groom’s blue Volvo.

The cake took about a week total with baking, filling, icing and sculpting as well as adding all of the details — like … read more

Meet my family

Meet my family

A few weeks ago studio neighbor (and amazing photographer duo) Casey + Drea Cunningham of {Cunningham Photo Artists} took some new photos of my beautiful kids, Carleigh and Ethan.

Carleigh is 14, and miss socialite. She’s always text messaging someone (including me!), loves fashion, wants to model and her favorite movie (unfortunately) is “The Notebook”.

With all of the buzz, talk and hype around Apple’s latest product — the iPhone 4G — we thought it a good time to share some photos of a recent grooms cake we created (pictured above) that was designed by working closely with the groom’s mother.

Since he loved his iPhone (hopefully not more than his bride-to-be) his mother decided a cake modeled after this prized possession customized with “apps” specific to the groom would be a memorable and meaningful addition to his wedding celebration.

Each “app” on the cake’s front is representative … read more

WOW! Did that cake just talk?

WOW! Did that cake just talk?

Why yes, the cake we recently created for a CPI Security did talk — just like the commercials you see/hear each day on television and the radio.

The cake’s front door would say “CPI Security: Identify Yourself” when opened. Yep, opened. Talk about a WOW factor, a cake with moving parts!… read more

WOW! That’s a pretty cake

WOW! That’s a pretty cake

A few months ago we were asked to participate in a Style Me Pretty: Inspiration to Reality shoot with some of Charlotte’s most fabulous wedding vendors and WOW weren’t we were thrilled!

Essentially the principle behind these shoots is a challenge to bring each inspiration board to life and create a real (but faux) wedding. And the inspiration board we were given (pictured above) was filled with girly, feminine pink, soft blues and lots of ruffles and sparkle! We wanted to create a cake that conveyed that look but also made readers say, WOW!

And, well, we just think … read more
