I’m super excited to announce that this Sunday, July 25th, 2010 ‘An Engagement Bridal Seminar & Showcase will be happening in Richmond, VA! This event is hosted by the owner of Elations Designs & Wedding Overdose, Pauline. Networking is definitely key in this business so please spread the word about this great event and you may also register by clicking here.
**Please note** It is not my intention to offend anyone who chooses to view this picture, and I apologize in advance if you are. I definitely do have my limits on what projects I’ll do as a cake designer but I didn’t think this was too far left field.
A bride contacted me back in April about doing a cake showing a deer hanging from a gambrel for a groom’s cake. Well the twist was that individuals who hunt, most often dress the deer “hanging” from a tree.
This cake was definitely a little bit challenging, but not impossible and I was very happy with how it came together — so were the clients!
Flavor of the cake? Red Velvet of course!
Congrats to the Jessica & John!
Update:
Client called thanking us for their cake! She said it was “it was the best cake she’s ever had and everyone else agreed!”
Comments like that really make my day and makes me love me job even more!
I’ve been wanting to blog about this wonderful organization for some time now, and I’m finally getting a chance to do it! I can’t remember where I initially heard about this, but I’m doing my part to spread the word! I reached out to the founder of Icing Smiles, Tracy Quisenberry, to learn how to get started. Icing Smiles is a non-profit organization that provides custom celebration cakes to children who are affected by a critical illness. Chapters of this organization are opening up in several areas so please visit their website at Icing Smiles to learn how to help in your area and donate!
We are busily working on creating partnerships with non-profit organizations in the Richmond Metro area that support children with illnesses. In addition, we will be holding a bake sale and donating all proceeds to this amazing cause. We will also be providing cakes to children to make each and every event they have a special one!
This is just a quick update to state that we will not be taking any additional orders beginning August 1 – October 31. Starting November 1, you may begin to place holiday orders.
It’s been awhile since my last post but I have been unbelievably busy! We are finally beginning to roll out our new couture line of highly designed cookies, cakes and cupcakes. Here is a sample of some cupcakes:
Due to the detailed nature of these designs and the fact that they are customized to each client, we cannot list prices. Please contact us directly with your project ideas to get a quote specific to your event.
We have some exciting ventures and partnerships in the works! Details to come soon!
I am excited to announce my first national magazine listing in the Summer 2010 edition of Get Married magazine!

The Get Married team has really rocked the magazine since its launch last year and I am looking forward to a continued relationship with them!
