Pink & Black Wedding

August 19, 2012


This was the display at my cousin's wedding reception, which was held inside an old barn....completely redone and really cool barn....at The Hayloft in Rockwood, PA. The colors of the wedding were bright pink and black. I basically just wanted to incorporate all the colors through the use of variety and not have everything be so uniform and identical. The 130 cupcakes were vanilla and chocolate with buttercream icing while the over 100 cake pops were a mixture of double dark chocolate, white vanilla, and butter pecan. The top tier cake was used for the cutting of the cake by the bride and groom.

West Virginia Groom's Cake

August 18, 2012


For my cousin's wedding, she asked if I would make a groom's cake for her "to be husband" that they could display and serve at the rehearsal dinner. She pretty much gave me complete freedom to do what I wanted other than giving me his interests of WVU, fishing, and the guitar. I thought about doing any one of those ideas; however, at the last minute, I decided to combine them and came up with this all-emcompassing design. I found out at the wedding that Chris (the groom) was a bit more impacted by the crossed-out "fishin'" than I had intended so I needed to reminded him it was supposed to be funny....like haha...so hopefully he's okay now....guess boys will be boys after all =)
