Wedding Cake

Apart from doing the two 1st birthday cakes, I also had a wedding cake order.
Here's a picture of the finished product. It was a 3 tier cake (6",8",10") and was all carrot cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. I piped interlocked hearts and little dots all over and then decorated on site with fresh flowers.  This was the first cake I had to deliver long distance. I delivered it to Valley Center and let me tell you, I was sweating the whole way! It took me about one hour total to get there and it was in a rural area in mountains with a single lane all the way up. I keep having to pull over to let cars pass me cause I was too afraid to go faster. I thought the cake might tip over. Luckily, the cake made it all right and I got there right before I had a nervous breakdown, lol. So what do you think? Good job or not?

Morgan Wedding Cupcake Tower

I like to think that cupcake towers are my 'thing'. It's super popular but I don't see alot of people in my area doing it. They're convenient because no cake cutting is involved but they're still really pretty and dramatic looking. Almost all the weddings I've done have been cupcake towers. This one right here is my favorite.

 I did this beautiful cupcake wedding tower for the sweetest client I have ever had! It was a pleasure to work with her. I've been pretty lucky and had some amazing clients but this girl topped 'em all! She emailed me for a consultation and told me she was looking for a cupcake tower like a previous one I had done and she wanted navy and silver as her colors but definetely wanted a silver pearl look. At first I didnt know what I could do with those colors. Anyhow, I met with her and her fiance and they were the most polite people I had I ever met. They loved the tasting and booked right there and then! Yay! A week later I got a pretty pink envelope in the mail, it was a thank you card! That seriously made my day right there.

Here's a picture of the tasting. We did white cupcakes with cream cheese filling, yellow cupcakes with cream cheese filling, and marble cupcakes with chocolate mousse all topped with vanilla buttercream. They chose the white with cream cheese filling.

This is what I came up with. You can't really tell by the picture but all the cupcakes have a navy flower with a silver ball in the middle to match the cake on top. Here's a side view picture.
All in all, best client ever, she even brought the tower back before it was due :) and gave me a big ol' hug and thanked me for my service. Jennifer, thank you for being so sweet! I would love to work with you guys again!!
