Rustic Modern:: Gem + Sherwin

To love, laughter and happily ever after.

It must be for Gem and Sherwin, I just witnessed them do a cheesy entrance dance as I write about their loveliness. Teehee!

And zoning in, they met in school and they wanted that element to be evident in their reception decor, thus the blackboards. We used a lot of yellow Lilliums that made the hall smell divine.

 

We did the middle tier of their cake like a blackboard and wrote their names on it with edible chalk aka pearl dust. Yay!

Casino Night:: Mariesse+Louis+Marnee

This family sure knows how to throw a party! This is in celebration for Mariesse and Louis' 27th and Marnee's celebration for passing the Nursing Licensure Exams. Wooot! 

They opted to celebrate it like Viva Las Vegas! A casino party. We did tall white feather centerpieces in glass with dangling crystals. Different sized dices, some with feathers, some with roses. The damask runners, and the ghosts! Yay! Their mom Gina, said, the ghosts were the pushing factor for this party. ha! ha! wink! wink!

We had playing cards as accents to the ghosts. I loved the outcome.

We did dollar cutouts to accent the flowers too! yay!

The vibe was sooo Vegas-ish. And I think it was not bad at all... to think that we just started to assemble
 everything by noon yesterday. We still finished it in time for the evening celebration.

Great clients with great taste? What more can I ask for!

Moroccan cake::Details

How I wish that when we set our sights in doing a cake, it's just a matter of waking up in the morning, going to the cake room and with a little magic, the cake is done. Don't we all wish our work is just that easy?

The Moroccan cake is one of the most tedious cake projects we've ever done. So many colors, so many details.


It has a lot of layering, symmetrical lacework, tiny details that completes the look. It's crazy! The cake is huge, we need to cover a lot of areas. And mind you, we get into arguments on what color comes next, what is best to complement it, without empowering the other layers. It just have to come out perfect!







Sorry for blowing my own horn, but can I say lovely details again? Everything painstakingly done.




As I saw the guests reaction, in awe, i felt like I popped a fast action pain reliever. Goodbye sore-ness! My friend, Janice, said she had goosebumps. Oh my... I didn't know it could elicit such response. When the bride and groom saw it... They were satisfied. You know, we get paid to do these things but the monetary aspect is nothing compared to the satisfaction we get from the couple or the guests. It's incomparable.

Again, whenever we make cakes and it does get a positive response, the next time we do another one... We get challenged, on how to outdo the previous we did. It's hard, mentally draining. But of course, I am so conceited, that we take the challenge head on! Bring it on! The only limit is our imagination.
