Snowcouple

Every wedding cake we create is unique to each couple. They come in many shapes and sizes, and can represent a wedding theme or colors, or the couple's personalities. With December here and winter quickly approaching, what better example to share than this winter themed wedding cake topped with a snow couple, hand made out of rolled chocolate, "representing" the bride and groom.

Behind the Scenes

Today we're putting a little twist on Weddings Wednesday. Usually we showcase one complete, beautiful wedding cake. But today we're giving you a little look behind the scenes. If you were to walk into our giant walk-in refrigerator on any given weekend, you might see a few of these racks filled with wedding cakes in varying stages of completion - from ready to be delivered, to frosted and waiting for it's turn to be decorated.

Whatever the stage each cake is in, rest assured that it is made fresh, from scratch just for you, and it will be beautiful and delicious upon arrival at your reception!
