Hope you have a fabulous Valentine's day!
Today I made some some mini red velvet cupcakes simply decorated with the iconic boxed "Sweetheart" candies. Luv Me, Too Cool, Kiss Me, You Rock!
Atlanta Wedding Book
A while back, wedding planners/stylists Gail Johnson and Hester Parks of Wedding Soiree contacted me and said they were working on a new book. Well, it finally came out this month and we got to contribute some sweets for it! Atlanta Weddings for the Modern, Stylish, and Chic Bride is filled with eye candy for a bride-to-be. You can purchase the book on Amazon or find it at a local bookstore.
We made the cake toppers for this adorably fun cake...the groom has a moustache! Also included are some moustache cookies we made to go along with the whole theme.
Get Married Features
Get Married Magazine featured our cakes in both their Winter and Spring issues!
The Spring issue included our white pleated cake for an article that Duff Goldman of Charm City Cakes wrote. He pairs different bride's personalities with their cake style. Our bride was Khloe, who is trendy, sassy, and fashion conscious.
In the Winter issue, our yellow flower cake is part of a beautiful aqua and yellow inspiration page.

Here is the blub that went along with it.
"We continued to be impressed by cake designers and their innovative sources of inspiration: This cake was inspired by Bottega Veneta's Spring 2010 ready-to-wear collection. We love its sharply angled top tier, bold, asymmetrical stripes, and unexpected color scheme. Cake by EatCakeBeMerry"
Happy New Year Everyone! We hope you are as excited for 2011 as we are.

2011 : Honeysuckle
2010 was the year for Turquoise but 2011 is the year for.....Honeysuckle! Pantone (the authority on color) announced honeysuckle to be the color for the upcoming year. It's such a beautiful hue and I'm excited to see this color being used in plenty of weddings and cake designs :) Check out Pantone to read more about the characteristics of Honeysuckle.
Leaves, leaves, leaves!
The Fall/Winter issue of The Knot Magazine features a cake of ours that is simply decorated with mod leaf outlines. Two tones of green are all you need for this contemporary and eco-designed cake.
The cake made it on the Editor's Letter page too :)
Brides: Haute and Spicy
Haute and Spicyyy. The November issue of Brides Magazine takes you through the story of a couple, Annika and Derek, who take an exotic two week trip to the other side of the world and come back with a handful of inspiration for their upcoming wedding. Their set-up is complete with Balinese linens, Thai street food on sticks, a white Indian sari,...and a cardamom-cinnamon cake with apricot filling, which we made! The flavors, colors, and patterns of this 5-tier cake are reminiscent of Moroccan patterns.
Grey and Lime
For some reason, I love working with variations of grey. When this brooklyn bride told me she was looking for a cake decorated in grey and lime green I was so thrilled! I covered this two tier cake with individually painted and scored fluted-round circles. Then I added a small tier in between that was wrapped in lime green to give it a pop of color. Finally, sitting on top was a bouquet of purple centered calla lilies. It's the first time I've seen such an amazing variation of this flower. The bride sent us this nice photo of the cake before it was cut and devoured :)
While I was setting up the cake and adding flowers to the top, the flower girl came up to me and asked me if she could have some :)
Bridal Guide
The current issue of Bridal Guide features our textured pinwheel cake in hues of white, cream, and ivory in a story called "Whiten Up."
"Textured gumpaste pinwheels add a playful yet posh punch to this three-tiered vanilla confection, filled with delicious mocha buttercream."
