I went to a wedding!

2011-05-02T11:26:00.007-04:00

Every blue moon I will actually attend a wedding AS A GUEST! I usually don't go but this one I wasnt' going to miss!!! When the beautiful bride Ebony White Robbinson was a little girl I met her, her little sister and Mother Eliane White Lane; the very first time I walked into a Kingdom hall in Savannah GA this as back in 1991 and they were so sweet from that day forward Elaine introduced me to Anita Dixon who because my bible study teacher and that began my life as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
When I was told Ebony was getting married I asked if I could do the cake as my gift. I've watched her grow up from a far and I am so proud of the woman she has become. Vernon is a wonderful young man and loves her with all his heart. How could I not be apart of that!
I was born and raised is Atlanta but I consider Savannah my adult home because thats where I moved out from grandmother's home and became a big girl by moving 300 miles away and striking out on my own in a town of complete strangers. Thats why Ebony and her family is so dear to me they didn't treat me like a stranger but a friend.

Mo 'Nique hosted a party at Londzell's Resturant

2010-09-13T17:16:00.012-04:00

A few weeks ago I did a cake for Monique, she was hosting a party for the ladies at My Sister's House Battered Womens shelter. It was not only to pleasure to meet Monique but a greater pleasure to meet the ladies of the shelter. I had a change to give back a little if you are looking for a place to assist thats a great place to start.

The resturant Londzell's had some awesome music with some of the great local talent Atlanta is known for. I didn't eat anything so I can't say how the food is.
I will say if you want to hear a great singer please check out Sheryl Boyd on Youtube.com you will be blown away!!!! Then find out where she is going to be next you will be pleased....
Even the DJ was awesome Chico Renfoe Jr. his info is on my vendor page. I'll blog back in a couple of days about the Pattycake Cake competition; I had a long day out in field service today so I'm a little tired.

Here is a photo of the cake!

Junebug came to Visit Me! Chef Rachel Nobles Comes to Atlanta!

2010-07-20T07:42:00.006-04:00

Let me tell you about cake people when we find a good cake buddy we love them like family! I have the pleasure of having cake buddies all over the USA! Chef Rachel Nobles and her husband Chris came to Atlanta from Michigan to visit me on thier vacation! YES coming to see me was part of the vacation! I felt so honored. I call her Junebug, look at her isn't she as cute as a Junebug?
Rachel has been my pastry teacher over the years... she has helped me to understand what makes cake tick. Rachel is a natural born teacher, she also owns a personal chef business in Michigan along with her busy teaching schedule.
She's taught me so much when it comes to cake, its more than the decorating. Many brides have come into the shop and said "I want a cake that not only looks good but tastes good" Rachel is one reason why I have achieved that.

Atlanta Wedding Cakes

2010-07-12T17:47:00.012-04:00

I did this cake for Jackie Allen's wedding on June 12th at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta GA. It went perfectly with her theme. She wanted something to catch the eye as her guests as they walked in the room!
I loved the cake so much I couldn't leave it alone I stayed to cut it. I have to thank the Sweet Southern Ladies for the design and the help (I keep a copy of there book at the shop when a bride is ready to step out of the box)

I had the pleasure of having Fonzworth Bentley and Faune Chambers to come out to my shop for a cake tasting and allowing me to do their wedding cake this weekend at the Four Seasons Hotel in Downtown Atlanta.
Each layer was a different flavor from red velvet to chocolate fudge cake! Cathy Bell the Cordinator told me they loved it and there wasn't any cake left! Faune did a little dance at the tasting table saying her cake was going to be good, and there was no way I was going to let her down, but that's my goal for every bride! I also had the pleasure of meeting Fonzworth parents they were a delight! Even after waiting a while for me to finish up a tasting with another couple.

I have to say this is by far my favorite grooms cake I've ever done! It was for Betina O'Neal's now husband their wedding was at the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Atlanta with an Old Hollywood theme! The top hat is also a cake tipped to the side...

This cake was done at July 4th for Constance and William Lambert at the Association Of Black Cardiologist Conference Center is Atlanta GA for their wedding. She got the design from Marina Sousa of Just cake California we just adding a little different spin to it adding crystals provided by Alicia with the 5th wick.... They wanted something everyone will be talking about and boy did they Get it!!!

I know! I know! I'll do better with the blogging

Class with Sweet Southern Ladies

I had the pleasure to drive up to KY and spend a few days with some wonderful cake decorators from all over the United States. We all signed up to take a class with Martha and Becky of Sweet Southern Ladies out of LA . We wanted to bring something new and fresh to our areas with the cake you see above with me and the girls. It was a challenge but fun making the cake. When it was over I had to stand back and say "WOW did I do that?" I was so proud of myself! I call her Pearlene after my dear sweet mother in law. I have to recreate the cake Sunday Nov. 1st for one of my brides so I'll let you know how it comes out!
