Best in Snow Feature in CeciStyle Magazine!

I'm still dreaming about this wintery wedding at the Loeb Central Park Boathouse. It was magical, Central Park was blanketed with a layer of fluffy white snow and all was quiet and calm as we slowly drove into the Park.  Carter and Brad couldn't have planned a more lovely evening in a beautiful, iconic setting and we are thrilled to have it featured in this edition of CeciStyle Magazine.  The invitation suite that Ceci New York created was absolutely perfect for the occasion.  Our Silver Dragee cake design created the perfect sparkly centerpiece to accompany all the twinkle lights around the venue. The one good thing about snow this time of year, it makes for a lovely backdrop for a wedding!

Style Me Pretty: A July Wedding at Gramercy Park Hotel

We always love seeing the beautiful weddings our cakes have been a part of and this one is no exception.  Rachel Cho Floral Design did an amazing job with placing fresh flowers on our Pearl Dot cake design and the table arrangements were just lovely.  You can see the full gallery of the wedding at Style Me Pretty link.  The Photographer for the wedding and these beautiful images above is Kelly Kollar, the adorable hand illustrated table cards are from Paperfinger and the gorgeous venue is penthouse at The Gramercy Park Hotel.

Customizing A Simple Cake

It's always fun to work with clients to take A Simple Cake design and add their own colors and ideas to make it their own.  Whether it's making the gumpaste flowers a color to match the bride's bouquet or combining patterns and design combinations to come up with something new . . . the possibilities are endless. We thought we might post some pictures of recent cakes showing some different combinations.  In regards to pricing for these custom options, there's no hard or fast rule, depending on what you want to do it may be a flat fee or a cost per serving.  If you have something in mind give us a call and we can certainly work with you.

Happy Birthday Liza Minnelli!!

Liza Minnelli celebrated her 67th birthday this past week with one of our fabulous cakes. Liza, along with her close friend, Alan Cumming did a one off performance in celebration of her big day.

Surrounded by close friends it was said that the Oscar winning star looked positively thrilled as she gazed at the culinary masterpiece. She was apparently shocked and delighted by the surprise, and after blowing out the candles threw her hands up in celebration.

Happy Birthday dear Liza!

Wedding Cakes & A Music Video

Gracious! It's hard to believe our last post was in November . . . between the wedding, honeymoon, the holidays, wonderful client meetings and working on new cake designs it's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle and forget to post.  New Year's resolution: be better at posting more often.  To start off this resolution, we have something very fun to share, it's a music video we shot in the kitchen last year when we had a break in our baking schedule. Our thanks to the film crew that made the whole behind the scenes process of making a wedding cake look so lovely and easy.  The band behind this gem of a tune is Farewell Milwaukee. This is chapter 2 of 3 in a series of vignettes telling the stories of real people as characters to reveal their everyday passion.  Enjoy! xoxo, Lauren
