Chocolates of the World

Hello, 

This weekend I had the honor of partnering with Dennis Chan, chef/owner of Blue Bamboo Restaurant for the IVCJ's Chocolates of the  World event, held at the Marriot Sawgrass. It is a great organization that promotes the meeting of people from all over the world! Thank you for helping out Lucy, too!

Dennis and I created over 250 servings of our dessert: Trio of Cakes! The cake was a chocolate cake with three different styles of buttercream, Asian-inspired: Cherry Blossom, Tahitian Vanilla Bean, and Passion Fruit. 

Congrats go out to Mai Oui Gourmet for winning! I'll be back next year to give them run for their money, for sure!

Partnering Up...

Hello,

A few weeks ago, I had the great chance to work with Agnes Lopez, one of Jacksonville's premier photographers, who recently was named an Editor's Pick by The Knot AND was included in Style Me Pretty's Little Black Book, both great honors and testament to her professionalism and talents.

In addition, I recently, have had the chance to work with Liza Chung, Editor of Jacksonville Luxury Living Wedding and Event Style Magazine. She is a terrific event designer.

All three of us (and many other amazing Northeast Florida Talents) collaborated on a special project of Agnes for a concept shoot she did, inspired by a stunning piece of cinema.

My humble contribution was the above cake, which was inspired by the film.

I saw many of the photos that Agnes took at her shoot and cannot wait for the time she posts everything on her blog! It will blow people away!!

Launch Party Cake for Luxury Magazine

Hello,

I am excited to show a cake that was recently created for the launch party of Jacksonville Luxury Living's Wedding magazine at Ocean 60. I want to thank the amazingly talented Liza Chung.

But until then, here are my humble photos.

The flavors were Yellow Cake with Wild Strawberry and Champagne Buttercream.

The color of the cake was to match the logo of the magazine and the rose was sculpted completely out of hand, no special cutters! Nature doesn't do cookie cutters, neither do I!

Hello Everybody!

We did a great event this past week called Food Fight by Lutheran Social Services. We gave aways tons of free chocolate (Matcha Green Tea, Caribbean Cocktail with Rum, Dark Chocolate, Passion Fruit, and Coffee) and cake(Yellow Cake with Champagne or Raspberry Buttercream), got great feedback, made a few contacts with some great vendors!

Here are the pics!
