Birthday to a Great Person!

Hello,

Yesterday I was able to make a birthday cake for one of my family's best friends, Tavi 'PaPa' Garces, who turned 90, but keeps on living life to the fullest!

I can only hope that when I turn 90 I will have as many family and friends celebrating my life and still have the wits to enjoy it!

We are happy to announce that Etiquette of Chocolate has just recently been awarded the 2009 Bride's Choice Awards from WeddingWire, a website that gathers up reviews by brides of the vendors they have used. This award is for the top 3% of all vendors!

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!

Wedding Cake

Hello, 

This cake was created based upon, what is appearing to be the most popular design, "Eve."

The cake is a Yellow Butter Cake with Wild Strawberry, Champagne, and Chocolate Buttercream. 

While the exterior is a beautiful chic white, the interior was a glorious trio of colors. 

Cake featured in Jacksonville Luxury Living!

Hello, 

I am excited to announce that one of my original cake designs, "Christy" has been featured in the current issue of Jacksonville Luxury Living, as part of a concept shoot designed by Liza Chung and photographed by Agnes Lopez!

It's always a great honor and exciting to see one of your creations in print! Please check out the issue at your local bookstore!!

Best!
