Wedding Cake

Hello, 

Last Sunday I was able to create a cake for a great couple who introduced me to a new flavor combination that I will now be featuring in my cakes for upcoming clients, Meyer Lemon Cake with Lavender Buttercream. 

The cake design took one of the colors of the bride's wedding, a lovely shade of purple, and signature orchids to cascade down the front of the cake. 

I really enjoyed the chance to work on the flavors with this couple!

Warm Regards,

Christening Cake

Hello, 

Over the weekend I was able to create a Christening cake for the daughter of one of my mother's customers. My charge was to incorporate pink flowers, this is what I can came up with. 

The cake is a Yellow Butter Cake with Strawberry Buttercream. 

Dressing a Cake....

Hello, 

This weekend I created a wedding cake and groom's cake for a lovely couple, Angelique and Matthew. They were married at the Cummer Museum, one of the truly great venues in Jacksonville. 

The bride wanted the cake to recreate her wedding dress with the addition of flowers atop the cake, edged in gold luster dust. The flavor of the cake was: Yellow Butter cake with champagne and strawberry buttercream. 

The groom's cake was inspired by the groom's trumpet play. And of course, the greatest trumpet player of all time was Satcho, aka Louis  Armstrong. I searched for a design that I thought matched the style of the event, which I found in this amazing sketch, which I replicated. 

Review on Southern Weddings Blog

Here is a review about the Etiquette of Chocolate Experience by Peter and Arjola, a truly charming and beautiful couple whose wedding I had the great honor of creating the cake for, that was posted on Southern Weddings blog. This is the goal that I am always seeking all of my clients to have.

We were planning our wedding from Orlando, so Jaycel was willing to meet with us anytime.
We met him for the first time on an early Sunday morning because that is all the time we had in Jacksonville. I was just shocked that any business would be willing to be open for us at that odd time. He put on a great tasting for us and truly was constantly conscious about our availability. We were captivated by this young, hard-working, and creative entrepreneur. We wanted a very simple cake, that's just who we are, and Jaycel really listened to what we wanted and sent us to appropriate websites to look to get ideas. He explained every step of the process and truly guided and listened to us as we made our decisions. We had our dream cake for our wedding! Not only was it beautifully done with refined artistry, but it was the best cake we have tasted. We have had so many of our guests and family members say that to us. We had the raspberry and champagne filling. We were not even planning on doing favors, and had even decided against them, but we were so happy with how we were treated and how budget conscious he was that we ended up ordering chocolates as favors and, also, we had guests say they were awesome!! I can tell you too, they are AWESOME!

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!
