Wedding Cakes

This summer I had two friends commission me to make one of the most special desserts of their lives...their wedding cakes. For Emily and Russel I made a pumpkin spice cake with caramel and cream cheese frosting. They had an artist make little wooden figurines of a deer and a donkey to be their cake toppers. I created a frosting meadow for them to stand side-by-side in springtime twitterpated bliss.

Here is a close-up of the top of the cake.

Here is the cake at the wedding venue...doesn't the light make it look pretty?

For Annabelle and Darrin's wedding, I did a hazelnut cake with chocolate ganache and Frangelico buttercream. They wanted a henna design, and actually that is my favorite design to do.

Darrin created the design for the top of the cake, I transfered it into frosting.

The side of the cake says "Eternal Dance of Joy" in Sanskrit.
