A sweet treat ... as if we didnt have enough over the holidays.

Having a Baking and Pastry background I really take great care in helping choose the wedding cakes we display at our Weddings. I have loved working with all of the talented Bakers and Pastry Chefs in the Charleston Area, and I wanted to show some of their immense talent.

Wedding Cakes by Jim Smeal

This beautiful cake was made to serve 400 of a total of 600 guests at this early August wedding. Jim worked with the wonderful ladies at The Gown Boutique of Charleston (LOVE them!!!) to get the pictures he needed to re-create the dress pattern. When Mason saw it she was so impressed at the detail and how closely it matched her dress. She loved it and even joked that she saw details on the cake that she never even noticed on her dress. She said it made her love her dress even more now that she has noticed these details. What more could you ask for than to help a bride love her dress more on her wedding day?

For this truly southern inspired event the Mother of the Bride and a friend made each and every hand molded and painted white chocolate seashell out of the bride's favorite chocolate. Lauren create a smooth and stunning three tier cake with her own White Chocolate Mousse and fresh Raspberries. The combination was remarkable! The Bride and her mother were so happy to see it all come together so flawlessly.

Hayden worked with our bride Elizabeth's sister for her wedding four years ago. When Elizabeth and Sanjo got engaged, Elizabeth's dad (a big sweets fan) was insistent that Ashley Bakery do their fantastic Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Filling. It as a request that Hayden was happy to oblige. Choosing a simple ivory cake with bands of deep navy blue the cake was a subtle accent in a wedding with bright pink and deep blue abounding.

Lauren provided a beautiful soft white background for this bride who wanted her English Garden style flowers to really pop off of the smooth base. It was a stunning cake with all of the tiers double height so that even though it was only three tiers it was still a tall cake with presence in the cotton dock.

Elaine's Events Cakes of Distinction

For this wedding, Sara Cavallon with Something to Celebrate, Elaine and myself teamed up to re-create the bride's inspiration cake from a magazine image. With the delicate piping and soft flowers this cake was an understated element of elegance at this Middleton Place wedding.

We geared this entire wedding around a pattern we loved from our Cutout Lace Pendants that we hung in the tent. Elisabeth copied the lace pattern on the soft yellow background of certain tiers with alternating colors on the other tiers. It was such a beautiful interpretation of our theme, and created a wonderful centerpiece for the dining room at the William Aiken House.

Another beautifully detailed cake for this I'On Creek Club wedding. The bride and groom's initials were piped on in a deep green while the soft piping designs were kept in all white just for a slight accent. Just a few flowers really gave this grand cake a soft look.

For this 39th birthday celebration we chose to do a broken up look with the cakes, instead of one massive cake for the large group. Using a very literal interpretation of the orange color we had Lauren sugar frost oranges as very simple decor for each of the satellite cakes. The centerpiece of the table was a large cutout 39 to match wooden 39's that we had made and painted to accent the rest of the room. A great touch we added for this cake was to have our calligrapher hand write signs to mark each cake so that guests could get excited to taste all of the different flavors. This cake was a big hit.
