The weeks have been flying by without enough time to blog it seems! The cake has been eaten, the photographs have been purchased, but they have not been forgotten. It’s time to play catch up!
Joy and Greg were married behind their home on an incredibly hot May 15. If you had read my previous blog, you’ll know that weekend I fought rain, hail, and extreme heat in the name of cake. Theirs was not an exception! Joy fell in love with pictures she found on the Martha Stewart website that showcased three cakes of different shaped tiers instead of one.
Because it was an outdoor wedding, she had no choice but to include fondant and even then at 95 degrees, it plays havoc with cake designs in no time at all. I found some really stands at Hobby Lobby at 65% off and was thrilled to be able to use them for Joy and Greg.
Joy liked a Damask pattern and incorporated it in small doses throughout her decor. She wanted a deep regal purple color for the accent color and had a custom monogram created that I incorporated as an edible image on the cakes to surprise her.

Carly Rager planned the wedding and Danielle Lear of Turning Point Productions videotaped (is it still called tape?) the event. I have worked with the two of them several times lately and they are both very talented and professional. I have no doubt that Carly could plan a wedding from an unlimited budget to a shoestring budget and treat each with the utmost class and respect, leaving no details unturned from beginning to end. Carly recommended Sango Village Florist for the wedding and they did an amazing job!
Notice the Damask patterned table runner under this pretty bouquet!
Joy and Greg chose flavors of Red Velvet with cheesecake filling, lemon cake, and wedding white cake with vanilla cheesecake filling. There were 7 small cakes in all for a total of about 100 servings. It was a very unique and elegant display of yumminess.

A gorgeous display of cake!
Joy and Greg, may the blessings be so numerous, you’ll have to wipe them away as you wiped your brows on your special day!
