more 2008

These are some more cakes from 2008. Eventually, I will get these pics in chronologically, but for now...here they are in random order! The blue/yellow cake was supposed to have a flower topper and some on the tiers, but the florist didn't bring them...? For some reason, the cake is usually forgotten when it comes flower time...



The purple/white one was an interesting drop off. My daughter and I showed up to the locale and there was no one there and no doors appeared to be open. Eventually, we tried the front door hoping that there was no alarm set and thankfully, we didn't get met by a large dog, or security alarm and we just made our way to the garage where everything was set up (except the cake, of course!). No problem...just set it up, take pics and get the heck outta there! :-)

This cake was very unique in the sense that the middle tier has words written (in frosting, of course!) on the 8" middle tier. The bride sent me quotations and lovey dovey sayings that she and her groom liked and I piped them on the sides. This locale was Romantic River Gardens out in Tyee. It's a very popular place for weddings and receptions since it looks out on the Umpqua River. Very beautiful.

Some of my other cakes

Spice cake on both tiers...wedding was at Bride's families house out by the college--right on the river. Both bride and groom were in the military.

Oh, boy, it was hot the day of this wedding. When we showed up to deliver it, I think the guests wanted to jump into the pool to cool off!

Yum, chocolate covered strawberries. This cake was out at Mill Pond...very nice wedding site...very long drive! Bride brought me the picture to recreate this cake. Loved it!

MOB picked out style of cake. She had great style, too...the wedding was at her log home and it was very beautiful...at the reception, there was also a candy store table adorned with multi colored gigantic lollipops!

The pic in my profile is from one of Maggie's weddings. It was in 2008 and it was Summer & Mike's wedding out at Melrose Vinyard which is extremely beautiful. The cake fed 250 people (one of the cakes isn't shown, but it was a 14" round to look like the others...no sheet cakes!! I'm sure guests DO realize when they get a one layer sheet cake slice versus the main cake :-) Here's some of my other cakes from '08...

Wow, here we go! Finally! A place to post my cake pics. This oughta be good. A learning experience for sure. This first cake that I am posting is from August (2009) and it was Anne & Clif's wedding out at Romantic River Gardens (beautiful place!) Anne picked out the cake from a site called "pinkcakebox.com" and her theme was "Old Hollywood".
