Calamigos Ranch Wedding


Throughout all the years of creating Wedding Cakes,
my most creative cakes always seem to be delivered to
Calamigos Ranch


This one is no exception.
This one was designed around the bride and grooms hobbies, jobs, attire and love of fun!


The bottom tier was designed to look like the keys of a piano, the love of music and a reproduction of the grooms badge.


The middle tier has a Steam Punk look with the sugar gears and pocket watch complete with sugar chain


The second tier was designed to look like the brides corset


The top tier had the cutest topper that the bride and groom supplied.


Such a great display with a sweet Candy Buffet for all the guests to enjoy!

Note from the bride:
Thank you very much for the beautiful cake and candy buffet.
Everyone LOVED the cake and candy display.
All our guests were raving about it and some asked for your info so I passed it along.
Justin and I can not thank you enough for putting such a unique and beautiful cake together for us.
It was absolutely stunning and delicious!  What we loved the most was how detailed the cake was and how much you implemented both of our personalities into the cake.  
So cool! :)


Congratulations,
Christine & Justin!

Cookies for the Oscar's

One Thousand Doves!


Dove Soap, a sponsor of the Oscar's ordered 1,000 Dove cookies.  

With just 4 days to make the dough, bake the cookies, decorate the cookies and bag them all up a team of great ladies all got together to bag them up and drive them out to Hollywood.


Great Bagging!
Thanks ladies!




Fun to drive down to the middle of all the action on Hollywood Boulevard.


It takes so much manpower to put on a show like this, and this was just the outside of the theater.



All the boxes were dropped off at the staging area inside the El Capitan Theater, awaiting all the hungry show goers.


Fun to see them setting up for the Good Morning America show for the next day!


Doesn't matter how many times I have been to Hollywood, it's always fun to read the stars on the Walk of Fame!



Congratulations to all the Oscar nominees and winners!
