Beautiful Violet Themed Wedding at Spanish Hills Country Club

Spanish Hills Country Club

August 11, 2012

Beautiful violet themed wedding for a beautiful couple!

Loved this family!  It is always such a pleasure to create a wedding cake when the family is so friendly and appreciative.  Thank you to the entire Farrah family!

Created this cake around one of my favorite crystal cake stand and spacer. 

To keep with the crystal theme, some tiers were covered in edible crystal flakes and edible silver balls. 

Note from the bride:
Hi Lori!
I just wanted to say THANK YOUUUUUU SOOOOOO much for my amazing wedding cake...OMG it was gorgeous...I still can't get over it! The candy buffet was also so sweet and adorable. I loved the guest cards with the rock candy (cutest idea, which went perfectly with the theme of the wedding). You were a HUGE part in why my wedding was so special and Jake and I are so grateful for all the work you put in. So happy I made it to your blog!! Can't wait to get MANY MANY more cakes from you in the future! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! 
Thank you,
Danielle and Jake

Even the grooms men enjoyed relaxing and watching as we set up the cake.

The florist did an amazing job on all the floral decorations. 

The ceremony site at Spanish Hills Country Club was beautiful.

The tables were decked out with more crystals on the menu cards and napkin rings.

 

 

 

The candy buffet supplied by Pastries By Vreeke in shades of violet, pink and blue to coordinate with the colors of the reception.

The escort cards were tied with Rock Candy Swizzle Sticks for each guest.

Congratulations to the newlyweds,

Danielle & Jake!



Calamigos Miami Dolphins Fan!

Yet another Calamigos Wedding.  Love that place!!!

This was a fun couple. They came up with a bunch of wording that had to do with their lives together and we piped it all onto the cake. Three hours of piping gets to your wrist after a while, but the final product was worth it.

The groom is a big Miami Dolphins fan so the bride surprised him with a Helmet grooms cake.

Love the remodeled main dining room at Calamigos.

It's so nice and open and no more dark wood walls behind the cake :)



Sparkly crystal topper!

The floral centerpieces really brightened up the tables.  Love all the song titles at each table

Homemade bottled cashews and hot sauce for the guests.

Love how each couple personalize their wedding.



Congrats to the newlyweds!

Liz & Dave

Special thanks go out to Amanda for a delivery well done!

I had the pleasure of creating Nathan & Stephanie's wedding cake.  Nathan was so great to work with and was always popping in to check out how the design of the cake was going, checking on the sugar bows, dropping off the custom topper. 

He even dropped by on the way to Las Vegas for his bachelor party with all his buddies!

Cake complete with Sugar Bows and custom Stenciling

Vintage Wedding Cakes

Westlake Village Inn Vintage Wedding

April 2, 2011

I LOVE when I get a bride and groom who are so in love and have such a sweet story to go along with it. 

This couple met in elementary school and were separated when the grooms family moved to another state.  The bride waited for over 20 years until they found each other again on Facebook.  They started dating and again they knew they were meant to be together. 

I was honored to be able to create their wedding cake for their beautiful wedding reception held at Westlake Village Inn.

Note from the bride & groom:

Dear Lori,  You are not only a wonderful woman but also make incredible cake!!! We have gotten so many compliments on our wedding cake! It was the most beautiful art I have ever seen and it tasted amazing!! The way you decorated it was so beautiful it was criminal to cut into...but I am so glad we did! That was best cake I have ever tasted in my life!!! It was moist and the flavors were just incredible. I can never thank you enough!! You made our day so very special! We are now you biggest fans!!!      Lots of love,  Judy & Dan

Another great story of their 1950's vintage cake topper which was originally used on the brides mother's cake and has been used on every wedding cake in the family since than.

It's always so fun to see the flower girls and bridesmaids, they are always so cute :)

It was the brides father's birthday on the day of the wedding, so we made him a special Syracuse University Orange cake.  I wish I was able to see his expression when he saw it.

Happy Birthday David!

Congratulations Dan & Judy!

Rose Cake & Mario Cake at Sherwood Country Club

Yet another great wedding at Sherwood Country Club. I love it when I get to create two amazing cakes for one wedding. Not only does the bride get to pick the exact design to complement the reception, but the groom gets to create something fun also!

This cake is covered in sugar rose petals! This picture doesn't show off the stand, but it is held up with four tall glass vases that are filled with water and orchids and lit from the bottom. Belle of the Ball Designs did another outstanding job with the display and flowers.

Toppers with Glitz always creates the most beautiful toppers for my Brides. I am so lucky to be able to refer them to Sari of Toppers with Glitz.

Note from the bride:
"Our wedding cake and grooms cake were absolute masterpieces. The details on each cake were amazing and we can't begin to tell you how many compliments we've heard all week about how great the cakes tasted. Lori, we will definitely be working with you again and again. Thank you for all your hard work. Jenn"

This couple loves to play Mario Brothers!

We created a fun cake with all the Mario characters, complete with bride and groom Piranha

Mario, Yoshi & Birdo

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers!

Two floral cakes....... Two different looks!

Westlake Village Inn

The bride wanted elegant, the groom wanted fun!

We designed a cake to fit both both styles.

This cake was set topsy-turvy with fresh flowers in between the tiers.

Message from the bride:

"our wedding cake was absolutely amazing! so beautiful and tasted wonderful."

The topper was made of sugar to represent the bride and groom.

Note from the Mother of the Bride
Thank you so much for the beautiful wedding cake for Jamie and Branden's wedding. Everyone loved the sugar-made bride and groom, and I heard so many people rave about their favorite piece.... was it the marble cake?... the chocolate cake?... the filling?... everyone loved all of it; it was really hard to go wrong!..........Alice

Calamigos Ranch - The Pavilion!

Note from the bride:
Our cake was everything we wanted: simple and elegant. It was so beautiful, and the strawberry shortcake and red velvet cake were insanely delicious! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect cake.
Thanks for everything! The cake was seriously a big highlight for us. Stephanie

Another beautiful floral arrangement & flowers by Floral Fields!

Yet Another Beautiful Wedding at Sherwood Country Club

Sherwood Country Club

This was a modern looking cake with clear acrylic blocks separating the tiers and an acrylic cake stand which allowed you to look under the cake at all the hydrangeas. Hydrangea bunches were placed between the tiers in small bunches but still allowing you to view thru the cake. The cake design was created to tie in with the decorations at the reception. The chairs were clear acrylic and the floral displays were all set in square vases.

Note from the bride:

"Lori Vreeke was my lifesaver. We had to change who was making our cake at the last minute and we were referred to Pastries By Vreeke. Lori's great ideas and enthusiasm to make my modern cake made my mom and I super excited to see the finished product. I absolutely loved the clear blocks separating our tiers it was like nothing I had ever seen before at any other weddings. My husband and I have heard nothing but raves from people who have seen pictures of it. We can't thank you enough Lori, you're the best!" -Chelsea
