USC Tommy Trojan Statue!

Tommy Trojan was made out of modeling chocolate and the base was a chocolate fudge carmel cake covered in modeling chocolate....... Yummy!
Michelle did a great job modeling him......... thanks Michelle!

The dining room is always so beautiful at Westlake Village Inn. The view from the back wall of windows is breathtaking with the view of the golf green and the lake filled with ducks and swans.

Even the view looking up at the ceiling is beautiful with all the crystal chandeliers.

Lot's of Bling makes for a beautiful reception!

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

Tropical Wedding at Hartley's!

Oh, this wedding cake was really fun to create! After redesigning it with the big palm tree and all the flowers, I knew the reception would be beautiful! It was so colorful and the couple are both so sweet!

Westlake Village Inn

This was a late morning wedding, which I don't get to many of.

The day was beautiful and was warming up nicely for the ceremony which was held outside by the lake.

This cake had a great marblizing effect that Jennifer did a great job creating!

Susan at Flowers By Susan did a great job with the flowers for both the cake and the reception. Everything looked beautiful at Westlake Village Inn when I dropped off the cake.

Oh my goodness Lori! That cake was amazing! I wanted to cry when we had to cut it because it was such a journey to get it all together! We could not have be happier with the final product! You were so fun to work with too! You devoted so much time and care to our vision of a Mario cake and that just meant the world to us!!! Lori, you are simply amazing! (as well as your staff and your supportive family!!!) *The b-day "manga- manga" plant for my Aunt was PERFECT too! Thank you so much!

Swarovski Crystal Topper by Toppers with Glitz!

Note from the Newlyweds:

In short, Lori V is a miracle worker. Two weeks before The Big Day, we were told that our venue's pastry chef was no longer going to be working for the country club. Luckily, they handed us over to Lori with good faith that she would be able to create what we wanted. Understandably, we were a bit nervous that Lori only had several days to hear our requests and make it all happen. But I have to say, she floored us! She created an absolute masterpiece. I was literally almost brought to tears when we walked into our reception hall the night of the wedding and saw our gorgeous cake. I highly recommend Lori to any bride and groom who want an absolutely perfectly gorgeous and delicious cake for their event. Thank you so much, Lori, for your professionalism, sense of humor, creativity, and talent. We are so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with you. - Thank you, Lori :-)

Note from the newlyweds:
Lori, The cake looked absolutely amazing, not to mention it was incredibly delicious! We got so many compliments on it. The polka-dots were adorable and matched our wedding theme perfectly! Thank you so much for everything, including recommending our awesome florist, reverend, and DJ. You all worked as an amazing team who made our wedding night truly magical. We can't thank you enough, and we hope to work with you in the future!
Love, Brianna and Dan

I named this cake "The Big Cheese". This reception really had a great theme going with the yellow and brown polka dots. From the table cards to the floral decorations. Jennifer from Belle of the Ball Floral Designs outdid herself once again.
