A Wedding Tea Party


This shabby chic wedding tea party was my first ever cake photoshoot. The wonderfully talented Lora, from Lora Grady Photography, asked me if I would make a cake for her wedding tea party-inspired photoshoot, and of course I said yes! After discovering that the colors were pink and yellow, I went to work. I knew exactly what I wanted to do.





We needed some sort of pastry at the tea party (because what is a tea party without sweets?!), so I decided to make little delicate cupcakes. Simple yet beautiful.
This cupcake was my favorite. 



And we can't forget about the star of the show...the cake!
I went with an ivory buttercream, the bottom layer being swirls, the next layer waves, and the top two layers as petals; all surrounding an almond cake with raspberry cream filling.



I love shrub roses, don't you? They're timeless.
I supplied my own flowers for my desserts, but the remaining gorgeous floral work was done by Lauren at Lauren Hickman Design.








The beautiful bride and groom...

Simple Textured Wedding Cake

This was my first wedding ever. EVER. I was super intimidated by the task, but the cake turned out wonderfully. 
The bride wanted something simple: textured ivory buttercream with layers of raspberry-filled vanilla cake, and fudge-filled chocolate cake. It tasted a little bit like heaven.








The happy couple :)
