I LOVED my cake! My wedding cake came about as I was drawing a basic 2D picture of a very basic looking cake...I added a few hearts & flowers to the sides and then proceeded to draw 2 little marzipan versions of myself & my husband for the top as we couldn't find any plastic one we liked. I handed the picture over to my fabulous cake decorator Shelly Treml and trusted her to turn my basic picture into the cake I saw in my head. The night before the wedding as we were finishing up the decorations at the reception venue Shelly's dad Tom, arrived with a large box filled with my cake. As I'm quite small in stature he teased me by holding it above my head and taking little sneak peeks in the box & saying things like "Ooops took a turn to quick" and "I don't think you want to see this". Finally he lowered the box...and tears streamed from my eyes! It was perfect! It was everything I dreamed & so much more, I can not thank Shelly enough for the amazing job she did. She even spent hours making the hair colour match mine! It stills brings tears to my eyes & we still have the top of cake with our little selves on top 10yrs after the event.
I thought about all that yesterday while at the wedding expo. I was lucky enough to be up at The Retreat at Chapel Hill Winery, it was beautiful! The location is amazing and they have such high standards for their events, amazing staff & the kitchen...WOW!
Because of their fabulous kitchen, all of the catering & cake displays were held up there as well as a couple of us photographers, florists, celebrants & the amazing Venue decorating & DJ masters - Venue Productions. The cakes looked divine & tasted fabulous and I as was surrounded by them I couldn't resist capturing these edible masterpieces.
