"Those cupcakes were fierce!"

"Fierce" is not usually a word one would use to describe a cupcake, but yesterday after the charming wedding of Molly and Walter, Molly's sister categorized my cupcakes as such and I was thrilled with the chosen adjective! Molly had opted for a single tier wedding cake and 165 cupcakes instead of the traditional multi-tier cake. She chose a chocolate cupcake with cream cheese buttercream, a key lime cupcake with lime curd buttercream, a vanilla vanilla, and a chocolate chocolate. Her wedding cake was a vanilla chantilly berry cake. The wedding was held at the Washington Golf and Country Club and it was a wedding fit for the bride, charming, sophisticated, a fairy-tale. My dear friend Laura St. Jean joined me for the madness.

Janna and Shawn

I was thrilled about getting to make this cake. Janna (the bride and dear friend)

found the design and I loved re-creating it for her and her husband Shawn.

Audrey and Nicholas

There are elegant cakes, breathtaking representations of a couple recreated in frostings and design, and then there is....Candy Mountain. (this was the groom's cake, wedding cake below)

Nicholas and Audrey are a beautiful fusion of two graphic designers. Nicholas (one I have tremendous love for because yes he is my stud brother!) has a style that is honest, raw, harsh, real, a style words weren't meant to describe, a style that can only be understood when seen (click on his name and you will see his genius). Audrey (the only woman good enough for my stud brother!) has a style that is reminiscent of something that you can't seem to put your foot on, something you saw somewhere and really loved loved it, something dreamt or imagined, something so perfectly precise and lovely you can't seem to take your eyes away (click her name to see her beauties). I took graphics from their invitation and replicated them in gray fondant on the cake. The 2nd and 4th tiers are wrapped in spun sugar.

Laura and Alexis

It was the perfect day for a garden wedding, the wedding of Laura and Alexis St. Jean. They are a charming couple. He was born and raised in france, she had lived there for 16 months and every bit of their story from that point on was wonderful. Their cake was one of my favorites, it was covered in fondant with a gold dust lace overlay.
