making your special day even sweeter
An introduction
Making goodies is something I've enjoyed doing for a long time, and people have often said I should go into business. Well, I decided I might make a go for it, but this is by no means a "professional" endeavor, and I prefer to stay local.
I will most likely make changes to this site here and there as time goes on, so please contact me if you have any questions or check out the updates.
Enjoy your visit!
sneak peaks:
Themes
My own wedding had a seaside theme, so colors consisted of a wide range of blue, various seashell elements (real shells and chocolate shells), rope netting, chocolate and gummi fish, and other beachy-items.
Chocolate shells, edible pearls, and rope fondant are en example of popular cake decorations for such a theme. Here's and example.

Decide how many people will attend your reception.
Do you have a theme and specific color combination?

Fresh Flowers
Frosting flowers taste good, but fresh flowers really make a cake.
Not only do they look gorgeous cascading down the side of a cake or placed on several tiers, but they also set the stage around the base on a cake table.
Consider in-season flowers that will match your wedding colors.
