Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

Oh how I wish I could do my 16 birthday all over again, and have a fabulous cake like this! The only thing the aunt said when ordering the cake was that her niece loves pink!, so I took it and ran with it.

Pink fondant cake with light pink zebra stripes, pink glitter ribbon, pink 16 topper and pink gumpaste roses

Some words from the bride I received via email. This is the reason why I love to do what I do.

"We just wanted to thank you for creating such a beautiful cake for our wedding on Saturday. The cake tasted amazing, and we really appreciate the care and consideration that you put into making our wedding perfect."

Thanks again,
Ashley & William

Wedding Linens

I was noseing around on the net, and came across probably one of most wonderful wedding sites ever. Wedding Linens.com. It is an online linen rental company. You order the linens to rent, and return them after the event is over, and they clean them! Ingenious Idea! Now you are no longer confined to just the standard white tablecloth your reception hall provide. If you want to add a little pizazz to your sweetheart and cake table, or if your budget permits, to your guest tables as well, this seems like the way to do it. They also provide chair covers, chair ties/bands, napkins, and chair pads for chivari chairs. Here are some samples of thier most unique linens.

Seashell Cake

Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I posted last ( been a little busy with school and finals), but I'm on break with 3 weddings cakes to do! Over the weekend, I did a wedding cake for a bride getting married on Fripp Island at the Beach Club House. Of course, since it was on the beach, she wanted White Chocolate Seashells and a Watermelon ribbon to match the bridesmaids dresses. How Cute!

Words from the Mother of the Groom:

"Hi Courtney, the cake was beautiful ( and delicious!) Thank you so much! "

Sunrise Wedding

So this morning, I was up super early to deliver a cake to the Dunes House at Palmetto Dunes, for a sunrise wedding ceremony with a breakfast reception. I must admit, this is and probably will be the earliest I will ever deliver a cake. I thought a sunrise wedding was very unique and very cost saving idea. Having breakfast food stations instead of plated dinners or buffets is a great way to cut costs. Also, no alcohol or just mimosas are another way to saving money. Plus, what's more romantic than saying your wedding vows when the sun comes up! This wedding had me thinking about other cost saving ideas.

• Breakfast or Brunch Receptions
• Having the Ceremony and Reception in the same venue
• Limit your amount of guests to family and close friends
• Have your wedding on an off day, like Sunday or Friday instead of Saturday to save on rental fees
• Beer and Wine bar only
• Book your wedding during an off month, like December, January, February. Venues rates go up from March to May, and again usually from September to November.
• Provide your own alcohol if the venue allows it.
• Reuse Floral arrangements. Bridesmaids bouquets can also serve as head table decorations. Table Centerpieces can be used for the ceremony if placed on columns ( which can be easily rented)

   Things not to cut corners on:

• A good wedding planner, no matter how small your wedding is.
• A good wedding photographer. This is definately the item you need to splurge on. The day goes by so fast, and all you have is pictures.
• A good cake baker :) Preferably Brown Sugar Custom Cakes. Do not DIY your cake, you will regret it. Even if you cake is a simple white cake with flowers, babysitting a cake is not something you want to do on your wedding day. Leave that to the professionals :)

First Birthday Cake

I love how Brown Sugar Custom Cakes can not only be a part of your wedding day, but for other special occasions as well! Little Gracey's mom came to me to make a special cake for her daughter's first birthday. She is the only girl, so her mom wanted something very girlie and pink. I made a giant cupcake topped with sprinkles and a cherry, a smash cake, and some complimentary cake pops. To make it even more girlie, I even made the actual cake pink also!
