Damask Cake!!!!!!!

Wow the last wedding cake of the year! This year have been pretty busy for Brown Sugar Custom Cakes. Stay tune for my recap of my favorite cakes from this year!

I've been waiting for about a year to do this cake! This wedding belongs to my cousin and bride Samantha, who got married at the beautiful Traditions on Parris Island. Her theme was the Damask print, so I incorporated that into the cake.


4 tier cake with Damask Print stencil in black and emerald green ribbon

Look the Cake matches the Table Runner!
Also, featuring my new rental, the silver beaded cake stand, Very Modern.


More decor




Again stay tuned for my recap of the favorite cakes of the year. I wonder what next year will bring!

My first bride was the winner of my free groom's cake raffle back in February at the second annual Beaufort Bridal Show. She got married on Nov 6th at the Peanut Warehouse in Conway, SC. I went up on friday to deliver both the wedding and groom's cake.

The groom requested a Michigan Football helmet


The bride wanted a ruffled cake with brown flowers




The next bride got married at Richfield Plantation in Yemassee, SC

From New York to South Carolina


Hello Everyone!   So it is officially fall, and crisp, cool weather, fallen leaves are on thier way! Yesterday I had an wedding at Honey Horn Plantation on Hilton Head Island. The bride and groom are actually residents of Brooklyn, New York, but decided to have a beautiful fall southern wedding in South Carolina.
To keep with the southern theme, the bride decided on a sweetgrass basket design with a seaoats.
A topper of orange ranunculus finished the cake



I love this tree stump cake stand! How Unique!

Being from New York, the Groom requested a New York Yankees Jersey cake. At the tasting, the bride was rather jealous that he was getting a Yankees cake, so this is actually "Their" Groom's cake :)

The baseball was made from Rice Krispy treats and covered with fondant.


Really like that fireplace in the background


Just because I'm a cake decorator, doesn't mean I don't admire nice wedding decor. Loving the floating candles paired with the chocolate brown napkins and burlap overlays.

Second centerpiece. Manzinita branches with purple orchids and submerged seashells


Hope you enjoyed this wedding, and to Kamala and Ed, may your lives continue to be blessed by love.

Ruffled Cake

Here's is the Ruffled cake with purple sugar orchids that I delivered to Windows on the Waterway in Hilton Head!
This cake was a tiny little cake, that feed around 50 people. So just to put it out there, just because a cake is tiny, doesn't mean it's less work for me..lol It took 5 hours just to put those ruffles on each tier!

300 cupcakes, 2 wedding cakes, two scupted cakes, 75 cookie favors, rehersal dinner cake, and a locked car

Hello everyone! I just wanted to share some pictures from last weeks weddings. I had to do 300 cupcakes, 2 wedding cakes, two scupted cakes, 75 cookie favors, a Beach themed rehersal dinner cake for two separate weddings. On top of that, while setting up the 200 cupcakes display, my car locked, with the little small wedding cake still sitting on the floor of the car, and I had another delivery to do. Well it's hard to get help when you're stuck on a military base, but the Bride and Groom's family came to the rescue ( shout out to the men of the Loken and Carter family for unlocking my car!!). Well now I have a couple dents on my passenger side door to my  new 2010 car..lol, but it's all good. What ever I had to do to, even break my window, I would have done anything to get that wedding cake out and make it on time to the next delivery. Lesson learned here.....sign up for ONStar service....lol. Now on to the cakes...
