We had the pleasure of doing Frances & Roberto’s wedding this past weekend. Frances had chose INSPIRE as their venue. INSPIRE is a new venue in the Broadmoor Mall off of Road 100. Opened by the D&Z team they had pulled out all the stops for their wedding. Frances had decided on a dessert table, with 2 cakes as the main focus, as well as 10 different flavors of cupcakes, some petite fours, pecan bars, and lemon bars. Next time I promise to get more venue pictures so you can see how beautiful INSPIRE is. Here are some pictures of her dessert table;

Dreaming of the perfect Wedding Cake…for 25 years

We have had the honor of having Kathy & Dave visit us weekly since about a month after FMS opened. Dave & Kathy are amazing, loving, and very kind people who over the years have transitioned from customers to friends of all here at FMS. A year or so ago Kathy told me of her wedding experience with her wedding cake. She had dreamed up a gorgeous wedding cake & went to a local cakery to have it made. Excitement built over the next few months as she waited to see how her dream cake would look in real life. The day came & Kathy walked into the reception to see her dream cake and….dream it was not. More like  a nightmare it was not what Kathy had wanted, not even the same colors. Dave, being the sweet Groom trying to diffuse the problem with humor, went out and bought some twinkies, stacked them up, and made her a new “wedding cake”. Humorous as it was, Kathy still didn’t get her wedding cake.

Fast forward 25 years to the present day. Dave & Kathy would celebrate their 25th Anniversary on May 18, 2013. In March Kathy & I sat down & discussed her dream wedding cake. I felt a great deal of honor (or was it pressure?) that I would get to make the “dream” cake for Kathy that she had been dreaming of for 25 years. We discussed designs, flowers, colors, and sizing. I was nervous after we spoke as she had brought me a Sylvia Winestock cake & told me “this is almost exactly the cake”. If you do not know of Sylvia Winestock, then the caption above the cake “The Queen of Flowers” describes it all. I can do flowers, but I would never call myself the queen of them!

I spent the few weeks prior to the Big Day studying up on flower techniques. Kathy had enjoyed the look of cabbage roses, spring flowers in peaches, lavenders, & creams. As the day approached I became increasingly more nervous. My first few flowers turned out less than ideal. After a bit of a warm up I was able to channel my inner Sylvia Winestock & get some really nice flowers done.

The day came and we were so pleased to be able to provide Kathy with her dream wedding cake. Here is a picture of the Love Birds, and their beautiful cake!
