Justine & Matt

This small cake (44 servings) went to The Queensbury Hotel on Friday night. They had a bagpiper-really neat! Again, absolute downpour on the way there...I'm going to need a boat soon.

Jolie & Jeff

I did not get a picture of their cake as they had someone pick it up. Hopefully they'll send one... They have been together for 18 years and have three children but they finally decided to get married on lucky 8/8/08.

Marinela & Brian

Their reception was at The Gideon Putnam on Saturday night. Boy was this cake a challange! Marinela really wanted her cake to look somewhat like her dress (picture included). So this is a buttercream cake with fondant wrapping and sparkley "appliques" all sprayed with pearl and it served 128. As soon as I was ready to get the cake in the car, it started pouring. Once it let up, I get in the car and head over to the Gideon only to get stuck in concert traffic and the 5 minute drive turned in to 15... All ended well and now I wait to hear from the bride and hope to see pictures of her dress and cake together.

back from vacation

I was in Maine for a week so I apologize to all who've been waiting for these.

Jennifer & Bradley

They were married on Friday, July 18 at The Riverstone Manor in Glenville. This cake was done in a rose color to match the invitations and served 92. All chocolate with raspberry mousse-YUM! Flowers by Heavenscent-thanks to Jordan Baker.

Gabrielle & Kevin

Their reception was on Saturday, July 19 at Fort William Henry in Lake George. This cake served 118 and the scroll on the side was inspired by their monogram 'M'. All yellow with strawberry mousse-mmm... even the cake itself thinks so! Flowers by Kabloom-thanks to Colleen Vogel.

Very different cakes...

Chalene & Joseph
They were married at The Saratoga Hilton on Friday, July 11. This was a different design that the bride found in Well Wed a few seasons ago. The diamonds are fondant and the fleur de lis are royal icing painted silver. This cake feeds 128 and flowers by: Balet Flowers & Design. I love the peonies and lady's mantle together!


Katie & Shane
Their reception was at The Saratoga Hilton on Saturday, July 12. They actually watched me carry this large cake into the hotel... that's a first! Unfortunately the lights were being turned down as I took the picture so I appologize for the bad example. There was a monogram on top, then dots, swirls next and finally lines. This one served 172. Flowers by Posie Peddler!


Jessica & Geoff
This reception was also Saturday at The Gideon Putnam. Jessica wanted pink-so she got it! This cake serves 118 and is all chocolate.

Happy 4th!

Laurie & Jeremy

This wedding was at The Saratoga Hilton on Friday night (7/4). There were 120 cupcakes and a cake that served 18. The dots were from the Save The Date magnet that the couple used.

Lauren & Greg

Another Saratoga Hilton cake on Saturday (7/5). This was a big, blue cake that served 178.

Mini wedding cakes...

This weekend brought me two sort-of last minute (3 weeks before) cakes that were both pretty small. Both served 42.

Lisa & Shawn

They were married at the VFW in Saratoga on Friday and everything was blue & brown (love those colors together!).

Heather & Randy

They were married at Silver Bay yesterday. The delivery was quite an adventure... it started to rain just as I got the cake in the car and then it rained harder - I could barely see the road! So after that and closed roads, I arrived 1/2 hour late (1st time ever!) but the priest was stuck in the weather too so it all worked out fine. Then I discovered there were no flowers like planned so I had to get crafty. There are fresh ferns, dogwood blossoms and birch branches on this cake. Very natural...

Another busy weekend...

Sandy & Mark

They were celebrating their 1/3 of a century anniversary (33 years) and the cake served 106. Those are dog figurines made by her niece many years ago of Sandy's dogs that are no longer with her. Very sentimental!





Crystal & Jon

This reception was held at The Georgian in Lake George. This cake served 152 and fit into the tropical theme.


Allison & Christopher

Their reception took place at The Saratoga Golf & Polo Club at sunset. The cake served 106 with 36 cupcakes to round out the count. Looks like lots of fun in store for the guests...


Beverly & Leon
These two have been married for 50 years!! The original wedding cake was square so that's what we did this time but with a modern spin. This cake served 58 at The Gideon Putnam on Sunday.

Ashleigh & James

Their reception is this evening at The Saratoga Hilton. This cake serves 214 and we had an extra little cake out back... Flowers by Posie Peddler-Gretchen helped me put all the flowers on!



This shot shows the detail of their monogram.

What a busy weekend...and was it hot! Four cakes this past Saturday and it was at least 95 with 90% humidity! Ugh-not great for buttercream cakes, but what can you do? Here they are...


Marilyn & Joseph


The small wedding & reception were held at The Gideon Putnam. This is a mini cake, serving just 50 people.


Meara & Justin

This reception was at The Museum of Dance and the cake served 74. The top was actually a dairy-free chocolate...


Sarah & Ralph

This was a Saratoga Hilton reception and the cake served 198. Lots of color this weekend...


Crissy & Andy

Their reception was also at The Gideon Putnam with Heather as the photographer. This one served 172. Flowers by Posie Peddler...

Shannon & David

Their reception was at The Gideon Putnam on Saturday. This one served 92.

The bride wanted some silver stars mixed into the flowers. Little secret...
