It's All About The Groom! - ABC Sacramento

Last week we did a cake for the local chapter of ABC (Association of Bridal Consultants). The theme of the night was... It's All About The Groom and WHAT FUN! I love getting a chance to meet new wedding planners (new as in I haven't worked with them yet!) and photographers.

Lora Ward of a Day To Remember Wedding Consultants asked me to make a Groom's cake using the theme as inspiration. (Take a look at her blog for more pictures of the event - coming later this week.) I did a little research and found an inspiration cake (I love doing research!) and just ran from there. Working with the theme, the cake was my favorite chocolate cake with "chocolate chip cookie dough filling" (brown sugar buttercream with mini chocolate chips). Delightful!

A HUGE thanks goes out to Carmen Salazar for taking these pictures.

Another Thank You goes out to the gang over at Aitiquite Maison Privee for hosting the event. You have to see the space, it would be an amazing venue for a mid-sized, intimate wedding.

Association of Bridal Consultants

Tuesday night was the bi-monthly meeting of the Association of Bridal Consultants. What a night! The meeting was at 1724 N Street in a beautiful Victorian Mansion. It's a relatively new venue, so there were still some glitches. As many of you know, IT'S BEEN HOT! here in Sacramento. That, mixed with the newness of the venue meant that the AC hadn't quite been figured out. So we sweated. It was fine.... as long as you didn't move, but boy do I need a shower! :) (Sorry for the mental picture!)

I served dessert: Frozen Wildflower Honey Mousse with Strawberry Rhubarb Compote... mmmmm, some where still frozen, but most were very mousse-y... I blame the weather, but out of 44 seats, I think I only saw two or three desserts not eaten. I'm blaming diabetes! For such a hot evening it was intended to be light and refreshing, but still very flavorful and colorful (very very pink!).

Special thank you to Carmen Salazar for the following picture!
