Jamie and Chris

Boy, Amber over at Artistic Imagery is a machine about pounding out the pictures! I can't tell you how happy I was to see these two pictures on Facebook (and I shamelessly snatched them... hey, I know I'm a pain, but this will get me off her back until I can bug her for something a bit more hi res when she has a bit more time! and I GIVE PHOTO CREDIT!). A HUGE thank you goes out to Amber Novey with Platinum Planning too, she was so organized that it was a breeze (as usual!). (Yes, Amber and Amber... thank goodness I just had to drop off the cake and then leave! I could have seen all sorts of confusion arising from that little coincidence.)


Jamie and Chris got married this past weekend at Newcastle Wedding Garden. It was a gorgeous day and I was thrilled to make their cake! (Such an easy couple to work with!)

Enjoy the pictures, and yes, I think I'll be working in that picture of me into some sort of marketing material! (I actually like the two side by side like they are on the Artistic Imagery blog...)

Kate and Paul - June 14, 2009

Sunday (a beautiful California day!) was Kate and Paul's wedding at La Provence Restaurant. The first pictures here are from Brandy Novey-Capik (Brandy Sommers Photography), and the lower photos are from Monica Lunardi. This was a beautiful wedding with a food and wine theme and the evening's desserts were all about the chocolate! Amber Novey of Platinum Planning did a lovely job coordinating all the little details!

Kate and Paul were all about the chocolate, the cake was more of a formality, so we made it small, understated, and elegant, but elevated so that it was still the center of attention on the dessert table.
Chocolate Raspberry Mousse (with raspberries skewered with chocolate cigarettes and Dark Chocolate Tulip Cups (filled with white, dark and milk chocolate mousse and fresh fruit)

Yup, that's me! I didn't even see her take that picture!
