Haute and Spicyyy. The November issue of Brides Magazine takes you through the story of a couple, Annika and Derek, who take an exotic two week trip to the other side of the world and come back with a handful of inspiration for their upcoming wedding. Their set-up is complete with Balinese linens, Thai street food on sticks, a white Indian sari,...and a cardamom-cinnamon cake with apricot filling, which we made! The flavors, colors, and patterns of this 5-tier cake are reminiscent of Moroccan patterns.

Grey and Lime
For some reason, I love working with variations of grey. When this brooklyn bride told me she was looking for a cake decorated in grey and lime green I was so thrilled! I covered this two tier cake with individually painted and scored fluted-round circles. Then I added a small tier in between that was wrapped in lime green to give it a pop of color. Finally, sitting on top was a bouquet of purple centered calla lilies. It's the first time I've seen such an amazing variation of this flower. The bride sent us this nice photo of the cake before it was cut and devoured :)
While I was setting up the cake and adding flowers to the top, the flower girl came up to me and asked me if she could have some :)

Musuh Terbesar Manusia

Halo teman - teman, mungkin dalam hidup kita sering kali kita berhadapan dengan musuh kita. Dan musuh itu bisa ada dari mana saja, terkadang kita ingin melawannya kalau kita yakin kita mampu. Dan banyak orang yang pasrah dengan yang dia hadapi, karena mungkin dia tidak punya keberanian untuk melawan.

Tapi taukan teman - teman musuh kita yang terbesar ada dalam diri kita sendiri, dan musuh kita itu sudah pasti diri kita sendiri. Mengapa saya berani mengatakan hal demikian, karena banyak manusia yang terjebak dengan keadaan sekitar yang dapat mengubah mereka. Tetapi dia tidak dapat mengendalikan dirinya sendiri, sehingga banyak orang yang terjerumus ke hal - hal yang negatif.
Biasanya yang terjerumus itu adalah para kaum remaja dan dewasa di bawah umur 25. Mereka yang tidak dapat mengendalikan dirinya banyak yang terjerumus kedalam free sex, narkoba, ganja, dll. Hal itu biasanya bermula dari dia melihat orang yang melakukannya, dia tau kalau itu tidak baik, akan tetapi karena rasa ingin taunya lebih tinggi sehingga dia terjerumus dan tidak bisa keluar dari itu. Dan musuh yang dia hadapi semakin kuat dan tangguh, sangat sulit untuk dilawan.Pikiran manusia juga sering kali membuat banyak orang yang stress. Misalnya dalam menghadapi suatu hal yang sebenarnya dia tidak perlu pikirkan, tapi dia malah memikirkan semua hal buruk yang mungkin akan terjadi. Dia tidak sadar kalaupun dia memikirkan iru 3 hari 3 malam tidak akan membuat segala sesuatunya berubah. Itu hanya membuat hidup semakin susah dan bisa stress nantinya.
Teman - teman, dari artikel ini saya harap kita bisa merubah cara pola pikir kita untuk selalu berpikir yang positif, karena itu akan membuat kita tampak lebih fresh dan tenang.

Moustache
Moustaches have recently become such a popular prop for fabulously silly wedding photos. They are everywhere! So naturally someone asked us to make moustache cookies for their wedding...how cute!
I saw this picture of a bride and her bridesmaids on Wedding Bee if you are curious about the craze I'm talking about :)

Brides: Cost saving tips
The current edition of local Brides Magazine features our cakes in a very interesting cost story. We made two cakes with the same colors and same shape, but for different budgets. The price per slice really depends on the techniques used and the amount of labor involved. Hand-made sugar flowers, intricate cut-outs, and poured sugar details are among the highlighted factors that will increase the costs.
Check out the story to find out ways to save money when ordering your wedding cake. Ours are the purple and lavender cakes :)

Brides: Style Inspiration
This month's issue of Brides local magazine is out! We made a two-tier angular cake for a wedding inspiration board based off of Bottega Veneta's Spring 2010 collection. The sharp shape of the top tier mimics the one shoulder pieces that are prevalent in the collection.
