Tuxedo Strawberry Cake

A friend of mine asked me to do a small wedding cake for her brother and his partner. They wanted a black and white theme, and the only stipulation was to include tuxedo strawberries. I was thrilled at the idea! I had actually never made tuxedo strawberries before, so I was really excited to have an excuse to make them. Here is the finished cake!

I had a few extra strawberries so I had to keep making them. They were so easy and so fun!

Since I already had the strawberries out and the chocolate melted I tried a bride and groom pair too. I think the tuxedo ones are my favorite though!

Congrats to the happy couple! I'm honored to have been able to contribute to your day!

Penkwitz Wedding

On September 4th I delivered my very first wedding cake!! The cake was for a family friend, Brett Penkwitz and his now wife, Nikki. The couple was so great to work either. They had a clear vision of what they wanted, but also gave me some creative freedom. I was able to collaborate their ideas and mine into this.....

I loved doing the quilting. A simple technique with such a huge impact!

The flowers were also really fun to make.

The flowers were a spin on some poppies I had seen on another cake.

Beautiful aren't they?

Here is the groom with his cake.

This photo didn't come out the best, but here I am with the happy couple. Thank you so much for letting me contribute to your wedding day! I'm so happy for you both! Congrats!!
