I had a wonderful opportunity to work with The Wedding Girls and Laura Lorraine Designs when they asked me to design a cake for their Palm Springs wedding photo shoot! The directions were simple: geometric cake with a minimalistic design. MUSIC TO MY EARS! Since I knew we were going to be working in the desert, I threw in some sugar sculpted succulents onto the cake.

It's not every day your 5th grade teacher finds and adds you on Facebook! I was so excited to reconnect with my favorite elementary school teacher. She is one of the few people who helped shape me into the person I am today.

When I was an amateur baker I took a lot of care in measuring my cake pans to calculate the correct servings. Thanks to my engineering background I even used math for my calculations! My equation was simple for a 2" tall cake:
C=πD 
I recently had the honor of having my cake featured in a photo shoot by Spot N Photo! The cake is a 4 tiered wedding cake and the top most tiered was made using edible 23k silver!

I snapped pictures (unfortunately they are poor quality, I'm sorry!) during the process, so here is a small pictorial! But first, the final product:
My team and I sculpted the Han Solo and Princess 
From the Library of Congress:
"The centuries-old Armenian tradition agra hadig is celebrated worldwide by Armenians, no matter where they live -- Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, or the U.S. Agra means "tooth," and hadig refers to a traditionally cooked wheat dish eaten on this occasion.
