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 third ruffle tiered was designed using Maggie Austin as an inspiration.I had a great time working with Pablo from Spot n Photo! Here are the images:
I recently designed an entire dessert table for a wedding. Part of the table included the Death Star groom's cake for a huge Star Wars fanatic. When I say huge, I mean HUGE! I was told he even dressed up as Han Solo for the couple's first dance!! Here is a picture of their wedding countdown:

My friend commissioned this cake for her friend's baby shower. She called me up and said "Shantal, we want a baby shower cake, a candy theme for a boy. The colors are going to be blue, white and brown, and we want lollipops!!"
So after mulling over a few ideas, I came up with the cake you see pictured above. For those of you interested in replicating this cake, and you live in Los Angeles, I will warn you that those lollipops were definitely not easy to find. I had to do some online researching
