It seems like just yesterday Mountain Man came home and let me know he'd try to get me a wedding cake gig with a girl he met on his way home from a business trip.
Shortly after that, I was contacted by Diana and the wedding cake planning began. She went non-traditional, which I loved! She wanted just a small cake for the cutting, a cake for the groom and cupcakes for the guests.
We discussed flavors, fillings, frostings and numbers, the couple came for a tasting and just when we thought we had everything figured out a few last minute changes occurred.
For starters, we were originally going to use this delicious Mango Curd as a filling for the wedding cake, but about a month before the wedding the couple decided to switch it up and requested a Red Velvet Cake instead (no biggie). And as the number of guests increased, so did the number of cupcakes.
With 2 cakes, 90 cupcakes (3 flavors) and 30 mini banana creme pies to make, time management was key.
All packed up and ready to go!
I always get so nervous when transporting cakes and cupcakes. I don't know how Duff and his gang do it on the streets of Baltimore! Every bump and turn make me cringe, praying that nothing is happening to the sweets carefully tucked away in their boxes.
Thankfully we all got to the venue in one piece and I was able to set up the goods on the fabulously sweet dessert table. Along with my cakes and cupcakes, guests had a plethora of goodies to feast on throughout the evening.
Another wedding down and hopefully many more to come!

Beautiful Red Velvet cake! The cupcake buffet is so fun for a wedding reception. Hope this leads to so many more wedding jobs.

Wow, this is seriously impressive! I don't think all the time management skills in the world could help me get all of this done!
Wow the cake looks incredible! I so want to eat that entire cake and all of those cupcakes. :)
Beautiful job! I'm not a cake maker or decorator, so I really appreciate people who have that skill. You definitely do! And Mango curd?? Yes please!!
You never cease to amaze me with your creations! The cake in particular looks so festive! I'm sure you will have many more to make in the future :)
I'm sure you will get plenty more orders after this one. Wish I had been around to help clean up (I mean lick all the frosting bowls). You are making me want cake for breakfast. Hope you are having a great weekend.
