Gold and Green Wedding

See her amazing dress! and yummy baklava!

I got to create a cake for a very unique wedding this week. The groom is from Algeria and the bride is from the U.S. and they are going to live in CHINA! She inspired me by showing me the skirt of the dress he had made for her-- a beautiful pistachio green with sequins, beading and gold embroidery. They chose a marble cake in three tiers, a 6, 10 and 12inch. I found the perfect ribbon to match her dress and went from there. The flowers I used in the topper were pale green hydrangeas and ivory roses and the flowers accenting the tiers were pale green roses. It was really wonderful to be a part of such a special day! Here's some photos:

15

 Gabrielle has turned 15! Poor Gabrielle always has to go to school on her birthday, it seems. She had lessons that afternoon and so Madison and their teacher played a flute duet of happy birthday for her! The next day they did have school off for a teacher work day, so we made her requested cake. It was a chocolate mosaic cake. Two square tiers, covered in a whipped ganache and dark chocolate mosaic "tiles". This is crazy chocolate! I should have done a border on it but at 5:00pm, I ran out of ganache and energy! The cake itself was triple chocolate including chocolate chunks and fudge swirled in as well. Got milk?

Dinnertime Chat

Full and ready for a bath!

I "heart" face chat! Ok, so this is not the best picture, but just so you get the idea! Yesterday Lisa called  to face chat with us while Adycen was trying baby food for the first time! It was so cute! She was a real mess, but very interested in her carrots, taking a break every once in a while to stare at us on the computer! I am so glad we got to share that with her! We face chat on the ipad, so this is just a shot of the screen during the chat. We also got to see Lisa's craftiness- she made Adycen an OU hair bow and matching tutu! Both were adorable! (She of course was not wearing them during dinner!) We also got to see Lisa's cute new hair cut and highlight, courtesy of Brycen's sister. So all around a fun chat- way better than talking on the phone.
