ESTHER AND DAVID

Hi dears, today's wedding write-up is more about the pictures than it is the couple. Once in a while, we have one of those where we meet neither bride nor groom but a loving member of the family who just wants to add sparkle and dazzle to a loved ones special day. Such was the case here, when dear sister of the bride and also a good friend of mine, called 1 week to wedding...yes! 1 week to wedding! ( pretty short notice by our standards) to ask if we could accomodate her order. Well, what can I say...Friendship has its price and sometimes that equals not being able to turn down a friend! In line with our policy to always provide our clients with bespoke cupcakes that match the general theme of the wedding, we came up with Butterflies in Antique Gold and Gold Pearls in pools of rich chocolate brown and cream buttercream frosting to complement the couple's colours of Gold and chocolate brown.

What was most interesting about the dessert table was the addition of a mini candy buffet bar to the cupcakes for that added ....zing! So candies, candies, candies in rich gold, chocolate brown and a touch of copper for colour! From the amazingly sweet candy crystals to the classy gold and copper gum coins, the table looked amazing...it Rocked as did the wedding!

SHARON ANEKE AND GEORGE ENEH!

Phew! The expression that comes to mind when I think of these wedding cupcakes. The call came the day we returned from our trip. I had barely put my bags down when the phone started ringing...4 missed calls? This must be a serious caller I thought. And then I got to speak to the  prospective bride and I knew I had to do it. She sounded really sweet on the phone and her "pleeeeeaaase tell me you can do it" when i told her the notice was a bit short, sealed the deal. Plus, when she told me who referred her...a childhood friend from wayyyy back who had told her sister in the States about us, I couldnt resist. So we set up a wedding consultancy for her cupcakes. The day Sharon and her cousin walked through my door, I knew I had made the right choice to accomodate her request. My CCh bride wanted cupcakes and boy! did she want cupcakes...500 petit beauties! Over the weeks that followed, we agreed on designs and flavours. Sharon wanted their initials on the cupcakes. Since we had a lot of cupcakes to work with, we decided to have bride cupcakes baked in gold liners, with the bride's initials on them and gold pearls. We also had Groom cupcakes baked in dark red liners and the groom's initials on them. We also had the in-betweens, dressed in ivory liners and rich swirls of buttercream frosting. All matched her beautiful decor choice of red, gold and ivory. The bride's verdict..."they were very very nice...I loved them". Glee.

Toasting the beautiful Bride and Groom!

CHINEME ENEH AND DINO CHUDI ENAHORO

It was a glorious day in April, the 30th day of the month. The weather was perfect. Perfect for transporting the delicious beauties we had worked very hard to make for a perfect bride. The bride Chineme had approached us months to her wedding to book desserts for her big day. She was very specific about the designs she wanted for her cupcakes much to my delight. She wanted daisys and sunflowers in various sizes and we were very glad to oblige her.  I wasn't surprised at her choice...those are very bubbly flowers and she had a very bubbly personality. Her colours were red, silver and white. Over the weeks that followed, we communicated a lot and during the course of one of our conversations, I suggested to her that rather than having just cupcakes for her wedding, she could have a dessert bar from one of our dessert bar packages. By this she would offer her guests a wider variety of desserts to suit every tastebud. She was delighted by this idea and gave us carte blanche to do as we pleased. The result? A very very pleased bride and in her own words..."Perfect job well done!!!"

This post is dedicated to our favourite capturings of dessert bars and the cupcake shops we visited and a surprise post for all cakeaholics out there: a visit to the mecca of all cakeaholics! Read on ...

We visited the state of New-Jersey on our trip and in the city of Jersey City, right in the heart of Jersey City Mall, we found the Cupcake Salon my cousin-in-law had talked so much about. Even my daughter Chloe couldnt seem to stay off the delish cupcakes. The red velvet cupcake which I had topped with the creamy cream cheese frosting was a true delight. Enjoy ;-)




After we had our fill at the Cupcake Salon, we jetted off to the city of Hobotin. At this point, if your a cakeaholic like me, you will have guessed our next stop. I was besides myself with excitement...I couldnt wait. I was going to be in the bakery of the Cake Boss himself...yup I said "the Cake Boss...Buddy from the  show the Cake Boss. The same guy who makes those amazing extravagant cakes. The line to get into the store is typically about 5 hours long, people wait our in the sun, rain and wind just to get a taste of Carlo's Bake Shop. I felt like a kid going to a candy store.






We finish by bringing you pictures of desserts bars we have fallen in love with. We especially love the unique and colorful presentations by amy Atlas and the insprirational dessert bars by sweet and saucy. Enjoy and keep reading CCh blog
