A Piece of Cake
It wasn't a piece of cake at first but after a few misses we finally found our baker! And we should have guessed from Stacey's business name A Piece of Cake that it would be.
When cake is important to you you have to know what you like and what is available to you.
Do you want fondant icing? Smooth finish, heavy marshmallow texture on designer cakes like those on tv's Ace of Cakes, The Cake Boss, the Ultimate Cake Challange.
Do you like buttercream icing? A light flavour, usually in pale colours and you can see very rough or slight texture from icing tools.
Flavours: Does your potential baker have a variety to choose from including yummy fillings?
Tastings: It's not always like in the movies (or big cities) where you go to bakeries and sample a number of flavours until you find the perfect combination. We are lucky to have a few that I know of who provide a free tasting but do not be surprised if you are expected to buy a small cake(s) to try it out.
With so many other details to ask your baker...
Cost per piece?
Delivery costs?
Embellishments to the cake?
Do they provide a cake stand? and do you like it?
How much cake to order for your guests?
...it can be fun but a decision that should not be left to the last minute.
After 3 unsuccessful attempts at trying cakes, including one that was given away to another customer, we have found my clients wedding cake baker!
We have a design in mind, a cake topper to top all heirlooms and a marble cake with buttercream icing tasting approved! Now we just have to wait until the wedding day to see the final product. Too long!
Like I always say, watch for more details!
Until then click on the link above to find out who this baker is. Be sure to eat something before you do because I crave cake every time I see her artisitcs work which look too nice to cut into. It must be those adorable burger cupcakes.

Snow is melting, the sun is shining, can spring be on it's way so soon. Knock on wood!

Welcome Nicole and Ryan
On October 10, 2010 (10/10/10) I will be with Nicole and Ryan as they celebrate their wedding day. I am so excited to be a part of this day with such a unique and rare date. It's not that often you can get a fun date on a weekend!
They currently live out west and have been trying to get started on planning on short visits home. I had the pleasure of meeting them over the holidays and they thought my services would be the key in making this event happen.
I'm looking forward to all of our wedding design and timeline meetings, although via email or phone we'll plan a special day. Nicole and Ryan have some great ideas and I'd like to add my personal touch to them as well.
I love my job!

The Happy Yappy Scrapper
An absolute must to check out, The Happy Yappy Scrapper
I had no idea my friend Jennifer had so much talent. Well of course I did but really haven't seen some of her most recent work and it far exceeds my imagination. This girl is a scrapbooking machine!
I'm going to have her help me with a project so I'll post the results. What ever I was thinking I could accomplish doesn't compare to what she can do. Then again I have no skills or patience for such detail with crafts which is why I recommend experts to my clients.
Enjoy!

Great New Blog Find
Have you been to Design Sponge yet? Just when you think you've seen it all you come across a great find.
See something you'd like to try? Be creative and find a way to make it personal.
Check out this great project I found under DIY on Design Sponge. Maybe socks aren't your thing but there are other ways to dress up your dollar store or yard sale find. Think ribbon, a scarf, tinfoil, paper mache, winter hat... The sky is the limit.

Good Bye to a Friend
It's been way too long! I miss my blog but I needed some time alone, and for all of you out there who love their furry family members (the animal variety not dad who needs a back wax) you'll understand how hard it is to say good bye.
I won't share the details but I lost my little girl Spazz last month. (Yes, Spazz is my cat's name and she earned it every day of her life). I had a wonderful nine and half years with her and the past 3 weeks have been an emotional culmination of all our memories. A lot happen over those years and I will keep each moment close to my heart.
Pet or hairy dad, don't forget to say I love you every chance you get.
Bye, baby girl, I love you!
