Vidauri/Koelemay Wedding

Another weekend gone by, another wedding celebrated! This weekend I had the pleasure of creating 2 cakes and cupcakes for the newly anointed Theresa Koelemay. Her request was for a wedding cake (that would be shared with an intimate gathering of family only), a reception cake for friends to enjoy as they party the night away, and finally cupcakes for brunch the day after the wedding.

The wedding cake consisted of "bride white" cake with buttercream frosting accented with yellow satin ribbon and elegant embroidery piped designs. I absolutely adore the unconventional dove topper they chose. It complimented the quaint cake beautifully!




The reception cake gave the couple a chance to really let their wild side show! This whimsical creation consisted of red velvet cake with dreamy cream cheese frosting and funky colors to boot! The bride's favorite color is green, and the grooms is blue, with a touch of yellow to reference the wedding cake, this cake came together brilliantly. This isn't your "traditional" wedding cake!




October 3rd is Averie's 4th birthday! This week I am creating a Disney Princess themed cupcake tower for Averie's 4th Birthday party! After the delivery 11:30am, it's off to the CakeWrecks book signing in Dallas. I can't wait!

October 10th marks the birthday's of Tara and Cassie. For this celebration I will be creating a grilled pineapple upside down cake with a lusciously light rum infused whipped cream topping as well as ginger spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting to get kick off the fall season!

October 31st is not only Halloween, but this year it's also Kiran's 14th birthday! A chocolate cake with choc-o-holic frosting and a Twilight theme is sure to make this a birthday (and Halloween) to remember!



As always, there will be pictures to follow when these projects are complete. My apologies for the gaps in posts, but things never seem to slow down at Belly's Bake Shop!

September Weddings

Wow! It must be wedding season, well at least for me it is! Whether I am reading about my friends getting married this month on Facebook or getting cake orders -September has proven to be a very popular month to get married!

This month is the DuMonthier/Mueller wedding cake. This cake will consist of 3 separated tiers of almond cake with almond frosting, a silver "M" emblem, silver dragees along the top border, royal blue satin ribbon attached to the bottom of each tier and buttercream roses between each "floating" tier. (I can hardly draw a cake, you didn't REALLY expect me to draw roses did you?! Give me a break!)




Also, I have the Vidauri/Koelemay wedding. This order will include a wedding cake, an off-site reception cake, and next-day brunch cupcakes. Wedding cake consists of "bride white"/buttercream cake, 2 separated tiers with fresh calla lily's between the tiers and yellow satin ribbon to adorn the bottom of each cake. The reception cake will be more personal and quirky (My favorite!). The colors are blue and green and may/may not include a humorous cake topper and inside jokes! What we do know for sure is the cake will be a 2 tier stacked red velvet/cream cheese cake! Brunch cupcakes, will be "bride white"/buttercream, with a white circle embellishment! (sketches to come after a meeting with the bride on Thursday 09/10/2009!)
