This is one of the largest weddings we have ever done. The lovely couple, Michelle and Ono, wanted a massive 5 foot tall 18 tier cake which we created with hand piped brush embroidery and thousands of hand-made sugar orchids, roses and hydrangeas.

The couple also requested a 34 foot sweet table with almost every single sweet and confection that Bobbette & Belle makes. Ourselves and 4 of our staff were on hand the entire evening to explain the desserts and help serve the 600 guests. It was an spectacular sight to behold.

Our classic magnolia cake in silver metallic and tones of yellow matched perfectly with the preppy seaside decor at this waterfront wedding.

For this editorial shoot, we created a 5 tier soft pink cake with sugar ruffled bottom that is reminiscent of a ballerina tutu. For the unique sweet table, we created edible towers of all varieties, including meringues, cake truffles, and french macarons. The effect was enchanted and enticing.

WEDDING BELLS

Fall/Winter 2009

Wedluxe Magazine

Winter/Spring 2009

Allyson Provided a series of editorial cakes for this issue as well as cakes for some very special featured weddings

This editorial feature was an ode to ribbons and bows, but the inspiration for this cake actually came from two different sources; a picture of vintage millinery bows and the classic hot pink dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blonds. 

This sweet little cake was inspired by the ribbon work on a vintage ring bearer's pillow. It in turn has gone on to inspire a cake in our new 2010 wedding cake line.

This 5 foot tall cake was created using thousands of handmade sugar cherry blossoms which took over four months to make. The couple also requested cupcakes and two sweet little sugar bunnies at the base of the cake (a term of endearment for each other and a special finishing touch).

This tower of mini cakes was created for a nautical themed Muskoka wedding. Each of the four styles were served as dessert at a wedding where the bride and her friend did much of the extraordinary decorating themselves.
