Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, and if you happen to be up in Paso Robles enjoying some wine-tasting, then plan on stopping by Eberle Winery who will be hosting their first annual Wedding Expo, Sunday, September 5th. There will be a wonderful assortment of wedding vendors showcasing what they do best...making your Big Day the most memorable one ever!

See you on the 5th!

This cake was delivered today up in beautiful Cambria...a green velvet cake (yes..I know it's not St. Paddy's day!) with an Italian Meringue Buttercream finish and lots of gorgeous butterflies. The butterflies flew all the way up from Australia just to be on this cake!!! Chris and Stacy, I hope you have a beautiful day and a wonderful life together.

This was a busy weekend for Cake Cathedral...a wedding cake delivery and a catered tea party for a bridal shower. The two-tiered cake and a couple of sheet cakes were delivered to the Dana-Powers House in Nipomo. Congratulations to Erika and Mike...you two rank right up there with my favorite couples! The tea party/bridal shower was so much fun and everyone thought it was a unique and very special way to celebrate the up-coming nuptials...watch for the photos in another blog post.

Whoooo hooooo....I'm a Mother-In-Law! My lovely daughter, Emily, married her sweetheart, Ed, on June 27th. The ceremony and reception were at the Monday Club, right here in San Luis Obispo. My DIY daughter/bride created a truly unique wedding that reflected their personalities to a "T". Everything was fun, colorful and full of good spirit. She wanted a collection of cakes....a three-tiered cake, German Chocolate cake (she had a hand in its creation) and cupcakes in fun, bright wrappers. Emily and Ed....my congratulations and love to you both!

Avila Golf Course was the venue for yesterday's wedding. It was a gorgeous day out at the beach and the big yellow and white tent looked amazing. The theme of the day was 'Beach Elegance' and Linda Renfrow, Events Director, and her talented team had certainly made the Bride's dream a reality. The cake was made up of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors, with chocolate and strawberry fillings. The fondant sparkled with super pearl dust, while white chocolate seashells, roses and ranunculas cascaded in two downward spirals from the top tier. Congratulations Courtney and Eddie!

Another car cake...this time a Porsche...for a graduation party. Adding the little details on this one was a blast; the spoiler, the hubcaps, even the windshield wipers! Actually, the wipers, for some odd reason, was my favorite thing about this cake, probably because they were so dinky and cute! (I know...I'm weird!) If you want to see a couple more photos of this cake in progress, check out my Facebook page. BTW, the cake, itself, was Chocolate Kahlua with Chocolate Buttercream filling.

God's Haven For Children, a local organization in San Luis Obispo that does amazing work with foster children, held a fundraiser at the beautiful, historic Biddle House. It was such a fun day featuring local wines, delicious food from Chef Leonard Gentieu of "ONE-Onboard Nautical Events" in Morro Bay, live music....and desserts from yours truly, Cake Cathedral. The mini cakes were White Velvet, rolled in powdered sugar which created a yummy glaze, then decorated with Italian Meringue Butter Cream leaves. To finish, red sugar roses were added to half the cakes, white sugar hydrangea blossoms to the other half. Dean Sullivan of Sullivan Studios did a beautiful job of capturing the cakes and was kind enough to send me this photo. Thanks, Dean!
