The Sweet Taste of Pink with Silver Spoon Cake

 As an artist it is always a privilege and challenge to create a one-of-a-kind cake for a special event.

I was excited to work with Brian and Michelle on their wedding cake. And it is especially wonderful when you have the opportunity to work with very nice people. And have fun too.

This cake was so lovely I have actually made it my blog icon picture.

Thanks Brian and Michelle.

Brian and Michelle's Review of their custom cake.

When we met with the director of the reception center, she gave us a couple of options for bakers that she uses for her guests’ wedding cakes. She warned us, however, that wedding cakes are baked not for taste but for aesthetic appeal. 

Wedding cakes are baked differently for structure and designed for visual appeal and the taste will be flat. We left a little disappointed thinking our wedding cake will be tasteless. We had hoped our wedding cake would be a highlight of our wedding: not only how it looks but how it tastes. 

Well, through a mutual friend, we met Darcy. We emailed and talked on the phone discussing flavors and wedding cake ideas. We had a couple of flavors we wanted and asked for her suggestions. She was fantastic and easy to work with. Whatever flavor we wanted, she could do and then she had some tasty combinations of cake and icing which she suggested. We were thrilled with the combinations we came up with and she set up a cake-tasting party. She baked mini-cupcakes in all the flavors we wanted to try, and she had bowls of different filling and icing flavors. 

We completely enjoyed the afternoon: frosting cupcakes with different flavors and jotting down our best combinations. We came away from the cake tasting absolutely excited and completely confident our cake was going to be delicious. 

Our hopes for a memorable wedding cake were completely fulfilled. The director of the reception center couldn't believe how fantastic the cake looked and (more importantly) tasted! As we walked from table to table talking to our guests, everyone one of them complimented us on our wedding cake. 

The cake was moist and the butter cream icing was delicious. Our flavor combinations were the following: coconut cake with chocolate ganache filling, peach cake with lemon filling, chocolate cake with salted caramel filling.

We highly recommend Darcy for any special occasion you have. She is an amazing chef and baker. Her pricing is very affordable, and her product is heads and tails above the rest.
