When
I visited Stacie Tamaki, owner of Leiko and Flirty Bride to look at
her custom veils and tiaras, she showed me her new whimsical cake
top creations. I immediately was taken by the fine, delicate, and
innovative design.
Nancy
Kux, owner of Nancy's Fancies picked up the thread and made this fabulous
cake in spring colors. "Just ask for something and see if we can create
it for you.
Photographer
George Delgado was so kind to take the picture and to provide advice
where to place the cake to show it off best.
Stacie
Tamaki (Leiko and Flirty Bride): To me the brides most fun to work
with are those who flirt with ideas and aren't afraid to break tradition.
For them I created a new line of original design cake tops. Nancy
and I cooperated to create this cake as a sample for a fresh approach
to wedding cakes. I will work with you to design a topper that will
complement both the design and colors of your cake.
My
whimsical Dragonfly Delight has become an instant success. The delicate
beaded dragonflies sway to and fro on thin spirals of wire. Currently
I am working on a topper with a small red biplane to symbolize where
the groom proposed to his fiancée. I am envisioning the plane
amidst floating cotton candy clouds... an idea that delighted the
bride.
I
also have received a request to create a topper that will have over
100 miniature origami cranes suspended gracefully above the top tier
of the cake.
My
other specialties include creating custom bridal veils, headpieces
and jewelry as well as sets of 1000 origami cranes to symbolize good
luck to the bride and groom.
Nancy
Kux (Nancy's Fancies): As important as a great-tasting cake is its
decoration. Here at the bakery we work on both of these so important
aspects, since the bride is always associated with an artistic-clever,
creative, and whimsical design.
When
Stacie showed me her capricious dragon flies, I immediately envisioned
a light spring design to show off her fun, eye-catching creation.
However, there are many ways to accommodate this cake top such as
piped dragon flies on the cake or subtle flower decoration above which
dragon flies play.
During
my years in the business I certainly have created many cakes according
to different colors and wedding themes. I have made designs based
on invitations, table linen design, decorated with seasonal flowers
and fruits, wheat sheaves, Chinese symbols; either piped on or with
icing or made of sugar dough. We once made a cake that looked like
it was in the middle of a forest, complete with a bird's nest, bees,
and flowers.
My
cakes accommodate Stacie's fresh and different cake tops opening up
a whole new array of of light whimsical creations. She and I will
work with you to show your guests how unique and much fun a wedding
cake can be.
George
Delgado Photography: The placement of the cake is crucial in creating
memorable photographs. As a photographer I am amazed how often the
cake ends up in a corner or in front of other distractions. Usually
with all the excitement of the wedding day you will only notice later
when looking at the photographs that your beautiful cake was in front
of a glaring window, a thermostat, or fire extinguishers. With the
advent of digital photography some of these things can be edited out
of the picture at an additional cost to the bride and groom, which
can be avoided with a little planning.
Your
wedding cake is one of the centerpieces of your reception, why not
show it off! Plan ahead and create a picture perfect moment without
distractions! Ask for a rolling table which some facilities already
offer. Such a table will allow the cake to be moved to the center
of the dance floor where all of the guests can gather around it, elevating
it to the special moment you always imagined it would be.
