I Now Pronounce You, Wedding Cake & Cheesecake!

Every wedding we work is just a bit different and magical in its own way.

When I learned the future bride and groom wanted both a wedding cake and accompanying cheesecake, I was excited beyond belief! They asked for a Mexican vanilla flavored naked cake. They also wanted some type of cheesecake, and we talked about the best pairing. After we decided on Strawberry cheesecake, I thought -

“what’s cuter than a strawberry cheesecake?” “Duh, MINI STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKES!”

And then the planning began. I began looking into the best ingredients, and soon after we started baking. We went with fresh strawberry halves to go on both the cake and cheesecakes. The following days were full of mixing, baking, soaking, stacking, icing, and cheesecake-ing. We drove to the venue, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery before watching the ceremony.

It doesn’t matter how many weddings I work, seeing two people in love sharing their vows is always my favorite thing ever. After the ceremony, Michael, our intern and myself start planning the cake cutting and laying out cheesecakes. By the time we deliver the first batch of cakes and cheesecakes, the serving table is empty. What a great problem to have!

Before leaving, we got to speak with the newlyweds and sample their charcuterie board. The patrons seemed to have loved our cakes, and I remembered why we offer full wedding cake services; nothing beats the feeling when you’re involved with such a special moment. Anyways, enjoy these photos!
