2011-11-15T10:59:00.000-08:00

This wedding cake was such a delight to work on and the bride and mother of the bride were just as lovely as the cake!

Summer weddings in Colorado

2011-11-12T10:58:00.000-08:00

Time passes by so quickly and we find ourselves in November with the holidays around the corner and realizing that I haven't blog about our summer weddings in a while.
We had an abundance of Dessert tables this year which was very fun and tasty!
I will get blogging now about those lovely weddings I remember to take the camera to and as i get professional pictures i will post those as well.

For now lets start with one of my favorite cakes of the season, a very romantic cake inspire from Martha Steward's wedding cake book for a small wedding. I love the eyelet work and the "simplicity" of the design.

Cakes and dessert tables from some of our Colorado weddings 1

2011-07-26T18:25:00.000-07:00

It has been a few weeks since my last post, it has been a crazy end of spring and summer filled with weddings and Sundays at the South Pearl farmer's market selling our French Macarons, Pate de fruit and Madeleine cookies.
We have had a lot of dessert tables this year, of course i haven't been very diligent with the camera and have very few pictures of all we have done so far this season. Lets start with these...

Sugar Flowers - Denver

2011-05-17T18:50:00.000-07:00

I had the pleasure to take an awesome class with Jacqueline Butler from Petalsweet in San Diego. She is such a lovely person and oh so talented and the flowers we worked on make my heart melt.

The flowers:
Soft green sweet sugar Hydrangeas, delicate sugar Gardenia, Elegant sugar Magnolia and the romantic and exotic sugar Orchids

We had a great time working with the lovely Kara Delay from Pick me! Events, Jamee from Jamee photography and many other awesome vendors that help put this 50's wedding style shoot together.

I loved working on the cake with the short funky ruffles, little belt and the big sugar flower topper. The other little goodies were just a playful take on the theme and Jamee did a fantastic job capturing the feel of all the elements.

This are my "non-professional" photos, please take a look at Couture Colorado's blog feature to see pictures of the rest of the shoot

2011-05-02T11:38:00.000-07:00

At first i thought to leave it simple white and black but the red really made it pop.

Dessert table ideas -Denver

2011-03-30T15:48:00.000-07:00

Dessert tables have become one of the hottest trends for any celebration and of course a wedding is a great way to dazzle your guest with a beautifully arranged table of "yummines"

We get a lot of requests for dessert table items such as tartlets, french macarons, mini cakes, etc and with that come the questions of how to display it? what pieces to use? where could i find those? what should I offer? how many? and more...
There are many resources in the "Cyber" world these days and some of my favorite are the super talented table designer Amy Atlas a pioneer on the subject, and Melody from My sweet and Sauce who recently wrote a piece on dessert tables for Ruffled Blog with some great ideas, to name a couple.
If something i have learned from following the work of great designers and what I learned working in the pastry field from many years is to be a bit methodical, follow patterns, themes, color schemes and have a good flow.
- Follow a theme:
* What are you celebrating? we are going to stick with weddings since we are more involved with them
* What is the theme of your wedding? Look at the rest of the design elements used around the wedding, center pieces, flowers, the venue itself, linens, etc; and incorporate them on your dessert table. If you think about it this is a vital piece of your overall design, it stands alone for everyone to see and you want to make sure it doesn't look like the dark spot remembered for all the wrong reasons.

* Where do i find the display pieces? Now that you have a theme you can begin to think what pieces would look best. I have found great pieces for tables on thrift stores, good will, Ross, TJ Maxx, for very inexpensive that I would keep using for entertaining at home. It takes a little work and research which makes the finds that much more especial and sustainable, instead of paying for rental which you don't get to keep. For rustic style weddings I go to wood shops, garden stores and even home improvement centers... i didn't say it will be as easy as 1,2,3 but it will save you money and will give you gratification.

* What to offer? This is a very subjective question after all each person's taste is different,what i can tell you is order items that represent you and items that will please your crowd. The choices are endless from mini cakes, cupcakes, tartlets, cookies, caramel apples, to candies. What i always tell my clients is to include the theme here as well, for example going back to the rustic wedding I love caramel apples, s'mores cookies, earthy colored macarons, apple tartlets or mini pies...etc
Of course you can add some more elegant desserts like these mousse shot glasses and the theme goes to Rustic-Chic

* How many? Now this question is all dependent on whether you are having a wedding cake as part of your table, or having both, or if your wedding is a mid afternoon celebration and all you would like to have is dessert - I was invited to a party like it once, small short reception with only dessert and cake, they had a good amount of both (if there was some other course) the only issue was that was all being offered and as time went by the guest got really hungry and it wasn't enough.
What I tell our clients is to make a list of all you are offering your guest and then decide on the dessert table.

Some tips are:
- The more items you have on the dessert table the more curiosity you will create and therefore the more you should order. I always suggest no more then 5 items if you have a wedding cake as part of the count and budget 2-3 per person, example: you have 130 guests coming to the wedding and your cake will feed about 80 plus about 150 dessert pieces. I wouldn't consider candy as a dessert serving, I think of it as an added bonus.

- If you don't have a cake to serve your guest then budget about 5-7 pieces per person, of course this also varies based on the size of each dessert
- Have a variety of small and a bit bigger servings this gives options to your guest for those that might just want a couple of small pieces to end the dinner

Budget:
This is a big one if you have a restricted budget and can't compromise then gather help! We all have a cousin, aunt, grandma, mom or friend who loves to bake or has a signature cookie or dessert, ask if they will be willing to make a batch for you; I know it seems like a hassle but I am telling you this because some clients I have worked with have brought that to my attention which made me think what a great idea. You can give them credit by having signs next to the goodies with their name "Sallie's famous cheesecake bites" your guest will see it as a very special touch and will be a topic of conversation without having to mention your budget.

Dessert tables are fun and the process of putting them together is just as fun as enjoying the final display, Enjoy!

The truth behind your wedding cake/desserts price

2011-03-30T14:46:00.000-07:00

I have been thinking about writing this post for a while now after seeing this post.
We love what we do and wouldn't change it, but it is sometimes uncomfortable to have to explain why we can't lower our price when asked: why is that cake $X dollars?
Today I would like you to take a tour with me through our behind the scenes expense reality.

Overhead:
Food related business, this includes your pastry chef/cake designer, have the highest overhead of all of the businesses involved in a wedding, yet these are the first places most people want to find a way to "cut down their cost" and or try to get a deal by asking for a discount.
Overhead includes rent, utilities like water, energy, gas, trash, recycle, phone and internet services, insurance and let's not forget all of the regulations placed by the health department and their fees.
In this category we can also include equipment purchase and maintenance. It is very expensive to open up a commercial kitchen and have the right equipment that the health department approves and it is an investment that has to be recovered by the business, specially if your baker has taking a loan to make it happen not only he/she has to worry about the investment but also about the interest needed to be payed on the loan.

Food cost:
This changes based on the quality of the ingredients used by your baker but it normally equates to 25% - 30% of the total price of the sales, sometimes we go over based on ingredients that go up in price when we have already committed to a price with a client and we hold our word regardless of running on a little higher then we should

Labor cost
Boy this one is pretty big! Labor cost can take 30%-35% of the total sales. This doesn't mean we are getting payed all of this money, what this means is all the expenses that come with having employees register with the state plus their actual salary.

On top of the above expenses we have the constant changing nature of the wedding business which means constantly getting new tools to fulfill the new designs, books and classes to make sure we are on top of the game and can offer our clients the best service and skills for their money.

Other expenses:
Gas, office supplies, packaging needs and support pieces for each one of the cake, cleaning supplies, accountant's fees, attorney's fee, bank fees for the business account, credit card charges for all of those credit card payments and a few more...
Of course some bakers charge more then others based on their experience, education and skill level and to put this into perspective is like going to the general medicine doctor or going to a specialist.

I hope this post helps you understand the way our business works and why we price our goods the way we do... as I mentioned before we love what we do and we want you to love what we can do for you!

Snowflake cakes

2011-02-06T15:00:00.000-08:00

This weekend we are spending some time with friends in Winter Park while weathering the big storm hovering over the area.
Yesterday we were working at Devil's Thumbs ranch on a wintry snowflake-filled wedding, it was a beautiful set up that Rami from Pick me events created together with the couple. Of course looking outside was just as beautiful!

The cakes were part of the center pieces on each table, covered in sparkling sugar and topped with a sparkly sugar snowflake surrounded by pine cones and sitting on a tree stump stand.
We also had a Bride and Groom table were a small 2 tier cake was displayed with some homemade candy, brownies and cookies

Thank you to the beautiful couple for trusting us with their wedding cakes without ever meeting with us!

Lovely Winter wedding

2011-01-29T18:02:00.000-08:00

We loved this wedding...everything about it had a sensitivity to it, the couple was great, the fabulous team of vendors and the oh so beautiful snowed-in Devil's Thumb ranch was the finishing touch

The list of goodies included a Croquembouche, since the couple wanted something fun, French macarons (Chocolate, Vanilla bean, Salted caramel and Pistachio), Key lime tartlets, Apple-streusel tartlets, brownies and Coffee cream Lace cookies. The groom's cake was Coconut cream with caramel drizzle, a gift from Tiffaney to Dave for his love of coconut

The horse was made from nougatine to follow the theme of the Croquembouche and to add to the rustic feel of the dessert table... and we know how important it was for the family

Thank you to Tiffaney and Dave for making us part of their lovely celebration, also big thanks to Kara from Love this day for the flawless planning and CR and Tiffany from Brinton Studios for sharing this amazing pictures with us!

Spruce Saddle Wedding Part 1

2010-08-28T17:59:00.000-07:00

Well, this is our all time favorite wedding and favorite bride. We had a 6 month preparation for this event packed with numerous tasting to select just the right desserts for the couple and their guests and it was a fun and educating experience.
Our lovely bride is a HUGE marzipan lover, i don't think i have ever met anyone in the States who loves it as much and we made sure to make her happy by making her fresh marzipan for all of the different desserts and cake.
Some of the most exciting confections we made were Swedish, like the Dammsugare which is the grandfather of the now popular cake pop, covered in marzipan and dipped in chocolate or the Chokladbiskvi a cookie like macaroon topped with chocolate buttercream and dipped and chocolate -Yum!

To continue on the marzipan theme we made some guests welcome bags with Dammsugare and marzipan balls some dusted with cinnamon sugar and some coated in chocolate.

As well as, Marzipan stuffed figs

Here is a sneak peak of the Dessert table and the amazing decor used by Design Works

Ela Family farm

2010-07-11T16:53:00.000-07:00

Located in Hotchkiss Colorado Ela family farms is, as its name entitles, a family-owned all organic farm. Their biggest crops are Apples and Peaches, and they have other crops in smaller scale such as heirloom tomatoes, berries, cherries, plums and pears.
They also produce the best jams, fruit butters and apple sauce we have ever tried.
We had the opportunity to visit their farm and tour the Hotchkiss and Paonia towns where we had found great food and even better company

We have been very fortunate to have found and work with Ela Family Farms. All of the members of the Ela family are extremely kind and knowledgeable.
For two years we have been using their products as part of our baked goods. One of our most popular cakes is our light lemon curd cake with their yummy raspberry-peach jam.
They are part of many of the farmers markets that go on in Denver, Boulder and Fort Collins. Their fruit season is about to start and let me tell you, you won't find better tasting peaches and apples any where else.
We encourage you to visit them at the farmers market not only you would get a fantastic/tasty product, you would be supporting local farmers!

Cascading flowers

2010-07-11T16:36:00.000-07:00

Here is a "East Hampton" wedding cake. The bride loves all things flowers and her cake had to be luscious with blooms.
Thank you to the Pick me ladies for providing us with some beautiful flowers for it.
The flavors were luscious as well. Cookies and cream - marbled cake with dark chocolate cream, vanilla bean cream with crumbled homemade chocolate chip cookies for the bottom tier, lemon-raspberry/peach and dark chocolate devil's food cake to top it all of
Thank you Austin and Jason for being such a wonderful couple to work with

Romantic cakes

2010-07-02T15:03:00.000-07:00

This is the year of the lace! I can't tell you how many requests we are getting for cakes that carry the lace of the bride's dress or free design with lace involve.
Here is a square cake with some uneven tiers - which will tell you modern- but wait there is lace all over and one big magenta peony to make it soft and romantic. The flavor or the cake - vanilla chiffon cake with vanilla bean chocolate cream and fresh strawberries.
Thank you Lauren and Tyson for choosing teacup to create your wedding cake.

2010-06-08T14:02:00.000-07:00

We had a great time this weekend going all around town and the mountains. One of our favorite weddings was this at the Hotel Boulderado in Boulder. The bride loved the lace on her dress and wanted to make it a big part of her cake.
The hotel has a sweet charm to it, with lots of dark wood and the amazing glass ceiling. The day was beautiful and we were able to enjoy a short walk along the river before heading back. Pictures of our other weddings to come!

Pretty in Blue!

2010-06-01T09:48:00.000-07:00

We love love love creating the goodies for this wedding!

The bride, Carrie, wanted to have shades of blue with white throughout the wedding including the cake and confections. The wedding was held at Devil's thumb Ranch in the Fraser Valley, and the background was stunning. I can't wait to see the pictures from the very talented Rachel from Stellar Photography

Each table had its own cake surrounded with jars filled with flowers from Pick me! The couple's cake was on a separate table with the confections which they used as favors. Hand made Hazelnut and light blueberry french macarons and fleur de sel chocolates.

The cake flavors were Lemon-raspberry and Vanilla with salted chocolate ganache and caramel buttercream.

Thank you Carrie and Scott for making us part of your lovely celebration!

Nature!

2010-06-01T09:40:00.000-07:00

This weekend we had a lot of pretty cakes. This cake certainly got our attention.

The couple Vanessa and Adam had their very nature inspire wedding at the Wild Horse Inn, surrounded by trees, wild flowers and singing birds.

To a very fun couple, congratulations on your wedding and a life full of happiness!

Finger dessert tasting

2010-05-25T17:02:00.000-07:00

We had some great meetings this week and got the chance to make some cute little finger desserts and confections for a tasting with one of our lovely brides.

I am enjoying the process of putting this dessert table together, because we get to play with many ingredients and create all of it from scratch. Some of the yummy goodies we are planning on are meringue shells, vanilla and hazelnut, both topped with a fruit whipped cream, Lace cookie and cream rolls, eclairs, crunchy and creamy profiteroles, chocolate coated almond Florentine cookies, Hazelnut-chocolate meringue kisses, Hazelnut cream tartlets, Nougat and chocolate nougat, Mango and mixed berry fruit jellies, multicolored macaroons and more...

Check back in August for pictures of the final product!

Last few weeks

2010-05-22T16:34:00.000-07:00

It has been a couple of very busy weeks. We have been traveling, for educational purposes of course! more of that later, and taking care of some great customers with meeting for weddings and some graduation goodies for high school and college.

Today i am finally caught up with emails, phone calls, contract writing and now getting back to my lovely blog.

I had the pleasure to go to the Notter School of Pastry arts in Orlando Florida to study with one of the best pastry chefs in the world, Stephane Glacier.

Mr. Glacier is a world pastry champion, has coached teams for competitions and holds the MOF tittle (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) which is the highest recognitions to craftsmanship in France. He also owns a pastry shop in Colombes, France.

The class was a blast and i would have love to stay a lot longer. Some of the most interesting parts of the class were the chemistry behind sugar work and how to apply those concepts to understand why certain technique or recipe isn't working and how to fix it. Extremely helpful information when trying to recreate any sugar confection or baked good at high altitude with a very dry atmosphere.

I am now confident to offer to our clients confections such Pate fruit (fruit jellies), Nougats, Marshmallows, Caramels, Nougatine, and much more. These are perfect as edible favors for weddings, or as part of a dessert table or a simple afternoon tea!

Colorado Cakes!

2010-04-30T13:17:00.000-07:00

We had a great time yesterday driving to Estes Park for a wedding cake delivery, the scenery was spectacular. It had just snowed that morning and the sun was out drying the roads. The trees were white, the sky was blue and near the road beautiful wildlife. We saw big horn sheep and little dear.
We got to our destination without a problem, with a 4 tier pale yellow cake with bright orange sugar Japanese lanterns

The cake flavors were Marble with chocolate whipped ganache and chocolate french buttercream, as well as, Pistachio lovers cake - the bride's favorite.
Thank you Angie and Justin for letting us be part of your lovely day.
Also, Joyce from La Vie la Gage events for trusting us with her clients desires, and can't wait to see Kim Nodurft's pictures.

Cupcake week!

2010-04-26T12:52:00.000-07:00

It is kind of funny to see how each week seems to have a theme, this week's is cupcakes!
We had all sorts of cupcake flavor orders including:
- German chocolate, Coconut chocolate, Classic vanilla bean cream, Vanilla-chocolate, Devil's food, Carrot, lemon-raspberry and more...

Chocolates, Yum!

2010-04-24T18:25:00.000-07:00

We have been playing with chocolate all day and got to make, and eat, some pretty yummy variations
I personally find chocolate making relaxing. You have to take your time with it, if you don't it will let you know who is the boss, not you.
We made a few different ganaches, like coffee, raspberry, caramel and good old fashion dark chocolate. Then we used colored cocoa butter to hand-paint some designs on the molds before casting them with some tempered chocolate. One very important tip is to make sure you have a well calibrated thermometer, it can ruin the look of your chocolates if it is giving you the wrong temperature

After casting the molds we filled them up with the ganache and finish them up with another coating of chocolate
I love this next step, tapping them of their mold! You get to see your efforts turned into pretty little morsels that taste awesome

These chocolates are for one of our lovely brides for this weekend wedding. She is putting them in little boxes as favors with their logo. Cute!

Ahhh, Sugar flowers!

2010-04-23T08:00:00.000-07:00

I love this time of the year, i get to play around with sugar paste and create beautiful blooms for our upcoming weddings.

My latest pick is the "Queen of Denmark" rose, filled with tight petals, it is romantic and very different from our beloved garden rose. Ahhh! Spring such an inspirational time

Composting made easy!

2010-04-21T08:44:00.000-07:00

I am thrilled with our new acquisition, an easier to tumble composter. Definitely, easier then the patch of stuff in your garden that attracts the oh so loved squirrels, grrr.

This beauty is up in the air helped by two big support "legs" and it is tumble friendly.

We started this batch with a big bag of dried leaves we had saved from the fall, and slowly add natural mater to help it breakdown into compost. Using the leaves helps to keep the batch from going stinky . I am definitely not an expert but i do love the fact that i can put all our eggshells, tea bags, coffee ground, fruit and vegetable discards (no animal products please) into this and in a few months will have compost that my garden will love.

2010-03-24T16:21:00.000-07:00

This weekend we had a great time up at Devil's Thumb Ranch with the lovely ladies from Pick me! Events, creating a beautiful vintage wedding.

The bride wanted to mix all kinds of textures and colors through glass vases. All of them were filled with a mixture of all white flowers, it was beautiful! I can't wait to see the pictures from Brinton Studios.

The couple chose a three tier white cake with a very simple design and sugar flowers, plus 2 small vintage-like cakes for each one of them. Flavors were Chocolate-hazelnut, lemon-raspberry and Pistachio lovers. The bride's little cake was peanut butter-chocolate and the groom's cake was red velvet.

Thank you Maggy for allowing us to be part of your beautiful wedding.

Lovely cookies

2010-03-22T20:18:00.000-07:00

I love when brides want to have special pieces for their wedding. We were asked to make these cookies as "invitation to be our bride's maid or groom's man" just adorable and very thoughtful.

Love it!

Winter wedding

2010-02-03T13:26:00.000-08:00

I had the pleasure of working with one of the most sweet and organized bride ever! Ashley was a delight and her main concern was to make her guest feel special.
We had sugar cookies for welcome bags in the shape of Louisiana (her home town) and California (Chad's, the groom, home town)
For the wedding a 3 tier cake with lemon-raspberry, apple-cinnamon cream, and chocolate-raspberry flavors, as well as, a "map" cake of their travels as a groom's cake.
To finish up the evening, we prepared goodie boxes for the guest to take to their room as a mid-night snack or morning pick-me up!
Thank you Ashley for having us be part of your wedding.
We also like to thank Rami and Kara from Pick me for their wonderful planning and flower designs.

Blogged in Style me Pretty!

2010-01-24T12:18:00.000-08:00

A gift that keeps on giving! that is what i think about this wedding every time i get an e-mail that it has been featured in another stylish blog. This week it is in Style me Pretty !
I am so happy to have worked with Ali in creating a simple, but delish Wedding pie display featuring some fruits from Ela family farms, like their mouth watering peaches and super crisp apples, plus other pie flavors.
I really never thought beyond the fact that we were very excited about having a yummy selection of organic pies, and that Ali was gracious enough to have Teacup prepare them for her wedding. When we arrived to the site it all made more sense to us, the decor and feel of the party made us understand that our humble pies were an important part of it.
Thank you Ali for making Teacup part of such a great, well put together, event!

Love blue!

2009-12-20T13:52:00.000-08:00

We just love these kind of confections!

The holidays are here, whether we are ready for them or not!
Today, Monday before Thanksgiving, everyone is thinking turkey and we at teacup are thinking Holiday Baking.
We have decided to start a holiday baking series, baking and showing you "how to tips" for making delicious and easy sweets that you can share through the season ahead.

The juice of 2 lemons
1 tbsp organic cinnamon
1 tsp organic ground cloves
1 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/3 c organic sugar
2 tbsp organic flour
2 oz of organic butter cubed
Toss apples in lemon juice, set aside. Mix all the dry ingredients and add to apples together with butter mix to combine.
Divide mixture into individual oven proof ramekins, cover apples with crisp topping and place on a sheet pan.
Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Serve warm.

Crisp Topping
1 cup organic AP flour
1/2 cup organic oats
1/2 c organic brown sugar

Mix all ingredients in a mixer with the paddle attachment or the food processor until it becomes crumbly - Don't over mix.

Kata Fundraiser

2009-11-18T12:47:00.000-08:00

We had the pleasure to work along side the Board members from Kata Foundation, at our annual dinner, this past Saturday Nov 14, 2009. Every year in their fall Fundraiser they offer a package dinner for 10. It is a 5 course dinner, enhance with the super juicy steaks from Del Frisco's Steak house and Scott and I provide the personal chef services.
The couple who purchase the dinner and their friends were wonderful, not only for their generosity, but they were warm and welcoming. A real treat!
We want to thank Del Frisco's for their generous donation.
Please visit the KATA website to learn more about their cause and their fundraiser events.

We have been blogged!

2009-11-12T13:36:00.000-08:00

I got an e-mail from a bride a had the pleasure to work with this past October at Devil's Thumb Ranch. Alicia Carr, a very earthy-green consious bride, who wanted pies for her wedding instead of a cake. I found the idea very charming and different. She picked 10 different flavors including banana cream pie, lemon meringue, apple-strussel pie, blueberry-peach and more.
Her latest e-mail was to tell me that we have been blogged at Green Wedding Shoes, from California, because her wedding was very green and we had contributed to it by having our pies made with all organic ingredients, and lots of them from local sources, such as the peaches and apples from Ela family farm.
We are thrilled to know that there are people like Ali who care to make the effort of finding ways to make a wonderful event such this a bit more environmentally friendly.
Thank you Alicia for having us been part of your event, and thank you Tec Pataja for including pictures of our humble pies.

Hi Paula,

A big thank you for making our pie bar SO adorable! And tasty! Everyone was raving over the pie and we thought it was delicious too!
Ali

Chinese style Wedding

2009-11-09T10:29:00.000-08:00

This was a very unique wedding, from the color green cake to the brownish-red Pagoda as the topper and the bamboo center pieces. It was very earthy and easy going.
The cake had very simple and to the point flavors, Vanilla bean and Chocolate truffle.
I had the pleasure to work with Sarah Hays from Hays photography (hope to post images from her once they are in)

Romantic Wedding

2009-11-08T20:04:00.001-08:00

This is one of the most romantic style wedding cakes there is, lots of roses surrounding the tiers and the brush embroidery really makes it a true classic.
I had the pleasure of working with Kristen Samz from A current affair events, who is one of the most carrying wedding planners i have worked with.
The cake had three different flavors, German chocolate (groom's favorite), carrot cake and vanilla bean.

Upcoming Holiday specials!

2009-10-30T14:59:00.000-07:00

It is a beautiful sunny day and i just finished my pick of goodies to be offered as "Holiday specials"
We are very happy to have lots of apples from Ela Family farm to be able to prepare our all organic apple-streusel pie, apple-frangipane tart (My favorite dessert ever! Yummy) and other apple goodies. There is a great list of holiday inspired quick breads, cheesecakes, cookies and chocolates. Visit our website to read the complete list of offerings.
Now that i have been learning about this blogging business, slowly but surely, i found a blog that featured us a few months back. Thank you Leigh from The bridal Collection

End of wedding season

2009-10-28T14:52:00.000-07:00

It has been long since I last visited my own blog. Summer came like a hurricane, even thought i tried to keep up with baking, decorating, delivery and the blog, i new something had got to give.
October is a great time to fall back into the habit of writing, specially on a snowy day like today, 8-10" already on the ground and more to come, Got to love it!
A lot of the pictures from the rest of the summer are already on our website. We had a great summer, lots of cakes, cookies and other goodies, and the introduction of new all organic ingredients. We are now using all organic jams from Ela Family farm in Hotchkiss Colorado, finally found organic fair trade sugar, organic flour, and organic dairy, and are possibly finish with the hunt for organic spices!
We traveled a lot this summer to mountain vicinities to deliver wedding cakes, cupcakes, cookies, pies, and more. Although we love the mountains, it was hard some days, specially when having 13 individual cakes on tree stumps going up Berthoud Pass - frightening.

Anyway, this time we'll make sure to keep our blog up to date. New and exciting events are coming our way and we want you to be part of them. A calendar with updates on classes, events, and open tastings will be up shortly.

Colorado mountain wedding cakes

2009-07-19T18:42:00.000-07:00

These were a great treat for the guests, the bride decided to make individual cakes for each table and have their guest cut and enjoy them at their leisure. Vanilla cake with vanilla bean cream and toasted almond french buttercream made these cakes a leafy indulgence. Thanks to Kara from Pick me! for helping us with the logistics.

Croquembouche

2009-07-19T18:39:00.000-07:00

I love when i get the chance to make something different for a wedding cake. This was definitely different, the biggest challenge was to transport it from Denver to Devil's Thumb Ranch in Grand County. Anyway, it was fun!

Colorado!

2009-07-19T18:32:00.000-07:00

This cake represents the beautiful meadows of Colorado, filled with wild flowers and green grass. A very lemony - refreshing cake.

Fish and flowers!

2009-06-21T12:22:00.000-07:00

Fish and flowers indeed. Breckie and Matt asked for their favorite hobbies, flavors and colors to be a part of their wedding. A big rainbow trout was Matt's cake (chocolate with coconut buttercream). For Breckie, lots of branches and sunflowers. The cake flavors were chocolate with truffle and cookies and cream filling, and a vanilla cake with lemon curd and Raspberry-peach jam from Ela family farms. They were a very Eco-friendly couple and for that a love them!

Nature was our inspiration

2009-06-21T12:13:00.001-07:00

Together with Kara and Rami from Pick me!, we put a beautiful, nature inspired setting for Peggy and Nicholas wedding at Devil's Thumb Ranch. The cake was lemon-raspberry with vanilla buttercream. The branches from the table settings (picture up) tied perfectly with the light branches and flowers dressing up the cake. A very beautiful set up. Great job pick me ladies!

2009-06-21T12:07:00.001-07:00

Weekend of fun

2009-04-07T14:39:00.000-07:00

This weekend i had a great deal of fun the different cakes created at Teacup.
A couple of my favorite ones are the cow print cake at Devils Thumb Ranch, while working with Kara and Rami of Pick me!
The next one was this super cool and fancy purse, replicating a designer's bag. The cake was surrounded by jeweled cellphone, jewelry, golf balls and other loved subjects of the birthday girl.
How fun!
