I love Damask print and get pretty excited every time a client ask for a cake covered in this very elegant and classic design.
At first i thought to leave it simple white and black but the red really made it pop.

We had the pleasure to work with Cate from Little White Dress to recreate one of Matthew Christopher's bridal gowns on a cake. The runway show was hosted by Cielo at Castle Pines.
Thank you for Jenny Maroney for the beautiful pictures and to Matthew Christopher for the inspiration.

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

This wedding was a very intimate family-oriented celebration. Katie, the bride, wanted her guest to feel welcomed and loved.
The lovely Pick me ladies provided the floral decor and the Day of coordination and Devil's Thumb Ranch was as beautiful and great to work at as always.

Whew! I finally have some time to sit down to write some and share pictures with you.
Of course half the time we forgot to bring the camera and still have to wait to get some pictures from the photographers. For now here are a couple we got to snap!
The cake above was one of our favorites especially because of the flavors. We were inspired by the bride and groom's taste - S'mores for the bride with homemade everything and Tiramisu for the groom and his Italian family
Will be back with a 3 part post from another amazing wedding!

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!

I just got the news that one of our most beloved weddings of 2009 has been posted on Couture Colorado blog

Elizabeth & Brett love all things old world and it shows on each and every detail.

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,

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)

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.
