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!

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!

Here is another great wedding we were lucky to be a part of, Ashley and Nick were great to work with and we loved the way the barn at Devil's Thumb Ranch looked with the beautiful decor.



The design on the cake was taken from the couple's invitation wish was inspired by the airplane were they met.



The bride absolutely loves peonies and since they were are out season we created them out of sugar to finish up the look of the cake



And the cookie table had French Macarons, Checkerboard cookies, Earthquake cookies and Buckeyes made by mother of the bride

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Beautiful wedding at Snow Mountain Ranch, the cake was simple and classic white with yellow flowers. Vanilla with vanilla bean cream as filling and vanilla buttercream

This cake makes me think of a very quiet night in the woods. Jodi and john picked this cake for its simple and clean look. The reception was at the Evergreen Lake house. Very serene!

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!

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!
