We use Swiss fondant, Swiss white chocolate fondant, and American Buttercream icing as outside coverings. We use fondant, sugar paste, modeling chocolate, rice krispie treats, and cake for modeling items. We use handmade (hard) sugar paste flowers and handmade *wafer paper flowers. Edible, but NOT recommended for eating due to the hardness of the sugar (sugar paste) or *the lack of flavor (wafer paper).

We had a fabulous beyond words fantastic honeymoon that we will never forget! During our stay in Antigua we had wonderful snacks that lasted us all week thanks to you. They put the (Honeymoon) basket in our get away car so when we got in we had a wonderful surprise waiting! It was gorgeous and may I add way over done.
Things to Consider Re Your Wedding
Report
When To Order: Plan to find and contact your baker at least 6 months to a year before your wedding date (Hopefully us, : D). We limit the number of our bookings per date; so plan early. Tasting: We schedule and bake especially for each tasting and do not keep any cakes around. We charge $25 for a tasting for two people, with three flavors (alcohol or special purchases will be extra).
Brief History of Cake
Report
Early Roman Brides carried a bunch of herbs like garlic and rosemary to ward off evil spirits and symbolize fertility and fidelity. This was the precursor to the modern bridal bouquet. Cakes actually began in ancient Egypt as round, flat, unleavened breads that were cooked on a hot stone. The evolution from crude cakes to what we enjoy today happened over many centuries through the introduction of new ingredients and of course, technology.
