Cocktail for Wedding Vendors at W Hoboken


I was very excited to receive an invitation to a cocktail at the W Hotel in Hoboken organized by Salome at Always a Bridesmaid New Jersey.

This was a wonderful opportunity to chat with a variety of wedding service vendors from around the Tri-State area to share ideas and contacts. We met some lovely people, including Make-up Artists and Salons, Floral Designers, Photographers, Bridal Accessories stores and caterers. No doubt we'll be working with some of them in future to arrange shows and presentations, so soon I'll add those names to a preferred vendor page on my website.

The cocktail took place in the Chandelier Room, a really cool bar with an amazing panoramic view across the Hudson River to Midtown and Downtown New York. We got to see a huge full moon rise over Manhattan. Thanks so much to Salome and the W Hotel for hosting this event.

White Roses with Ivory Drapes Wedding Cake


The Terrace in the Sky restaurant in Manhattan was the venue for an elegant New York wedding celebration.

The bride asked me recreate a hexagonal ivory colored cake that she loved, which had white sugar roses and hydrangeas. The four tiers of red velvet cake have a raspberry buttercream filling and a thin layer of raspberry preserves. Each tier is covered in an ivory fondant, a series of scrolls are piped in icing and then adorned with fondant drapes. I added some leaves to give the colors a contrast, and the base of the cake is surrounded by ivory fondant pearls.

This was truly was a white wedding, the cake was delivered through a blizzard!
