Ivory creations at the Compton Estate
Beecher/Spencer wedding cake
Congratulations to Jacob & Hilary Beecher
This cake was completely inspired by the bride and groom. They both wanted simple but elegant with rich colors and fabulous tasting cake. The cake was covered with sumptuous orange butter cream icing and the inside was my famous gourmet spice cake. They loved it, in fact every body did. The wedding was held at the Beecher estate in La Verkin.

Here's sweet cake I did for the Ledges Bridal Show. What fun it was. Brides tried on Dresses, have their hair and make-up done. And then have professional pics taken by some of the best photographers in St. George. And then they got eat some of my cakes. The cake flavors were Strawberry cream with strawberry filling anf cream whip icining. And Chocolate Fudge Cake with chocolate fudge filling and chocolate butterecreamicing. And then I have Sour lemoncake with lemon pudding and citrus buttercream. Everyone said they were delicious. This little spring cake was made with multi-colored green fondant sticks surrounding a beautful 3-tier stacked creation and decorated with fresh yellow daisies. Simply Springy

This was an amazing and fun cake I did for a lovely couple who were both teachers who taught in China for 2 years. They had a Chinese theme wedding reception. I hand painted the Dragon and bird, which represent the bride and groom. I also did a Pagoda on the top with a "Double Happiness" symbol. The gate represented their starting a new life together.
All real Cake except Pagoda top.
Totally Awesome!!!

Bridal Cakes by Yvonne
So the world want to know more about me and how I became a talented cake decorators and baker.
Well, believe me, there is much more to Yvonne than first meets the eye, but first I will tell you how my cake creating skills came about me..................Long, long ago when I was a very young girl, I was surround by wonderful a extended family....ie aunt, uncle, cousins, grandparents and so on. Well it is during this when I discover I had artist talents. I drew pictures and sketches and eventually began oil painting. I soon found that I had knack for art. Also doing this my Aunt Lucy, Grandma Wyant and Cousin Carolyn were busily learning the art of cake decorating. My extended family were already great cooks and bakers which go back generations into the Pennsylviania Dutch territory.
My great Grandma Rerrick had a large boarding house and cooked everyday for sometimes 20 to 30 men. They loved her cooking. Many of those great recipes have been passed down to me and I still use them today. Anyway, much of my baking skills come from my Grandmother Wyant & Aunt Lucy who continued to make huge family dinners & picnics with lots and lots of delicious food. Grandma's cakes were what everyone looked forward to at the end of a big event. Always moist and scrumptous it was to die for. Anyway Grandma decorated her cake beautifully too. Her buttercream roses and lacey design always brought ooohs and aaaahs. Grandma and Aunt Lucy were always asked to do wedding cakes for friends and family. And so their fame grew. It was during my young teen years that I begged to learn all Grandma and Aunt Lucy knew, and so I started making, baking and decorating cakes when I just 13. This is where my cousin Carolyn came into the picture. She became my best friend and learned along side me. She also went on to start her own wedding cake business as well and lived in Santa Maria California. Over the years, I learned so much from her and I owe her my greatest gratitude. She is Awesome. I also owe my Grandma Wyant & Aunt Lucy much graditude, for their patience, love and experience. Not to leave anyone out, I owe so much to my mother. Although she's not the greatest cook (gotten much now) she is a terrific artist, and I grateful to her for her encouragement and sending me to art classes. So now you can see how and where I get my talent from. I made my first wedding cake more than 20 years ago. And much of what I've learned in the last 20 years has come from books and trial & error. It has been a fun and terrific journey.
