Peach Wedding Cake

To Fondant or not to Fondant, that is the question.

I am often asked what is "Fondant". Well Fondant is not butter cream icing. But what it is, is a very soft, pliable sugar based rolled out dough, that is formed over a butter cream iced cake. It has a taffy like, mild vanilla or almond flavor. My Fondant is soft and delicious. It's very smoooth porcelin like finish is what the in-style bride is looking for. And it's abilities to be made into any shape or design is almost endless. It's so versatile and durable, its perfect for the High Standards of creativity, that our Southern Utah brides, puts on us cake decorators.
I have made everything from fondant roses, orchids and callalilies to "Mad hatters & Whimsical fairy tale" cakes to nature's "Grand Canyon" and "Zion Canyon Walls". It is simply amazing what can be made by talented hands and sugar. It is only limited by your imagination.

This little jewel was a real challenge. The bride wanted a Damask look, but she wanted a unique look instead of the stencil look that everyone else is using. So I hand painted a stylized design on all 4 sides. The design matched her look that she used throughout her reception. Everyone including the bride was amazed by this beautiful cake. And I was very proud of my finished work. Definitely an art piece.

Harmony Hardman wedding cake

This perfect pink cake is the perfect confection for the Hardman wedding. This is number 3 I've done for the Hardman family. They are always pleased and I hope I will be called again for the next daughter to get married. Congratulations to the both of you.
By the way....your reception was stunning...Laura Stagg from "Forever More Events" did a great job.

Ivory creations at the Compton Estate


This lovely and unique creation is design by Jenny Compton, mother of the bride.
The cake is covered by ivory fondant and tiny white blossoms, accented by a loving phase written by the bride to the groom. The whole look is finished with a white sash on the bottom tier.

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.
