Design your dream wedding cake that not only looks great but tastes amazing. 🎂

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Reels should reflect REAL…when they capture the kind of joy you can’t manufacture.

These moments don’t just happen, they’re built by an incredible vendor team working in sync, bringing a vision to life with intention and care. This day was a perfect reflection of that.

Working with Liza was truly special. She trusted me wholeheartedly to curate the right team and to bring her vision to life, especially her dream of a beautifully designed celebration centered around a family-style meal. @nelsonatkins delivered this so perfectly that when trays made their way to the tables, the servers were met with applause from the guests 🤍 It was magic!! Pure, genuine, shared joy. Not to mention the guests were surrounded in beautiful floral & design details from @branchesandtwigs 🤍

The cake was truly a work of art that I didn’t want it to see cut but the guests enjoyed every bite as soon as it was set out for them. @takethecakekc thank you for always delivering your A Game! 🤍

@cremeandsucre sweets table was not only beautiful, guests didn’t get to view the beauty for very long because her wonderful sweets were gone in a flash!

It’s always serendipitous when everything comes together like this, authentically, organically, and real. I truly feel lucky that I get to celebrate the beginning of a marriage with the couples who chose me as their planner. Thanks @lizacosser for trusting me🤍

Blurring the line between decor and dessert…
9 tiers of ruffles and flowing lines echoed the elaborate drape design behind this beauty.

"Sweet girl, let Mama show you how it's done!" Happy 1st Rodeo! @mccall_witt

Being able to create a couple's wedding cake and then their children's birthday cakes is such a joy for me. Thank you!
