Back from Savannah!

When I got word that there was an opportunity to take a sugarpaste flower making class with Ron Ben-Israel, I booked the first flight out to Savannah, Georgia!!!

Minette Rushing of Custom Cakes was hosting a 3 day Master Class of Sugar Flowers taught by the famous Ron Ben-Israel. He is known for his life-like sugar flowers and stunning designs - this was not an opportunity I was about to miss!

Well I just got back from Savannah, and I had THE best time! I learned so much, the classes were beyond amazing! I hope to have the opportunity to study again with Chef Ron as not only is he an incredible teacher, he is also very funny and a wonderful person!

A Day Filled With Love

When Leslie & Mike came to me, they had a very clear vision of their wedding day. They were to be married on Valentines' Day, but they did not want to have anything cliche at their wedding - no red, no white - hearts but very subtle.

Their theme was Vintage Glamour - incorporating blue, silver, ivory and feathers! After our meeting, I came up with this glamorous cake design, which Leslie fell in love with!

4 tiers of various heights, design elements inspired by the lace detail on her gown and I incorporated the double heart brooch as a nod to Cupid. The entire cake was BananaRama covered in ivory fondant and the detail work was accented with edible silver shimmer.

Congratulations Leslie & Mike!

2009 Bride's Choice Award

WeddingWire, the nation’s leading wedding technology company, just announced that Flour Confections has won the 2009 Bride’s Choice Awards™!

In its inaugural year, the Bride’s Choice Awards recognizes and honors vendors from the WeddingWire Network that demonstrate excellent quality of service, responsiveness, professionalism, value of cost and flexibility. This year’s recipients represent the top three percent of WeddingWire’s vendor community, which includes over 100,000 wedding vendors from across the US.

That means Flour Confections is one of the very best Wedding Cake Vendors. Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the company, the Bride’s Choice Awards are determined exclusively by recent newlyweds through surveys and reviews. “We are excited to launch this annual award program to honor high-performing vendors based solely on the experiences of our WeddingWire community,” according to Timothy Chi, WeddingWire’s Chief Executive Officer. “This year’s recipients have set the bar high, exhibiting excellent service and expertise in the wedding industry.”

Flour Confections would like to thank our past clients for speaking on our behalf and helping us win the 2009 Bride’s Choice Award! Your continued support is always appreciated, if you would like to write your review, be sure to go to WeddingWire
