I always love working with up-and-coming vendors because they always bring some fun and fresh ideas to the wedding industry. I’m so happy with how Monique of Keys Events pulled everything together for this timeless and elegant styled shoot at the Mims House. We overlaid delicate lace piping over butter-yellow fondant. Hopefully, a future bride […]

A few months ago, Taylor and Matt got married at the historic Carolina Inn on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. It was a beautiful day filled with heartfelt details and I had the pleasure of making their classic wedding cake for the reception. Taylor and Matt chose a simple buttercream design for their wedding […]

I’m sure that everyone knows how much I LOVE the little details that make each wedding special. So you can only imagine how I excited I was when I delivered Brittany and Taylor’s cake at the gorgeous Merrimon-Wynne House. Alex of Alex Austin Events and Cotton Social did a fabulous job with this stunner of […]

A few weeks ago, I had the honor to showcase some of my sweets at the Merrimon-Wynne Winter 2019 Bridal Showcase. If you’re not familiar with it, the Merrimon-Wynne House is an absolutely stunning wedding and event venue right in the middle of downtown Raleigh.

While I […]

Unfortunately, I rarely see the bride and groom on their wedding day and that always makes me a little sad. While it was a treat to hug Cierra before she walked down the aisle, I was low-key broken up that I couldn’t stay for the entire thing. Thankfully, Annie was on hand to capture all […]

Confession: I was not a fan of Gatsby-inspired weddings. Maybe it was the flowers.  Or maybe it’s that I thought every Gatsby inspired cake looked super similar and a little juvenile. But then I did one for my cousin’s wedding and realized that there was so much variation that could be incorporated.  So when Emily of […]
