editorial, weddings, and personal life
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. The Merrimon Wynne house was originally built in 1876 and […]

Cake and ice cream is as natural and as classic as peanut butter and jelly or spaghetti and meatballs – but even sweeter! And our collaboration with Two Roosters Ice Cream in Raleigh takes this winning combo to the […]
I’ve always considered my mom to be my best friend. Even as a teenager. Even when she wouldn’t let me go to the club at 15. She’s my biggest cheerleader, confidant, and sometimes by most genuine critic. So working with mother and daughter duos who have a special relationship is bittersweet to me. 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 […]
When your couple is an absolute dream to work with you, the bride is a wedding planner, and they’re are just so adorable, you know their wedding is going to be one for the books! Then their wedding day comes and you are proven right. With the help of C and D Events, Leah and […]
Hey, brides! Hey, other wedding vendors! Have you checked out The Barn of Chapel Hill yet? No, this isn’t a paid ad, but I just want to make sure that you know about this cute new venue in the Triangle. For years I’ve been hoping and praying that our area would have a venue that […]
