OCEAN BLUES FOR THE BRIDAL SHOWER!

Usually baking cakes is not typically one of the things that I do here at Ditzie Cakes but it was a challenging request that I didn't mind taking on. I will also have to admit that one cake severely had a cake flop because it towered so high! Gratefully, I did not wait until the morning to add the coconut to the sides of the cake! By witnessing the disaster by six o'clock the evening before,  I knew I had until midnight to prepare a brand new cake! Well, we decided to make it one layer less this time and it was a huge success! Damn! The uncertainties of cake baking as this was my first disaster ever but so happy that I had time to make another! So the menu was a Pina Colada {my unfortunate cake disaster} Lemon Blueberry with white chocolate buttercream and a Hazelnut  Mousse Ganache. I was also pleasantly surprised with my first attempt to do an Ombre buttercream! Yes, we will try more ombres in the next cake challenge for sure!

SWEET MARIANNE'S BIRTHDAY SURPRISE!

I love being able to surprise a customer with something SWEET! By the way, I found some fun Circus Stamps at Michael's again in their dollar bin as of course I was walking to the check out! I couldn't resist them with all of these wonderful animals wearing their silly little hats! So they were perfect for the occasion...just need a really good ink next time so that they are darker! Oh well...

Happy Birthday to a dear customer of mine, Marianne! Nicole and I tried to sneek these pretty favors in so it would be a great surprise with one of your favorite flavors too! XO- Andie

A SOUTH COAST GARDEN TEA PARTY!

This was such a  nice afternoon Garden Tea Party with a private affaire by the South Coast Marketing Group! The ladies enjoyed a few sweet temptations along with their coffee and tea with these delightful pairings. There was my favorite Carrot Cake, Lemon Zing, Passion Fruit and the infamous Double Shot Espresso! I am excited to be asked again to cater next week as they have asked Ditzie Cakes to return for another Tea Party!

JENNIFER+ANDREWS WEDDING DAY!

This was Jennifer and Andrews beautiful wedding day on a quaint home ground in San Juan Capistrano! It was collaboration of efforts where the Mother of the Bride supplied some beautiful vintage-ware and I had the privilege to arrange and style it all together! She also made her daughter and future son in law's wedding cake but I had the fun of plucking some flowers and succulents from the garden to give it the finishing touch! I think I just may start growing these in my own garden for a future occasion...I just love this look. Everything looked amazing and you should have seen how this sweet home with a little barn in the back was the perfect setting to host a gorgeous home spun wedding!
