Our Favorite Things!

So today let's stray from the norm of cakes and pastries & well--think about a few of our favorite things!

I have to start by first extending my praise to high school classmate of mine, Lauren Methia of Lauren Methia Photography whose photographs blew me away at a recent Bridal Shower and Wedding that I attended she shot- absolutely amazing work! I highly recommend her for any event- wedding, shower, family portaiture--you can find her at www.laurenmethia.com



Another of our favorite things... Persimmon Restaurant in Bristol, Rhode Island! Find owners Champe and Lisa Speidel serving local and very very special fare at their cozy and friendly restaurant. I bumped into Champe, the owner, at a speaking engagement at Johnson and Wales University College of Culinary Arts-- we were both speaking to a class of Juniors and Seniors.

Wedding Cake: Buttercream Tiers with Real & White Chocolate Seashells, Silvershell Beach, Marion Massachusetts

Every once in a while we pick out an oldie-but-goodie photo- this happens to be a scan of a photo- i apologize for the blur! This wedding cake, from 2004, features four tiers of ivory buttercream with real and white chocolate seashells. A champagne ribbon wraps the bottom of each tier along with a crowning of ruskus leaves on the table.

This round buttercream wedding cake is very tall and slender which gives it a contemporary feel.

This cake was for a wedding at Silvershell Beach in Marion, Massachusetts.

Round Buttercream Birthday Cake: Where in the World?

This cake was created for a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner. The couple are avid travelers so the cake included a world map and tacks to mark their vacation locations.
We also included sugar pieces to indicate their hobbies: cooking, gardening and travel.

The cake is a buttercream cake with sugar art designs. The cake flavor included carrot cake.




We received this nice note from the party planner...

Dear Meredith,

I have been meaning to write and keep getting side tracked (Mother's Day Tiara 5K Road Race is coming up). The cake was beautiful, delicious and captured perfectly the vibe we wanted to have. Thank you so much!! Everyone loved the cake, and I look forward to future occasions so I can order again. Really splendid!!!

The Artisan Kitchen's Cake @ Garden of Cakes, Boston Flower Show 2010

Our cake made it to the Boston Flower Show at the Seaport World Trade Center today. Although the rain caused an two and a half hour traffic jam, our cake is safely on display along with 11 other cake designers from around New England.

We must have gone through 40 different design ideas from birds and a nest to branches with small blossoms to an applique design and even a hand painted woodgrain "faux-bois" design. But in the end Jody worked her magic with a classic New England Spring Garden Theme, it was the Garden of Cakes! With all tolled over 20 hours of love, handpainting and sculpting of our completely edible garden adornments on the top of the cake was put into this design. Thank goodness the rain didn't stop us from getting to Boston!


Here is Jody our oh-so-talented artist with our cake in Boston:



A full view of our four tiered garden and a close up of the hand painted garden scene....and finally our Garden Cake Topper: tiny sugar adornments from a garden in bloom: a flower box, a wellie boot and even a trowel and bucket.....









We chose this particular design because we are a small bakery set in the pine trees and stonewalls of the woodland and country setting of the South Coast of Massachusetts, we are lucky to open our windows and hear the birds and look at our beautiful gardens on the property and our cake design reflects that!

A few other cake designers asked if the design was airbrushed, and absolutely not, this is handpainted in food coloring with a "OOO" and "00" brush!
