In case you didn’t get to see Jenn’s post, I was given the honor of creating Ansley’s dream wedding cake last weekend! And if that wasn’t already such a special moment, I was also tasked with restoring their third generation cake topper!
The cake topper, an original 1970’s Wilton production had yellowed quite a bit. Its flowers were crushed and wires rusting from being stored in between Grandmother’s wedding, mother’s wedding and now for the grandson’s beautiful bride. Every artist has a handful (or more) of side hobbies in their arsenal and thanks to the years of painting experience my oldest daughter has, I’ve picked up on some of her tricks of the trade. That along with my best friend’s teachings in silk flower work, I was thrilled to restore and personalize this heirloom!
I have been so blessed with comments of adoration of this cake’s taste, beauty and craftsmanship from so many people that I am beaming with pride! Not only was the cake beautiful, but THE VENUE 😍 what an exquisite location! If you’re looking for the most spectacular place to have your wedding, Stone Haven is absolutely THE most stunning vision of perfection with its gorgeous conservatory and stone balcony to hold your ceremony on a mountain, overlooking the Tennessee River! (Seriously Jenn…I saw your post months ago and immediately started drooling 😍)
Thank you, Jenn and Ansley for asking me to help complete your wedding dreams! It was an honor!
