WINTER WONDERLAND WEDDING

Aloha! One reason I moved to Hawaii was because I love the warm weather and the beach. The first year here was great. I lived on the North Shore right on the beach. I was in the water everyday soaking up the sun! As the years have gone on I realize how much I miss the snow. Just around Christmas and then it can go away and be summer. When Lisa contacted me earlier in the year about her wedding I was stoked to find out it was a winter wonderland theme wedding. we get so many requests for beach and summer theme cakes but not many people request a snowflake themed cake. I was super excited to meet with her and design her cake. We met one morning and our tasting went for almost 2 hours. Mainly because we were side tacked about so many different things. It was nice talking to her and really getting to know what she wanted for her wedding. When we finally designed her cake we could see it come to life. And I could not wait to make it. Not only did she want a cake but she wanted everyone to have snowflake cookies as favors.

So the week of her wedding came around and I was excited. Her cake came out beautiful. I even added an extra surprise of placing lights in the snow at the base of the cake. Very tiny lights. It added a little extra sparkle. I am big on lights on a cake!! I have never seen it done in Hawaii and I wanted our cake to stand out! And this winter wonderland cake did. It was such a great way for me to start my holiday season!

I was able to sneak down to see Lisa and she looked beautiful. Her dress was so beautiful and had beading that sparkled like falling snowflakes. She had a glow about her as well. You could tell she was truly happy.

Thank you to Lisa and George for letting us make the winter wonderland wedding come to life with cake. We wish you many years of love and happiness and look forward to making more cakes for you in the future! Congratulations.

Enjoy these pictures and I hope it inspires you to dream about the magic and warmth that snow can bring. Happy Holidays. For information and pictures check out out site at www.sunshinescakecreations.com
