In the beginning of December I received and e-mail from Alison inquiring about her wedding cake for January 1, 2009. Her and fiance Brian were coming to Hawaii to be married. Alison requesting a cake that was shaped like the world and she had a cake topper to b placed "on top of the world". What a great way to start the new year!
I was excited to make this cake. Because she explained to me that she lives in China and Brian is in New Orleans. The world represents so many things for them. One that they are half a world apart right now and two that they want to travel the world together and see many different things together. What a great concept for a wedding cake. The cake topper was just as awesome. A couple walking on the beach. And the cake topper looked just like Alison and Brian as you will see in the pictures that follow.
So I made the world with all the continents and added The Hawaiian Islands so they will always know where the the marriage started.
Alison and Brian used Hawaiian Eye Weddings and they got married at Waialae Beach Park. It was just the two of them and they looked radiant. When I went to deliver the cake I waited until they were finished with the ceremony and pictures. I am very lucky to have stayed around until after they cut the cake. Its not often I get to watch my couples cut open the cake and eat it. They choose our very popular Strawberry Shortcake. Brian told me before he was not a cake eater at all. When they cut the cake they loved it so much they went back for another piece. We can turn non cake eaters into loving cake!! What a great feeling.
Alison and Brian's wedding cake was great start to the new year for us. I am very lucky to have met them. They were such a wonderful couple to work with. We hope they have many years of travelling and being "on top of the world"
Congratulations to both of them! And thank you for letting us share in your special day.
As soon as I get some professional pictures I will share them but for right now this is what I took.

Hi Vikki, it's Alison, I was soooo happy with the cake, it was exactly what we were hoping for. You completely understood the concept and then went above and beyond to make it amazing! Brian and I could not get over how wonderful it looked and tasted. We'll be talking about the cake for the rest of our lives, I'm sure. Thank you so much for being part of our biggest day of our life, and for waiting with the cake when we went later than we expected.
Hello Alison!
You are very welcome. It was our pleasure to make your cake for you both. It was a very unique cake and I am glad we could meet your expectations. I am glad we could stay and see you both cut and eat your cake. It was fun. We wish you both many years of happiness. Congratulations again.
vikki
