For those of you who know me, you know I have a weakness for cake. I LOVE cake. There were just so many great cakes at the show. If I were a bride trying to choose the perfect cake, it would have been a tough choice. They were all so beautiful and skillfully made. Here are a few of the “Cake Artists” I had the pleasure to meet.

Iris Segal

Iris’ cakes are a work of art. The detail that she achieves with molding sugar is nothing short of incredible. I can only dream of having half the talent Iris has. I think if I had a cake that was made by Iris, I wouldn’t be able to eat it. Oh alright, I could because it would be delicious, but I sure would have a hard time cutting into one of these works of art.
Here are a few of Iris’ cakes that I just love.

Perfect for a winter wedding. Gorgeous and white and don’t you just love the feathers! Can you believe that the flowers are made of sugar?

flourgirls

The flourgirls are expert cupcake artists. If you are hoping for a cupcake tower, this is the company to go to. Susie also makes super cute cookies that are perfect for shower favours. She can also make tiny cookies that fit perfectly in our Ring Box - a great favour idea!

Allyson Meredith Cakes

Allyson’s cakes are edible works of art. Her hand crafted sugar flowers are gorgeous. I just love this cake. If I were getting married again, this one would be one that I would definitely consider.

These are just a few of the talented cake artists I had the pleasure to meet. I’ll be posting part 2 soon with even more gorgeous cakes.

January 12 -14, I had the pleasure of participating in the Wedding Show. Hosted by The Wedding Co., this upscale event was set in the lovely Carlu, a beautiful venue for a wedding.

It was wonderful to meet all of the brides and grooms who are planning their weddings. Congratulations to all of you!

Over the next little while, I’ll feature some of the talented vendors I had the chance to meet at the show.

This weekend is the Wedding Show at the Carlu in Toronto. I can’t wait. I love doing shows because I get to meet lots of great people and hear all about their fabulous wedding plans. I always want to get married again after hearing all of the creative ideas. If you do come to the show stop by and say “hi”. I’ll be at booth 54 in the round room. Here is all of the info about the show. Hope to see you there!

I finally have a picture of myself that I love. I have more than one actually, but these two are my favourites. Emma took them for me this weekend and I love them. Thank you Emma!
