Our Fine Friends in the Industry

Laura Christin Batisfore :: Laura Christin Photography

Laura is not only a darling person and beautiful woman inside & out, but she is truly one of the finest photographers we’ve ever had shoot our cakes. She has an awesome knack for angles and moments, and we could not be more blessed to have her so inspired by our cakes…Yeah, Laura!

Kyle & Kaiya Karges :: San Diego High Definition Weddings

Kyle is our newest buddy from Weddings of Distinction and a real character. His team filmed us at work and put together just the coolest little vimeo video for us, showing a particularly heavy Red Velvet cake day. Yum!

Lisa Gossmann, Sales Manager :: Behind the Scenes

We love Lisa, what a gem! She operates sales at one of the world’s largest scale catering companies, located right here in San Diego. Kick-ass worker, super organized manager, and rockin’ mom she is.

Chef Scotty Wagner, Executive Chef & Owner :: Chile Co. Catering

How does one even begin to describe Scotty’s talent, charisma, and creativity? He rocks! We loved creating his sister’s wedding cake and have almost always managed to sneak a snack of his fresh, organic styles whenever possible – so delish.

Jay Miller & Donna Sly :: Creative Catering

Offering the best value we’ve seen in catering, Jay & Donna are a fantastic team effort. Their food is delicious, fresh, and affordable – a combination not easily found these days.

Heather Balliet, Owner :: Amorology Weddings

Damn, these Amorology weddings are amazing! Heather’s whole family gets involved, from building décor to florals to designing an incredible stage of wedding bliss. She is the vision of grace and cool, such an organized coordinator; it is our good fortune that she found us as a cake company.

Rachel Welland, Owner & Coordinator :: Bliss Events

Congratulations on Rachel’s own honeymooning this year! Rachel and her team throw a serious party with every dotted ‘i’ and crossed ‘t’ to perfection. We know that any wedding Bliss Event organizes will be smooth as silk.

Andy Hagenah, Owner :: Disc Go Round DJ & Video Services

Super cool, Andy is so calm, collected and professional. We think he’s so great; Donna even hired him for her own wedding. What a fun night he gave her & Nick!

Merrylin Brichmann, Disc Jockey & Emcee :: Artistic Productions

Rock it, Sister! Merrylin is so cool, the perfect party animal DJ – electric energy and fabulous dance music. We think she’s one of the most fun people in the biz…

Dawn Stone :: Embellishmint – Floral and Event Design Studio

Gorgeous flowers, insanely cool design technique, such an amazing touch with elegance coupled with creativity, Dawn and her team are true artists. With a little help from Maximus (see “Paws & Smell the Roses” blog), her talents bring every event such beauty, it brings tears to the eyes…

Ellie :: A New Twist Hair and Makeup

There are not many make-up artists around who have such a delicate hand and the ability to make brides look so radiant. Ellie is fantastic and just a funny, delightful character to make the last minute beauty details that much less stressful.

The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe

Wow! If you have not seen this property, you have not felt the essence of Southern CA. This is Mediterranean luxury with a rustic touch, engulfed by blossoming roses and lush green lawns. Chef John cooks up fresh, delectable foods, Marianna runs her events with class and perfection, and the service team provides seamless grace.

The Bahia Hotel

If you want a great value at an Oceanside property (or even ON-OCEAN site), talk to Tracey Amernick and the Bahia team. Choose between 2 super fun bay cruisers or multiple event rooms for the party. Ceremonies on the beach segue into relaxed, let-your-hair-down fun!

Susan Ashley-Howell, Owner & Consultant :: Romantic Travel

Susan will take care of everything to save you the nonsense of booking your honeymoon while you should be planning your wedding. She’ll make sure you hear about all the cool things to do while you’re away and help save you $$$ to enjoy the romance as well as adventure on this glorious dream vacation.

Elizabeth A. Seaton, Owner & Paper Stylist :: Posh Paperie

Posh Paperie makes unique, individual invitations and cards for your event. Everything is so hand-crafted, we are always so impressed by their artistic abilities, even as designers ourselves. These girls will go out of their way to make your invitations so impressive, your guests will want to keep them to frame.

Lola Chaney :: West Coast Print Brokers

Probably the coolest lady we’ve met this year, Lola has proven herself over & over again with professionalism, speed, efficiency, and results in printing. She finds the best deals, turns around the product faster than we can keep up with our answering machine, and still has the best come-backs to any joke I could ever tell. We think she’s the $%#@! Go Lolita!
