Twenty Years of Parties
Where do the ideas originate to create your cakes? It all begins with a client’s vision – a party theme, a custom look we design to fit their style, vibe, or simply a photo found online. In this case, our client Catherine – who hosts many WOW parties every year - is unique in that she designs her own vision on CAD for us to bring to life in cake. This year was her 20th ANNIVERSARY of this annual event! Catherine sent us computer mockups for three different book stack formats to represent the 20 years of history she’s had hosting this party: the crazy-tall stack of books encapsulated 13 years of party “titles,” the upright bookshelf covered 6 party themes, and the open book represented this year’s 2021 celebration. Catherine orchestrates multiple incredible parties every year, and people vie for an invitation! The gifts, the entertainment, the decorations, and of course the cakes! This year saddened my heart because she is home sick and was unable to attend her own affair. With her husband's career at SPACE-X, it seemed fitting that Catherine couldn't be at the party, so she arrived as a ROBOT - gotta love tech-smart people! she "arrive to the party" as a robot - dedicated as ever to ensure her guests celebrate in style. This woman is UHHHH-MAZING! The narrow cake design would have been extremely narrow and precarious to stack, so we agreed that part of the [...]
ServiceNow 2019 Kickoff Party
One of this year’s biggest wedding cake trends, the BAC (big ass cake), is not just for weddings. Our corporate clients have taken notice (maybe they saw our Trend Report) and are opting for statement sweets at their meetings and events. What an honor it was to work with such a celebrated, up-and-coming company, like ServiceNow, to create a BAC for their Annual Kickoff Party. ServiceNow, headquartered in Santa Clara, is a cloud-based computing company with a huge presence in San Diego. Their growth is just astounding and, as a result, their 2019 Kickoff Party at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego topped over 1,000 guests. The Hyatt is one of San Diego’s largest venues and the perfect location for such a grand celebration. We relate so well to ServiceNow’s corporate culture and goals, including a zest for work-life balance and a love of surfing, the beach, and all things San Diego, so we wanted to create a completely custom BAC design that incorporated all of these ideas. Of course, a cake with multiple tiers allows for a variety of fillings and flavors. This year, ServiceNow selected three delicious flavors including Marbled Vanilla-Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Cream, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese filling, and Blackout Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Buttercream for their celebratory sweet. If you’re wondering how to decide which flavor to try, the answer is… you don’t. You try all three!
