WooHoo! I got first! I love these two cakes! Can't decide which one I prefer - so can I have one of each please?! No? Dammit!!
What makes a bride a "special" bride?
Just me being nosey again!!
They're gorgeous.
What sort of cake is used typically for wedding cakes over there? In Australia it seems that fruit cake (like you often see at Christmas time) is used. Is it the same?
oh wow they are beautiful mhhh raspberry, chocolate and butter cream man i need to quit coming here no wonder I can't loose weight!
meherenow:
FIRSTS!!! LOL! Wow...it's been a while for THAT! :-D
Ahhh....well, these 2 particular brides both read my blog on occasion, that's a HUGE plus! LOL! ;-)
Actually...I know you missed a lot that was going on here...my shoppe went thru a LOT of changes since Dec. 21st, my Dad was hospitalized suddenly & nearly died. I am the only person in the immediate family who can drive, so I was forced to do practically everything at once for several months as there were several medical screw ups and he ended up in different hospitals. (Errands, doctors, taking my Mom to & fro as that was previously my Dad's job...and trying to still take orders in the shoppe as that is our ONLY source of income for 4 of us. The good news? He's finally starting to get better & with all that chasing I lost even more weight! yippee! lol)
But...both of these brides were ULTRA patient and beyond understanding when it came to meeting/talking with them about their cakes.
Also, at that same time, I had 1 bride cancel her wedding cake order because I could not be in the shoppe to meet with her "immediately", even when she knew what was going on with our family...and she was local, it's not like she was driving any distance to meet with us!
caramaena:
Thank you!! :-D
Actually, I will go out on a limb and use the word 'never'.
Wedding cakes are never fruitcake in the US.
In England they are, most of the time I believe.
Here, once upon a time, they were all white cake white frosting ... you know, keep in touch with the 'virginal' theme. lol.
Now anything goes!
Cheesecake
Devils Food Cake
Carrot Cake
Red Velvet Cake
A lot of really delicious combinations!
katy:
LOL!
I suggest you get yourself some good stress in your life. That helped me lose a lot!
:-S
But that's not fun either. :-(
lol.
oooh jin!
spectacular!
i love the chocolate one with pink icing especially!
Nice use of the "z". I'm a fan, for sure.
Zowie! Munkee like!
Wish you could make my cake. Pretty.
Except for yucky lemon.
I think the first one's just gorgeous.
Mmmmmmmm, I can't decide which one I want to taste first...
They both look scrumptious, but mom always DID tell me never to judge a book by its cover ;) So I guess I'll NEED a sample. LOL!
***Don't you hate BRIDEZILLAS?*** I've always found it interesting how some women turn into complete idiots when it comes to planning 'their' day... Not like the groom or families have anything to do with it, right?
If I were an impending groom, who's soon to be bride turned into doom,
Her less than friendly disposition
Would guarantee a prompt separation
Those are so absolutely gorgeous, Jin. I wish you lived closer so I could taste some of that stuff.
They're simply beautiful..both of them! Can we sample them to decide?
angel:
Thanks!! Me too!!
I love almost any bright soft colour with dark dark chocolate!
Mint green looks really nice, too.
andy:
Sounds way more hip, doesn't it?!
;-)
ace:
LMAO @ 'yucky lemon'!!! :-D
Thank you!!
How goes the wedding plans?
(or should I not ask? lol)
I have only had a very very very few 'bridezillas'in 15 years...really! I'm so lucky. I know how they act on tv. LOL!
HAHA! LOVE the poem!
:-D
Brilliant!!!
tiff:
Ahhh...if I ever come into lots and lots of $$$ I'll have to take a trip cross country and deliver goodies to ALL my blogfans!
YAY!
lol
:-)
M:
When I meet up with you n jewels you are EACH going to get your very own Wedding Cake to eat (a BIG one! ;-).
Who the heck says you have to have a husband!
Am I right?!!?
Oooh, I want to lick the spoonS!!! ;)
Joooolie:
Hey! I just realized I left you a comment up there without your name on it!
But, you knew it was yours...right?!
;-)
Course you can lick the spoons!
Can I try on your beadzzzz???
Haahahahaaaaa!!!
:-D
Absolutely amazing!
How do you make these things Jen. I can't even make toast!
Gorgeous as always!
Dan!
How's my fave vegan prince doing this weekend?!!?
Aw, you are too kind...and I have a feeling you are a master in the kitchen. I'll let you prove it, too. What time shall I be there for dinner???
;-)
CP:
Thank you!! :-D
Ahhh...you are such a tease with your most recent posts!!!
(Yes, I've kept up...will get back to my usual commenting soon.)
Were the two brides marrying one another? :-P
You are just so talented! Those cakes are awesome!
Did you go to catering college? Someone must have taught you to do things like this?
I always sit and marvel at people that could do ice sculptures with chainsaws and building intricate sand sculptures and such like. I think they are amazing.
I just got an idea:
When I come visit you, I'll bring a shipment of pearls along with me. You make us a fantastic huge cake, I'll fill the tub with the pearls. We can then 'bathe' in the pearls, whilst eating your yummy, yummy cake! LOL!!!
Oh, and yup! I DID know it was for moi! ;)
Huggles!
Ok I now have an image of two women in a tub floating around in pearls and eating cake. Who says you can't have your cake and eat it?! :D
kingcover:
WELCOME!! :-)
haha...they were not marrying each other, although it is one of my *not-so-secret-now* dreams to be asked to create the cake for a "guy + guy" wedding. I mean, think about it... they would put on a faboulous 'to-do' & order an equally fabulous wedding cake! :-D
I am blushing at all your sweet compliments! :-D heehee.
No *formal* cooking/baking education for me. It's in my blood! lol. Well, there was a pastry chef trained in France that I worked with for a while, but that's about it.
However, I cannot carve an ice sculpture but I would LOVE to hold a big powerful chainsaw in my jinhands & give it a go!!!!
;-)
jewels:
EEEEeee!!!
Heeeheheheee!!!
You know if we recorded that we'd be the two most popular chix on the net!
;-)
*Hmmmmm.....*grin*
Whadya say we let kingcover watch for ... oh ... well ... how much would we charge for that???
I thought I commented on this post... I musta been high...
The cakes are as beautiful as always Jin!
Oh, and I have the camera set-up to record the bath scene, just tell me a time and place ;)
How about we let him video tape it, while wearing a BLINDFOLD!!!! Can't let the boy have TOO much fun now, can we? ;) At least he can still hear our moans of delectable pleasure.... Let his imagination take over
EWD WILL be OURS!
Hee! Hee! ;)
*blush* HA!
Have a good day with your buns and cakes, lol.
So beautiful!! I love the first one. Will you make my cake the next time I get married?
KIDDING!!
i got somethin for yaaaaaaa...
rich:
Thanks!! :-D
Um...well, gee....but, you'd only be doing it for professional reasons, right?!
You'd pretend to see two fully clothed human beings instead of two nekkid chix covered in pearls and pastry. Right?!
Right?
Right? Are you there?
{{{{{RIIIICHHHH}}}}}
jewels! I think rich ran to get his camera equipment. Yes, yes...EWD WILL be ours!!!
;-)
kingcover:
*jin waves*
Wow! My cakes look GREAT today!
...and the buns aren't half bad either. *ahem*
;-)
Thanks jlee!
Haha! Well then, how's about a "Renewal of Vows"?!
;-)
angel:
Heeheeeheee!!!
COOL!
You are pretty 'rockin' yourself! :-D
The pink cake reminds me of a Chanel suit. Beautiful!
thanks...can't wait for my very own cake. Perhaps for a "Payback Not Bridal Shower for Not Ashley"
sarah:
AHA! I hadn't thought of that...it does!!!
This is one of my fave styles to create...or maybe I just like working with all that chocolate!!!
:-D
M:
Question #1
When are you planning your "Payback Not Bridal Shower for Not Ashley"?
Question #2
Will Thong Boy be there?
;-)
Hahaha, oh Jin!
Like any camera professional I've filmed more interesting stuff than that without batting an eye lid. As long as the composition in the camera is fine, we don't care exactly what's on the screen.
PS. that is a total lie, it's just something we tell the girls s they feel comfortable taking their clothes off
Haahaha! Does it ever actually work or are you still perfecting the line?!!?
;-)
Ah hell...who am I kidding...if you are a man and have a British, Australian, French or Jamaican accent I turn to mush & will probably do anything you say. But I don't think that will work on Jewels.
Ha! Of course the line works, of course, you need to do one other thing to make sure... add alcohol.
Sad but true...
Ahhh...then you'd have me with the accent and you'd get jewels with the alcohol!
Haaahahahahaaaaa!!!!!
um...or not.
:-D
