Winter Wonderland!

We had three weddings this past weekend. Two were cupcake’s with edible snowflakes on the top of each one. 425 cupcakes total!

The decorations at the reception halls were absolutely beautiful!
Silver was the accent color for all three, I love how all three came out.

Enjoy the pictures…

November Weddings

November, last big wedding month of the year, (at least for us). December and January are filling up nicely however. This month was one busy month – business and personal. November 5th had some great weddings, and the biggest date of the month 11.11.11! Add to that my sister-in-laws wedding on the 12th that I had to privilege of being the maid of honor in. It was a busy, crazy week, but I wouldn’t change anything .

Here are the pictures from this month. I hope you enjoy them. I will add blog posts periodically through the winter, just not as much as the summertime.

Enjoy!

Cake Cutting

arlenesweddingcakes — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 21:58:08 +0000

Most cake deliveries are done when everyone is getting ready for the big day. So most of the time we don’t get to see the brides face when she sees the cake. We also don’t ever get to see them cut the cake, so when I received these pictures from two separate weddings I was so excited to see them. I love the looks on their faces! Awesome.

A huge HUGE thank you to Danielle from Captures Life Photography and Katie from Katie Whitcomb Photographers for sharing with us these fantastic photos.

Also included are cake cutting pictures from a wedding we did and attended back in July…
Thank you to Erin from ErinBurroughPhotography as well.

Fall is the best season. The best smells, colors… everything! I love a good fall wedding too. Had two this past weekend with that theme.
Also included are pictures from the 1st of the month, fantastic weddings then too!
Congrats to all of our brides and grooms!

Enjoy…

This post has nothing to do with the cakes we have done for the past few weeks. However this is my sister-in-law and her fiancé. I will be blogging about their wedding in November though .
Now I in no way claim to be a photographer. But when asked to takes pictures every now and then I’m always glad to. So I wanted to share some pictures with friends and using Facebook just doesn’t do any justice. So here they are, my little attempt at photography. What do you think?

Hi all!

Really can’t believe it’s the end of August already. This summer has flown by for us. It’s been a busy couple of weeks so I’m a week behind on posting pictures. We’ve had some new reception places that are just amazing. One wedding was overlooking Lake Michigan from a top a hill, it looked wonderful! And the weather was perfect that day.

New place for us was Mill Creek Barn by Watervliet. I just love older rustic buildings. I included a couple pictures of the inside…

If your a bride and groom of ours and have a wedding story you would like to share please email your story and a few pictures (include one of the cake cutting too) to beth@arlenesweddingcakes.com. We’d love to feature you on our blog.

For now enjoy the pictures…

My favorite this week was the cupcakes that went to St.Mary’s college, half of the cupcakes were next to the sweetheart table and half across the way. It was a very cute setup, some of the cupcakes had strawberry filling in them….yum!

More cakes from this weekend…
