If you are a cake fan, there would be nothing worse than losing your baker two weeks before your wedding.
Sadly for Kendra and Nate this is exactly what happened.
Luckily for Kendra and Nate, their photographer was my friend Samantha. They mentioned their plight, and were sent my way. Normally, bakers like a good 4-6 months before a wedding to plan
everything and get their schedule arranged. Looking for a baker 14 days
before your wedding generally means you aren't getting a cake.
It was tight, but I knew I could make it work.
His and Hers Cakes
The neat thing about this cake is that there was actually 2 of them... a his and hers - something to reflect both of their interests.
From our first conversation, it was clear that their previous baker didn't really include them in the decision making process, and they had no idea what their cake was going to look like. After asking a few questions, I came up with a quick sketch that they fell in love with. Not bad for 20 minutes while at work:
We met a few days later and made a few small changes, and they could rest easy and focus on more important things.
It wasn't easy - they took a lot of time to figure out how to make everything work. I had never really done anything like this. My monkey cake was just a couple of monkeys I made following a tutorial. There was no tutorial for all of these - just pictures and stuff around the house.
It took a better part of a week to get all the bits made just right, but man was it fun!
Have a look:
Congratulations Kendra and Nate.
