A spring wedding

I know it's a little late in the day, but I haven't forgetten about the blog.  I have had quite a full day of spring cleaning (a few months late) and decided I must treat myself to a very cold cup of bubble tea with a warm chocolate chunk cookie tomorrow.  So come join me for a complimentary bubble tea in either Centreville or Manassas (through Friday, June 24) to toast my long-lost and very much forgotten about muscles!  And if you need help with your overdue spring cleaning, I offer up Victoria's muscles - she is fantastic, fast, efficient and remember to look for her in Manassas and she will be ready with extra large trash bags!

Well, after last week's wedding cake mishap, I thought you might enjoy one reading about one of our favorite wedding cakes we have done recently.  This cake was done about two months ago at the height of cherry blossom season.  The bride and groom really wanted to highlight cherry blossoms and had a special love of chocolate.  So they went with a three-tiered wedding cake with alterating layers of mocha and chocolate sponge cake iced with chocolate buttercream, then covered in dark chocolate fondant.  Since the cherry blossoms they chose have a hint of pink, they wanted to accent the cake with a thin pink fondant ribbon band.  We then piped some branches in a slightly lighter chocolate and made our own version of a cherry blossom tree.  The cake looked fantastic!  We were all in awe of how well the cake turned out.  The design was very clean and elegant, it had a touch of traditional with a very modern twist - WE LOVED IT!

 We also want to congratulate all the recent graduates.  Congratulations Class of 2011 and good luck on your next adventures!  Don't forget to stop by or visit our website at http://www.cakesbyhappyeatery.com/ for some sweet treats.
