Let Us Eat Cake!

This week we had the pleasure of meeting Megan Fitzroy of the newly opened Fitzroy Specialty Cakes and Pastries, and what a sweet treat it was! Ms. Fitzroy brought us cakes with lemon mousse, red velvet and cream cheese, yellow cake with chocolate ganache, and the Private Receptions favorite of chocolate with peanut butter mousse and chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmm, thanks Megan!

Unique Cake Tips from Sugar Flower Cake Shop!

by Amy DeGiulio, Owner Sugar Flower Cake Shop

A wedding cake, symbolic of the bride and groom’s love, is the most photographed object of the day, yet in the current economic environment brides are looking for ways to economize without sacrificing the overall look.

  • DIY – To save money, many brides turn to a close friend or family member who can bake a wedding cake, but these home bakers usually lack the necessary decorating skills.  Clever brides turn to Sugar Flower Cake Shop for flowers individually handmade from sugar that can be added to create truly stunning cakes.  The flowers can be shipped anywhere in the world and preserved as lasting keepsakes after the event. The flowers can be shipped anywhere in the world and preserved as lasting keepsakes after the event.
  • Simplicity – The Chic Cake Collection by Sugar Flower Cake Shop was designed for those searching for an elegant special occasion cake that simply expresses their chic style.  This allows brides the option to move away from custom designs by choosing from an array of six styles of cakes and decor options. This way brides are able to mix-and-match to achieve a more personalized look without the custom cake price point.

Sugar Flower Cake Shop creates special occasion cakes from local and sustainable ingredients featuring realistic-looking flowers that are handmade from sugar.  Their work has been featured on the STYLE Network, in Martha Stewart Weddings magazine and in Brides New York magazine.
