Smith-Gormley Wedding at The Carolina Inn
I met Alex and her mom in March of 2012 and from the first
moment I was excited to be included in this wonderful event. Admittedly when I
received my first emails about Alex and Zan's wedding I wasn't sure what to
expect but the fact that they share an almost identical name, Alexandra and Alexander,
proved to be almost a private joke amongst those in the know.
Alex and her mom Karen were such a delight to share cake
with and discuss designs. They had a pretty solid idea in mind already so the
hard part was figuring out what kind of cake to get. They chose classic pound cake filled with
white chocolate ganache and iced in a traditional buttercream. They had images for me to work from and
everything was set.
Fast forward to around August of 2012 and I get an email
from Alex’s mom saying they’d like a groom’s cake as well. This time pound cake covered in luscious fudge
frosting. The had a special topper for
his cake that they wanted to share and so we now had two cakes.
Continued reading the email and she decided they wanted to
make sure they had plenty of cake so they also got a sheet cake, or kitchen
cake, to be cut in the kitchen and served to guests. No need to leave any boxes!
All I can say is that it was a lot of pound cake but it
looked beautiful. It was a project that,
when complete, you could step back and say, “Yep, that’s exactly how it should
look.”
