We recently got to work with some of our favorite vendor friends (like Atomic Tangerine Films, above) at the gorgeous Barnes Foundation wedding of Lindsay and Harrison. If you’ve ever been to the Barnes as a museum visitor, you know how gorgeous the space can be when it’s used for weddings. We love that they always display our cakes in their Annenberg Court with a stunning courtyard background.
The Barnes Foundation features incredible high ceilings and fabulous architectural details everywhere you look. It really does make us feel like our wedding cakes are works of art, just like the priceless collection of paintings displayed steps away!
Quite frankly, it’s exciting to get a backstage view of the museum as we come through the staff entrance and high security loading dock to deliver cakes. The Barnes Foundation features many, many priceless works by artists like Renoir, Matisse, and Picasso, so it’s serious business. But the Barnes staff is always so welcoming and kind to us as we move big cakes through the building, holding doors and pointing out exactly where we should go. It’s a treat.
This couple chose a unique vertical buttercream texture for their cake, and the incredible team of designers/florists at Sebesta Design added a tasteful cluster of fresh flowers to complete the look. The couple chose our amazing carrot cake and chocolate midnight cake, both paired with our signature vanilla buttercream. One nice thing about textured buttercream wedding cakes is that they can be a wonderful blank canvas for flowers, and the type, amount and arrangement of flowers can completely customize the look to match the rest of your decor. Sometimes we add the flowers on-site, but in this case, the cake was in good hands with Sebesta.
Last but not least, we must mention that it was a treat to work with our wedding planner friend Christiane Lehman of Truly You Events. Chrissy has worked with us countless times over the years, and she always gives us a big hug at every event (we even made her wedding cake in 2012). She’s one of those special wedding pros who is not only a fabulous planner from a logistical and design point of view, but also just a flat out good person to be around. Chrissy makes everyone around her feel noticed, and she always knows just what to say or do to energize the huge teams of people that come together to make spectacular weddings happen. She is a 5-star (maybe even 6-star) wedding planner and friend.
Congratulations to Lindsey & Harrison!
