About Us

It all started in about 1996. I was a bride-to-be planning my own wedding. My fiancé and I were frugal students, and I was a bride on a budget.

Geneva bakery in Colma, CA whipped up the BEST cake I have EVER tasted: white chocolate frosting, white cake with fresh raspberry filling. We saved the top in our freezer for our first anniversary…but it never made it. I ate it ALL.

about us

Just like many other wedding planners, my desire to plan weddings came from planning my own. I’m sure you’ve heard the story before. Bride plans wedding, totally emerges herself in everything “wedding”, falls in love with “wedding”, gets married and decides to become a wedding planner! It’s called “wedding” withdrawal.

How can you possibly *not* deal with color swatches, fresh flowers, butter cream and live music on a daily basis?

about us

So I did it. I became a wedding planner.

I got certified with the Association of Bridal Consultants and earned a Wedding Consulting certificate at SF State. I planned weddings mostly by word of mouth from Tahoe to Marin and back. I met a lot of wonderful people and established some great lasting relationships.

Weddings turned into baby showers, then 1st birthday bashes, then auction dinners for elementary schools. And now? I’ve chosen to keep my Saturdays and weeknights free to spend time with my family, and do a select few events through out the year.

about us

When I’m not planning a big fat party, I’m in the kitchen baking, mixing, creating and exploring. Do I bake and design cakes? You betcha. Cakes marry the worlds of design and culinary - my two favorite things.

Do I want to be a professional cake baker? No way, I'll leave that for the pros. I’m perfectly happy baking cakes for family and friends, and writing all about my favorite wedding cake designs and wedding cake toppers here for all of you.

Cheers, and Enjoy.
