My wonderful dentist, Gwen, commissioned a wine-themed wedding cake for her very intimate reception at her sprawling custom-built, Tuscan-inspired estate in Tustin Hills. She and her fiancé, Dave, are wine enthusiasts, they have a climate-controlled wine cellar in the bottom level of their house, as well as a champage room, and even a grape-crusher and wine bottling machine!
Instead of one large cake, we did individual cakes for each table, with different wines commemorating events in their life...the Dom Perignon bottle was popped when Dave proposed, the Veuve Cliquot marked the completion of the house, etc...can you tell they like wine?
Each wine bottle was copied exactly as the original, and the cake "boxes" were different flavors of cake and matched the logos on the wine bottles.
Welcome to the little world of Sweet Gems Cakes!
I am a young cake studio, located in beautiful Huntington Beach, California, and I specialize in all matters of cake design, from simple weddings to elaborate carved sculptures. There is so much happening in my work, and this is a chance for my loved ones to keep tabs on me, and see all the cool things I get to make (as I never get to see them because I work all the time). So please, enjoy the photos and my pathetic attempts at humor...
Yes, I really do!
