So, I got married a little over a week ago. It was literally the best day of my life. Things were crazy (as they always seem to be) in the days leading up to the big event, but everything went like clockwork for both the rehearsal and the big day.

Now, to answer the question everyone seems to ask me: Did you make your own cake?? I did not. I like to think this is one of the reasons I still had my sanity on our wedding day :) I did, however, supply a sketch to the caterer (Jeffrey Miller Catering) and they made the cake to my specifications.

Final Product:


The bottom tier of the cake was hazelnut sponge cake with chocolate butter cream and the top tiers were lemon pound cake with a raspberry filling. They were both very delicious and I was happy to say that in the taste department I don’t think I could have done better myself.

(side note: these photos are not the ones taken by my photographer. I will update with the more professional photos once I get them.)

I also baked cookies that were given as favors at the reception:

I wrapped each in a clear plastic bag and tied each with a bow - I am not sure whether I have pictures of that coming to me or not - I know I forgot to take a picture of that myself. I will update the post if one comes my way.

All in all, I was very happy with the baked goods at our wedding :)

For my most recent cake commission, a friend of mine asked that I not only make a cake that they intended on giving to a friend of theirs, but that I let them watch the process and teach them how I do it. It made for a pretty fun evening. Some pictures of the cake making process are below as well as the final product.

I made these cupcakes for a small event (25 people or so). They are vanilla cake with vanilla frosting.

As you may or may not have noticed, I have been on a bit of a hiatus this summer. The reason is that I have been preparing for a move to Washington, D.C.

Well, now it’s official. Crazy Amy has moved to Washington, D.C. I’m still working in advertising and doing the cake gig on the side. What this means for all of you who visit the site is that I am now taking orders for cakes in the Washington, D.C. area rather than the New York area. So, I suppose good or bad news depending on who you talk to :)

I am looking forward to getting to know the area and meeting new people, so should be fun and interesting times ahead…
