CS Brides Magazine Feature with Cake

Oh, how I adore the skilled and talented hand of Mary Winslow of Cake. The very first time I met Mary she was decorating a cake for one of our brides at Cafe Brauer. My jaw dropped to the floor when I realized what she had created. The very detailed embroidery on the bride's gown she replicated exactly onto the cake! It was unbelievable!! From that point on, I couldn't recommend Mary enough!

Years later, Scarlet Petal has had the pleasure of decorating her cake display for CS Brides magazine. Below is an excerpt from the feature along with a photo of our display. You'll find this on page 158 of the December 2012 issue. Enjoy!

Natural is in.  And, that's the approach Mary Winslow of Cake: Sweet Food Chicago and Scarlet Petal designers took when creating this outdoor cake table extraordinaire.  Featured in Modern Luxry Brides Chicago Social,. the setting included one-tier, two-tier, and three-tier cakes with contrasting styles by Winslow, accented with casual alternating floral designs and visual accents by Scarlet Petal.  A sweet treat for the eyes and palate..

Chicago Social Brides Magazine Feature: Clare and Tommy

I was so excited when Misse from Honeybee Weddings informed us of Clare and Tommy's wedding feature in the new edition of CS Brides Magazine. We both worked together to make their day unforgettable. They were such a lovely and simple couple and you can tell by the pictures that their day was full of joy! (A big thanks to Misse of Honeybee and Bella Pictures for capturing the details of their special day - see photos below.)

When I met with Clare almost 2 years ago, she came in to our studio with a clear vision of what she wanted - a wedding straight out of Martha Stewart Magazine. The color palette was gorgeous in shades of apricot, peach, coral, and melon. She was a whimsical bride with a modern side, so we incorporated these styles into her personal flowers and reception decor.

We had such a wonderful time creating the decor for their big day. Thank you again Clare and Tommy for making us a part of it!
