David Tutera
Pirate Theme
When we were asked to make a Pirate inspired wedding cake for David Tutera….we were super excited. The entire team was on the job.
The bottom tier was a scrunched fabric look with multiple metallic shades airbrushed in.
We created several edible treasure chests with jewels and gems cascading out
All in a days work
A handcrafted map with directions to a secret treasure was placed in the middle of the cake.
Bride and Groom Custom toppers finished the look.
We look forward to the next episode to film in late October.
Love is Forever
Cake by A Sweet Design
Since love really is forever, why not show it with your cake topper. This website makes toppers perfect for weddings with a Day of the Dead theme.
This awesome wedding cake is a perfect example of just how classy and elegant a cake can look with a little inspiration…from the other side
A few weeks ago we were asked to be a part of Maison Du Papier’s launch party, where we designed amazing cakes for her Tea Party themed tablescape.
More pictures and description of the tablescape coming soon….. Stay tuned!
Once upon a time Monique from A Signature Wedding called and asked if A 
Sweet Design traveled to Catalina Island, as in Avalon, CA 90704. The answer was a prompt yes.
Eli and Jordana first came in to try our cakes early this year. That’s when it happened….Jordana fell in love, with chocolate cake layered with orange buttercream, ganache and grand marnier.
During this cake consultation, I learned that Jordana and Eli were dancers. Real, fancy shmancy dancers. So it was without a doubt that this passion had to be incorporated into the design.
After months of planning, the day finally arrived, May 3, 2010. Brittini and I packed up and departed on the USS Catalina Express with backpacks filled with decorating supplies and a large box packed with the amazing cake. We made our way to the casino ballroom. We utilized the kitchen to complete final details. The one final detail that could not be completed until 5 p.m. was turning on the rotating topper. So, we had to kill a little time. First we discovered Armstrong Seafood.
Great clam chowder….and beer in a plastic cup (not so good). We walked through town and enjoyed a local festival. The Girl Scouts were selling AMAZING apple cheesecake bites…we just had to try. 
Coyote Joe’s caught our attention where I discovered the difference between a good margarita and a not so good one. 
Before making our way back to complete the cake, we had to try the mojitos at Luau Larry’s. They were amazing.
We had a great adventure and relaxing day. I hope that Jordana and Eli danced the night away after enjoying a sweet piece of cake!

I can not express in words how much I loved making this wedding cake.
When I first meet Scott and Valerie I realized how important their wedding day was. Valerie had really done her homework and new exactly which details she wanted front and center. Bravo! on a job well done. I just love seeing it all come together and Krista Mason Photography captured the day just perfectly. The Westlake Village Inn, as usual, offered an amazing background for the day. The Tuscan Garden is by far one of the sweetest spots at the Lovely Westlake Village.
I love how absolutley perfect the color of the wedding cake went with every little teal detail. The slices served where alternating vanilla and chocolate cake with bavarian chocolate chips and raspberry jam. To complete the look of the cake was whipped vanilla buttercream in just the right shade of teal. Hand made white flowers with teal centers and a brown fondant ribbon around the base of each tier completed this sexy cake.
The fabulous Katrina Centeno, of Calligraphy Katrina, has asked Lina Wallace of A Stunning Affair as well as Events by Heather Ham to join forces and plan a party for the launching of her invitation company, Maison Du Papier. This is an event is for brides and event professionals. So come and enjoy good company, great food, entertainment and most importantly see beautiful samples of Katrina’s new work. This amazing event is on April 8th, 2010 from 7-10pm.
On our Madhatter tea party inspired table, A Sweet Design, will have on display cute trends for 2010.
I know that I am not supposed to admit that I had a bite of cake tonight…but I did. If my trainer reads this, I’m busted. It was our chocolate cake with nutella buttercream filling. Oh-my-goodness….the feeling of bliss usually reserved for events like finding a great pair of heels on sale was in full force as the melt-in-your-mouth nutella made friends with my tummy.
I don’t want to brag and I shouldn’t be so forward…but Damn…our cake is moist, delicous and worth every single calorie.
Have you hugged a cake today? (well…you probably shouldn’t, it’s a bit messy)

Keep in mind that a wedding cake may have a combination of regular cake tiers and a separate cake tier that is WF/GF and no one would know the difference. Cake consultations for wheat free cake options are $25.
I love the idea of celebrating your birthday at Lucky Strike Lanes…it’s all inclusive. You can drink it up at the bar, eat great grub and toss a heavy round ball as fast as you can at perfectly still targets. I love it!!!! When Virginia decided to have her husbands 40th birthday party at Lucky Strike she knew she needed a cake that was equally fun. Since John is a drummer, what better cake idea then a bass drum. Fondant covered and filled with yummy coffee buttercream and chocolate ganache.
“Thank you sooooo very much for the amazing cake you made for John’s 40th B-day. Words can not express how amazing your work is and it soo fit the event with his love of drumming. The taste….OMG delicious! To this day I am still hearing about the cake and how amazing it looked and tasted! Everyone is asking me who the baker was, so I was happy to refer you to all our friends. Everyone who worked at LuckyStrike was asking me who the baker was too!” – Virginia
