It is a fresh baked honey ham that decorator Alberto cooked up for all of us, starting off the Thanksgiving feast a little earlier than most. The guys cooked up a turkey, beef brisket, and all the 'fixins as well...we'll be eating all day today and tomorrow.

Everything is happy-ning so fast this week. Thanksgiving in almost upon us, our newly remodeled Beverly Hills showroom is getting the final half of the Willms treatment (check out the new window!) and the cakes are getting bigger than ever!
One of the lovliest creations that we've seen all month is this very tall wedding gown cake. Layer upon layer of our most delicious Bridal White cake was hand sculpted by Jose to come up with this mannequin of cake; there is absolutely no fondant used on this (or 99.9% of our other cakes!)
Michael has created a Thanksgiving tableau which just whispers elegant. Our turkey cake is set off by a gorgeous arrangement of flowers created by our own Ruben Ramirez, and the linens & other furnishings are by Wild Flower, Classic Party Rentals, and Chameleon Chairs (love the leather!) The cakes are all by Hansen's (duh...)
We had an extra-specially great time at The Bridal Showplace event
on Sunday in Pasadena. We met so many engaged gals & grooms who enjoyed our freshly cut slices of our white cake with lemon filling, marble cake with tiramisu, and white cake with french butter creme & white chocolate chips. There wasn't a single slice left by the end of the afternoon, even with our creative cutting methods. We managed to shave out 125 slices out of each sheet! 
A festive mood fills the room today, as a rash of fresh designs have been ordered for the weekend. One of our favorites is this Hanna Montana/Mickey Mouse themed two-tier which seems to be bursting with positive energy. The colors and dimensional elements add to the youthful feel...you know there will be an excited "discussion" as to who will get to have the piece with Miley Cyrus' face on it!
