As the 2011 wedding season is winding down, it gives me time to reflect on the amazing people that have touched my life this year.

As a wedding cake designer, I feel really blessed to be doing something that I love, and so honored to be a part of one of the most special days in so many couples’ lives.   A wedding cake to me is more than a cake.

I would like to share a few of my thoughts with all future brides…

Cutting your cake represents the first task you and your spouse will do together as a married couple.  And you perform this task in a room full of people you love the most.  And the best part of all… not only to you share the event, but you share a piece of the very cake.   Sharing your wedding cake with them is an invitation to them to share the rest of your lives.

One piece of advice I can give to all couples who will be married next year is… while at the reception, take a moment, stand against a wall and just look around.

And when you do, realize that everyone in that room is someone you love.  Your friends, his friends, your family,  his family, now your extended family,  all together.  This is one of the few times in your life where this will happen.  The event may only take a few hours, but you will have the memory of that moment forever.  And so will everyone in the room.

Take the moment…  freeze that picture in time.

That will become as they say… “Priceless”.

It’s been my honor to be a part of that day with so many couples this year.  I look forward to next year’s weddings, birthdays, and special events.  Planning and tastings are already taking place.

I love my job.
