About UsIt all started in about 1996. I was a bride-to-be planning my own wedding. My fiancé and I were frugal students, and I was a bride on a budget. Geneva bakery in Colma, CA whipped up the BEST cake I have EVER tasted: white chocolate frosting, white cake with fresh raspberry filling. We saved the top in our freezer for our first anniversary…but it never made it. I ate it ALL. Just like many other wedding planners, my desire to plan weddings came from planning my own. I’m sure you’ve heard the story before. Bride plans wedding, totally emerges herself in everything “wedding”, falls in love with “wedding”, gets married and decides to become a wedding planner! It’s called “wedding” withdrawal.How can you possibly *not* deal with color swatches, fresh flowers, butter cream and live music on a daily basis? So I did it. I became a wedding planner.I got certified with the Association of Bridal Consultants and earned a Wedding Consulting certificate at SF State. I planned weddings mostly by word of mouth from Tahoe to Marin and back. I met a lot of wonderful people and established some great lasting relationships. Weddings turned into baby showers, then 1st birthday bashes, then auction dinners for elementary schools. And now? I’ve chosen to keep my Saturdays and weeknights free to spend time with my family, and do a select few events through out the year. One of my very favorite events, is a baby shower. Mostly because, it's a chick fest! Generations of women come together to celebrate, all aspects of baby showers are adorable, and the day is filled with lots of "oohs" and "ahhhs". I'm happy to say that I've planned as many baby shower personally, that I have professionally. I've even been the guest of honor at baby showers, just a few times. When I’m not planning a big fat party, I’m in the kitchen baking, mixing, creating and exploring. Do I bake and design cakes? You betcha. Cakes marry the worlds of design and culinary - my two favorite things.Do I want to be a professional cake baker? No way, I'll leave that for the pros. I’m perfectly happy baking cakes for family and friends, and writing all about my favorite baby shower cake ideas here for all of you. Cheers,
and Enjoy. Return from About Us - back to Baby Shower Cake Ideas
