Delicious Desserts-and yes, they're delicious!
I am in awe of the talent we're gathering for the myKPW family and Lisa Raffael is no exception. At the KPW studio we've been lucky enough to work with Lisa and her team a few times this past summer and have experienced both her fantastic level of customer service and have also eaten many pieces of their cakes... all I can say is FANTASTIC!! Located on Cape Cod, a lot of Lisa's clients request a more seaside feel to her designs, but we want you to take a look at all of her designs and learn a bit about this incredible pastry chef! Bon appetit! KP

Vendor Advice and Trends - Jennifer Luxmoore from Sin on Wedding Cake Decisions
Jennifer Luxmoore from Sin shares with brides great advice and insight on choosing a cake for the big day. Check out just some of Sin's fabulous creations below or visit their website at www.eatwicked.com.
- Fondant does not taste bad!!! Yes, it's very sugary, but it should taste like a marshmallow... yum! There are even new fondants out there that are flavored like buttercream. If you're having a wedding in the middle of summer, fondant is your best bet for the cake holding up and looking good.
- Have a design idea in mind before you meet with your cake designer. Look at magazine, websites etc. You don't have to know exactly what you want, but if you have a few ideas of what you like and what you don't like, it's a lot easier to come up with a design for you.
- Be adventurous. It's one of the only times in your life when you're going to have a cake that's a piece of art. Don't do the ribbon and dots, everyone does.
- Think seasonally in design and flavors.
- Ask your baker if they make cakes from scratch, using real butter, vanilla's etc. Mix batters just aren't as good.
- Your cake designer is there to work with you, so speak up and tell them what type of look you want, but also be open to their ideas.
- If you have a maximum price, let the designer know, many times they'll be willing to work with you, or at least offer up designs that will fit in that budget.
- Give swatches if you want a specific color. Most designers can match anything.
- If you want an interesting and personal cake topper, ask your cake person, they may be able to point you in the right direction or make something themselves!
- If there's a flavor combination that you want and don't see, ask... many bakers like to try out new flavor combinations.
Jennifer also shares with brides some current trends:
- Round cakes are making a come back; square is passe. Metallics seem to be trendy lately.
- Interesting color combinations such as grey and yellow, silver and orange, chocolate brown and light green will be popular over the next couple of years.
- Cakes with the couple's interests and personalities displayed on them are popular too. Groom's cakes for rehearsal dinners--it gives the groom a special time that reflects his interest.
