Stella & Dot Cakes

Four of our very own cake bakers, The Cake Artist, Covered with Icing, Relish: A Unique Eatery, Bakery, & Catering and Yaya's Cake Shoppe, were all featured on the Stella & Dot blog for the cakes that they created for the 2012 Clarksville Brides Wedding & Event Showcase cake competition. Each cake was inspired by a different piece of Stella & Dot jewelry, provided by Stella & Dot Independent Stylist Michele Gayler. Click here to visit the Stella & Dot blog, where you can read about each cake and see photos from the competition by Bethany Ann Photography. "From pearls to baubles, see how four artists each created an edible Stella & Dot masterpiece, playing on the design elements of our jewelry." -stylewatch.stelladot.com

Kristin & Mark: The Cakes

ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding: Kristin & Mark


"Kristin's Bridal cake was full of flavor and style. The cake was a 4 tier cake with each layer being a different flavor. The bottom tier was a lemon flavor with raspberry filling. The next tier was a pistachio with a pistachio mousse filling. The next tier was a luscious chocolate with a chocolate ganache filling. The top layer was a lemon cake with a lemon filling. The grooms cake was packed full of flavor as well; it was a key lime cake. There was no absence of flavor and the guests had plenty to choose from. The bridal cake was decorated with an off white butter cream icing with an eggplant colored intricate lace scroll work. Kristen and Mark were a joy to work with I wish them many happy years!" -Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

Morgan & Ed: The Cake

We're still sharing details from Morgan & Ed's ClarksvilleBrides.com Featured Wedding today! Gayle Howard, owner of Yaya's Cake Shoppe, shared with us the delicious details about the bridal and groom's cakes.

"The Bridal cake was an elegant 4 tiered cake, the entire cake was white cake with ivory buttercream icing. Applied over the ivory buttercream was a white royal icing lace stencil design. A creamy yellow fondant ribbon was added around the bottom of each tier with bows on two of the tiers and beautiful broaches supplied by the bride for an added elegant touch.

The Grooms cake was red velvet cake with cream cheese filling. The cake was a whimsical cake with two hunters sitting atop the cake. One designed to depict the groom and one his father. Sitting back to back aiming their guns at a turkey and a deer. Along the sides of the cake were UK logos as the groom is an avid UK fan." -Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

Cassie & Greg: The Cake

Today we're sharing more details from Cassie & Greg's wedding day, and we are on to the cake! The happy couple chose Yaya's Cake Shoppe to create both their wedding cake and groom's cake.

"The Bridal cake was a 4 Tier square cake. The flavor was white cake with two of the layers being filled with lemon. The cake was iced smooth with white butter cream and decorated with yellow fondant ribbon and a large yellow bow on top. Both the ribbon and bow had hand painted white polka dots on them. On the second tier from the top there was a pear green monogram with the couple’s initials.

The grooms cake was a chocolate cake decorated with fondant and butter cream icing. The cake top was decorated to look like a baseball field with a large Base ball cap on it. The cap was made from rice krispy treats covered in white chocolate and then covered in fondant. The sides of the cake were decorated with butter cream icing and then a sign was made to go on the side of the building with fondant and an icing image." -Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

YaYa's Cake Shoppe

Today is all about getting to know Gayle Howard! Gayle is the owner, cake baker and decorator of Yaya's Cake Shoppe. I was hangin' around the Yaya's site when I read this wonderful bio about Gayle and why and how she started her business:

"My Name is Gayle Howard and I've baked cakes for years, although they were just for my family and friends. After my daughter's wedding in 2009 I had so many people asking me if I would make cakes for them. Just a few months after her wedding the building materials supplier I worked for closed their doors after 130 years in business. It was then that I started thinking about how I was going to make ends meet. Things started to fall into place with the help of family and friends...With their help I decided that opening my own specialty cake shoppe could be an answer to my prayers. So we built an addition to our home to serve as my cake room. I have always loved baking...I look forward to working with you & designing a cake for your special occasion."

NEW Cake Photos

I LOVE checking out new photos of wedding cakes - they're perfect for finding wedding inspiration and really, they're just pretty to look at! :) We have a couple new cakes from Gayle Howard of Yaya's Cake Shoppe.

This first photo (to the left) features a 4 tier square cake, consisting of yellow cake with white butter cream Icing. Yaya's decorated the cake with white swiss dots and kelly green scroll work around the bottom of each tier. The topper was made from fresh flowers supplied by the bride.

Photo number two (to the right) is of a round 3 tiered cake, each tier composed of a different flavor. The bottom tier was a white cake with raspberry filling, the middle tier was a lemon cake with lemon filling, and the top tier was a coconut cake with a coconut sour cream filling. Yaya's iced the cake with butter cream icing and decorated it with edible pearls and handmade fuchsia gum paste flowers.

Lovin these new cakes via Yaya's Cake Shoppe! You can view more cake photos in the Cake Gallery on ClarksvilleBrides.com.

Bridal Fest Recap

Yesterday, we stopped by Bridal Fest, a bridal show in Bowling Green, to visit a couple of our local vendors, Covered with Icing and Yaya's Cake Shoppe. Both of their booths were LOADED with delicious samples!




Gayle Howard, of Yaya's Cake Shoppe, made some oh-so-adorable mini cupcakes, displayed on a beautiful tiered cupcake stand. She also brought some gorgeous examples of her wedding cake designs, including this beauty that I just had to post! (photo to left)

We then headed over to visit Heather Noble in her Covered with Icing booth.

Heather brought some yummy cake samples and, my personal favorite, cake truffles! I thought this was just the coolest thing (photo to right) - what an awesome idea for centerpieces! Guests can have a beautiful display, as well as a delicious dessert, right at their table!

Thanks to Covered with Icing and Yaya's Cake Shoppe for sharing your booths, and samples, with us!

Cake, anyone?

Sunday/TOMORROW :) there's a bridal show in Bowling Green, KY, Bridal Fest 2011. While this isn't necessarily a local event, it is going to feature some local vendors. Two of our top cake decorators, Covered with Icing and Yaya'a Cake Shoppe, will both have booths at the show.

The best thing about a cake booth has to be the cake! Covered with Icing will be bringing Pink Champagne cake (HUGE hit at the Clarksville bridal show), Spice cake, Traditional White and Chocolate Cappuccino! Brides should "stop by my booth to sign in for a chance at drawing for a gift certificate towards $50 off their cake order and see some new color trends for 2011."
-Heather Noble, Covered with Icing



Yaya'a Cake Shoppe will be bringing mini cupcakes (adorable!), featuring a variety of flavors. "I am taking chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate ganache, Strawberry with cream cheese icing, Red velvet with cream cheese icing, white cake filled with raspberry and lemon with lemon filling and butter cream icing."
-Gayle Howard, Yaya's Cake Shoppe

So, my Clarksville Brides, if you do make it to Bowling Green this Sunday, January 23rd (again, TOMORROW), don't forget to stop by Covered with Icing and Yaya's Cake Shoppe's booths to help support our local vendors!
