Wedding Cakes in New York City

I'm addicted to WeTV (channel 59 if you're in the NY metro area). One of their new shows is called, "Amazing Wedding Cakes" and it's absolutely fabulous! The first episode I watched featured NYC wedding cake designers, Lauri Ditunno and Ruth Drennan from The Cake Atelier. What caught my attention was their insane attention to details. Both are true perfectionists. Recently, I visited their website www.thecakeatelier.com, and noticed that the two designers have parted ways to start their own respective businesses. Congratulations Lauri and Ruth! Now, you can find Lauri at www.cakealchemy.com and Ruth at www.ruthdrennancakes.com. The one thing I love about Lauri's style is that she refuses to put anything inedible on her cakes. So, all of the flowers and decor are made of sugar and are totally fine to eat! No real flowers are added -- which is great! For those of you who don't know, the majority of flowers in the US are sprayed with chemicals like fungicide that are obviously unhealthy for us, and also harmful to the environment. So, if you want to avoid poisoning your guests, ask for handmade sugar flowers instead! FYI, the orchids you see in the photo above are made of sugar! Aren't they lovely?
