Camera cakeCamera cake back

This groom’s cake was made for a wonderful groom with lots of hobbies.  Photography is one of his interests, so we created an edible camera made of graham cracker cake with peanut butter mousse filling.  The edible photos represented some of his other hobbies like running, hiking, biking, air-force football, and of course his new bride!

Congratulations Carrie and Kyle!

Jackie

Jackie Cooke moved from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to Denver, Colorado four years ago, when she began a career in public accounting. During her spare time, she often found herself in the kitchen; she has always had a passion for the pastry arts. Her recent marriage inspired her to re-prioritize her life and allowed her to realize that work can be enjoyable! Shortly after having this epiphany, she met Rachael Teufel. Rachael kindly gave Jackie a chance, despite her lack of formal training. Jackie has already learned so much from Rachael and continues to learn more and more each day. Her time thus far at Intricate Icings has further solidified her love for cake design.  Despite her career change, Jackie still finds herself in the kitchen during her spare time, in addition to enjoying the outdoors.

Bride and Groom

The bride and groom topper has been around for many years.  They have been updated since the 1950’s when they were most popular.  They now come with a more modern flare and can be made to resemble the bride and groom.  You can even customize they to your favorite hobby, like skiing.  One of my brides used her parents topper from 25 years ago.
