Just nominated for a 2010 Allie Award!!!!

A couture linen for your cake table can make all the difference in the look of the cake.  If you’re spending the money for a beautifully custom designed cake you don’t want it sitting on a plain, white banquet tablecloth!

This is where I Do Linens comes to the rescue!  Tamara, the founder,  will custom design any linens for your event with her specialty being cake tables.  Our award winning cake was on a custom I Do Linens creation as well as the table on our website home page.

Brides come have breakfast at Studio Wed in midtown, then be driven around the city to see some of Atlanta’s top wedding venues!  Atlantic Limousine will do the navigating from venue to venue for you….five dates to choose from, or see all!

It’s NOT a wedding, but it’s NOT a typical bridal show.  You’ll witness a “wedding”,  see four different style vignettes with food to try and much more!  Sweet Sensations is participating in the Southern Glam and Enchanted Forest and we’re sooo excited about both designs!!

The vision for the Enchanted Forest is being brought to life by Danny of  The Savage Garden….it will be as if you’re a fairy coming home!  You will feel like you belong in the forest and it will, definitely, bring a smile to your face.

Aesthetic floral & event artistry is creating the Southern Glam vignette with a beautiful, soft look.  Picturing bright sunshine with bling!

There is a great list of talented vendors involved in this project including Mirabel Press, Ellyb events, Sandi Spells, A Divine Events, Studio 25 Productions and so many more.  You won’t want to miss out on it!  the Not Wedding….found out more about it!

Get Married, a multimedia company based in Atlanta, had a launch party last monday for the magazine that has already published two issues.  We had the honor of recreating their logo for a cake which was duplicated and blinged up a bit.  Here are some pro photos and some fun photos with the cake taken in the photobooth….

Sweet Sensations had the extreme honor of receiving the first place votes of our industry peers in the first, separate, cake competition for the NACE Event Design Trends!!!!

The gorgeous “Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend”  Matthew Christopher gown from Etain was the initial inspiration for the cake and I Do Linens took the ruffle element from the cake to design the stunning, couture tablecloth!  Tamara’s talent is a true inspiration, thank you!

Join Us For a Dessert Soiree

We are sooo excited to be participating in the NACE competition with our Atlanta industry peeps and this is the first time they’re having a separate award for the cake tables.  Last year’s entries by the catering companies were AMAZING!!  The public has an opportunity to go see these incredible tables, so register to come see what’s hot!

We are constantly asked if we watch “Cake Boss“…of course!  Buddy is a favorite of ours.  He’s nice as can be and gives his time to our baker’s group.

The star attraction of the Amerian Retail Bakery Exposition, in Charlotte, was Buddy Valastro and crew from Carlo’s Bakery of Cake Boss fame.

They built, along with the local culinary students, a life size NASCAR “car”…..2500 cakes, complete with an engine under the hood!

While the Carlo’s Bakery gang was out at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, the front fender of the “cake” fell off because the convention hall was too warm.  They stayed up until 3:00AM repairing and finishing it in time for the morning opening.

Joe Gibbs was the keynote speaker for the convention and as a NASCAR team owner, Buddy showed off the “car”…..Joe was pretty impressed, especially under the hood.
