The most amazing thing about this appetizer is the amount of flavor in one portable bite. All of the favors of this southern favorite; creamy, spicy, and savory in one tiny morsel leaving your mouth wanting more!

This wonderful creation came about when our Sous-Chef wanted to make the traditional shrimp and grits dish more accessible and convenient for guests to eat with no more spilled grits or sauce on suits and dresses.

After playing around with several different ideas, he came up with the winning combination, a “bowl” of grits made by pressing grits into a mini muffin pan, letting them set and firm, then scooping out a small reservoir for the shrimp and creole sauce with a small melon baller. The now grits cups were then baked to a golden crisp and were ready for our Executive Chef’s own creole sauce made with fresh tomatoes and a deep brown roux topped with a beautiful pink Shrimp!

We love to show off our Groom’s cakes here at The Bake Shoppe, but there are so many awesomely unique cakes for guys that we had to split them up into categories to post! One of the most popular of these genres is sports themed cakes.

Baseball cakes are so fun and there are so many custom fondant pieces that can be added to make each cake unique. Aside from team logos, custom pieces could be anything from replicas of favorite baseball hats to vintage baseball mits, pitcher’s mounds, and more!

It is very popular for couple to ask for chocolate covered strawberries on their cake and most of the time, they adorn the Groom’s cake. We like to make them extra special and match the theme of the cakes if we can which is why we love these chocolate covered strawberries with little white chocolate football laces on  them.

This happens to be one of our favorite Groom’s cakes in The Bake Shoppe’s history! The couple sent photos of the Groom’s actual golf bag for us to replicate all of the details right down to his monogrammed golf towel.

We went with a vintage shabby chic theme this year and really feel like we have caputured the essence of the trend in these cakes. Hope you enjoy!

Trying  to incorporate a very feminine look to these cakes, our decorators too inspiration from dresses and accessories through the edible pearls, ruffles, appliques, and lace with the addition of delicate handmade sugar flowers.

Shabby chic usually has a traditional white and ivory color pallate, however, we couldn’t resist add a few pops of color here and there to add a bit of an eye catching easthetic to the design details.

 The covered pavillion in the courtyard is such a great spot for an outdoor ceremony. There are so many ways to customize this space as well! We have seen it transformed with such things as hanging lanterns from the rafters or stained glass window panels hung on the sides of the pavillion to combine the feel of a traditional church wedding with the great outdoors.

Karen and Brad’s Reception took place in the event center at Legacy Farms complete with dinner from A Catered Affair, dancing to tunes from JD’s Music, and cake from The Bake Shoppe.

The “See Rock City”  sign on the property is one of our many favorite photo spots on the property. It provides such a unique backdrop for bridal party shots!

We’d like to offer a big Congrats  and Thank You to newlyweds Karen and Brad for allowing us to be a part of their special day and share it with others! Hope their special day could be an inspiration to all those planning a fall 2012 wedding!

Classic Stucco Design- We just loved the Burlap Detail! And the flowers add such a feminine touch.

Fresh Berries and Shortcake – A uniquely light approach to the traditional wedding cake!

Vintage Rose Garden – Love that the bottom tier of cake is made to resemble a tree stump with the roses climbing up the top tiers!

Wood Grain – Awesome way to incorporate a monogram in a non-traditional way

Cupcakes- The use of pallets as display cases for cupcakes…genius!
