My husband and I got married on October 31st. Our phenomenal wedding cake and beautiful cupcakes were created by Kelly Leishear of Bella's Cookies.
Our wedding was on Halloween and we really wanted to embrace the spirit of the Holiday so we looked for a baker that was willing to get creative with cake decoration. To make things more challenging we needed the cake to be vegan as I (the Bride) live a Vegan lifestyle. We were having a difficult time trying to find a baker that could accommodate a vegan wedding cake and those who said they could started asking us for recipes. We were getting pretty worried. By pure luck, we discovered Bella's Cookies through a friend of the family. We discovered that Kelly Leishear is not only a fantastic baker but also an extremely creative one. She went above and beyond to give us the Beetlejuice/Halloween look we wanted, even going so far as to take sculpting lessons to create the beautiful and incredibly accurate fondant Sandworm that decorated our black and white striped wedding cake. The cake was decorated with bright green vegan white chocolate drips, purple piped icing, and topped off with vegan sprinkles and glitter. The cake itself was a bright, lime green lemon cake that tasted as good as it looked!
Can't forget the cupcakes!
We let Kelly know that we were going to decorate the cake table with mini blacklights so it would be really fun if the icing was bright so it would react to the blacklight. Boy did she deliver! The cupcakes were a mix of different flavors decorated in bright orange, green, purple, and red icing, and topped with Halloween sprinkles and glitter. Some of the cupcakes had fun, surprise icing colors in the inside. For example, you bit into a cupcake with green icing and you find orange in the middle. Kelly really thought about the fine details.
Kelly was also great at giving us advice on how to get the cake we wanted within the limits of our budget. She really went above and beyond to work with us and give us advice on how to best display our cake and cupcakes. She got to know my family as we ordered cupcakes and cookies from Bella's Cookies for the Bridal Shower and Rehearsal Dinner. Kelly even anticipated the need for a small amount of Gluten Free cupcakes for my brother's family before even I did. We look forward to ordering our anniversary cake next year
Our wedding day was absolutely the best day of our lives and the cake and cupcakes were a perfect addition to that day. We can't thank Kelly Leishear enough and we highly recommend Bella's Cookies! read more
