Inspiration to Creation: Erica O’Brien Cakes (Part I)

Filed Under Food and Drinks, Inspiration to Creation, Vendor Spotlight 

The design success of our Jessica Claire ‘Voyage of Love’ workshop would not have been possible without the endless talent of the vendors that we worked with. We have expressed it many times before, but cannot emphasize enough the importance of working with vendors from cake designers, rentals, caterers, etc.. that are not only talented and reliable, but truly passionate about what they do.

Choosing the right vendors is so important that it is really worth the research. Because of this, we are going to be spotlighting the vendors from the Jessica Claire workshop. We asked Erica O’Brien about what inspires her cake designs, and she shared some great inspiration to creation stories with us.

Carl and Serena loved the vintage feel of their invitations, they asked Erica to recreate their invitations for their wedding cake.

Elizabeth and Marcus wanted the inspiration for their wedding to come from their invitation. They loved the idea of a single flower against a contrasting background. Erica OBrien created a handcrafted edible sugar flower to match their invitation.

We love seeing the insight and the inspiration behind the creation of our vendors. A truly talented designer will be able to brilliantly execute the vision and inspiration of the bride and groom into a design that exceeds their expectations. Erica O´Brien has accomplished this brilliantly with these beautiful cake designs.

We will be showcasing the photographs from the other photographers from the  Jessica Claire workshop, to show the different points of view. We will also continue to spotlight the talented vendors that helped us to make it all come together.
