Let Them Eat Cake

Those have to be the best words you could ever hear! From Fondant, to sugar flowers to butter cream or red velvet to just plain vanilla cake- We wanted to see if the Bakers where up for our challenge of creating a "non-traditional" wedding cake, and they met our challenge and more!

The idea came to us about non-traditional wedding cakes from a bride-to-be, who wrote in asking:

Hello,

I wanted to know is there any Bakeries that do non-traditional wedding cakes? I'm not a very traditional bride and want something that isn't so safe and that you don't see everyday. Can you all do an article highlighting this type of wedding cake?

Signed: Non-Traditional, San Francisco, CA

This started us on our quest; our first stop is Texas, Missouri City, Texas Exactly!

We met LaTasha Taylor Owner of Londynz Gourmet Bakery; from the moment we started speaking with her you could feel her love of baking.  This young entrepreneur started her love for baking at a very young age in her mothers' kitchen and was later encouraged by the love and support of her husband and family to open up her business.  We asked LaTasha, to give us a unique, one of a kind wedding cake and this talented Baker did not disappoint us!  We give you Londynz Gourmet Bakeries Pillow Wedding Cake:

This just took our breath away from the moment we saw it.  We asked her where did the inspiration come from with this cake and LaTasha stated "The bride I was working with wanted her theme to be comfort.  She stated that she loved the pillows on her bed and wanted to have something that was a representation of what she loved and this is what came to mind".  We where just blow away by this so we asked are there any other non-traditional wedding cakes that you have created?  LaTasha, stated "Oh yes! I have a bride that is in love with Hello Kitty, so I'm in the process of creating this for her."  We couldn't wait to see it and let me tell you it looks just like Hello Kitty!!

Karen Boyd-Rohde, history reads almost like a legendary book of Bakers.  Her Father and grandfather worked originally for Fred Bredenbecks and in 1954 when Mr. Bredenbecks mother passed away he asked Karen's father and grandfather if they would like to purchase the business.  The building is very quaint and historic looking and catches your attention as soon as you see it:

We asked Karen to give us a little insight on how they go about helping a bride who is looking for something a little more non-traditional.  Karen stated "first you have to kind of get into the brides mind so as to really understand what they are really looking for.  They may want something non-traditional but, they also may need a little direction on the concept of the cake.  When we sit down and do a consultation we do a ruff draft to get and idea and then we build on it from there."  We asked what have been a few of your challenging pieces that you all have created?  Karen stated "I guess our Gothic cake and the Motor cycle cake.  They took a lot of hours and prep time for us to get it just so."  We are so amazed at all of the creations that Karen and her team are able to really produce and how life like the cakes are, we would like to show a few of there cakes:

Karen and Diana are really true artist and you can see this from the wonderfully designed cakes that they are producing and we was honored to have the opportunity to interview this amazing and ever so personable Baker.  To learn more about Bredenbeck's Bakery visit: http://www.bredenbecks.com/
