Vendor Highlight: Kristyn Hogan Photography

The spark for Kristyn Hogan Photography initially started with a 10 yr. old little girl dressing up her little brother and neighbor girl as a bride and groom, picking up a camera and bringing make-believe to life.  At 18, she had the pleasure of shooting her first “real” Bride and Groom and was hooked!

kristynhogan_1327837883_o Since then, she has been capturing moments on film with her husband. They believe that a wedding isn’t just a day, it’s the full experience.

Kristyn leaves this note to Brides on her website: From the moment you met the one to the day he got down on one knee. Through all the planning to your beautiful wedding day to the rest of your life. It’s a journey. One that we love to share and a story we are honored to tell.

Check out a small sample of Kristyn’s work!  We’d like to give a big THANK YOU to Kristyn Hogan photography for sending over some fantastic photos of some 2011 Bake Shoppe cakes!

When choosing a groom’s cake design, it can be a little tricky to find the cake that so perfectly captures the style and personality of your guy. Generally, the couple chooses designs based on a Groom’s interests, hobbies, clubs, favorite tv shows/movies, or sports team.

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.

Here, in the South especially, Groom’s cakes have become a long standing tradition. It is practically the only part of  the entire Wedding where the choice is entirely his, so isn’t it fair that he have a cake as uniquely wonderful as he is?  We’d love to show you some of our favorites from The Bake Shoppe!

Everyone knows that presentation is key when it comes to wedding cakes. Why not take that statement to the next level? There are so many ways to beautify the outside of cakes from sleek fondant covered tiers to handmade sugar flowers, but what about the inside?

When thinking about the cake itself, flavors are not the only important factor anymore. Layering different colors and flavors of cake can create such a wow factor when the cake is cut and served to guests.

This top tier of a wedding cake from The Bake Shoppe has been artfully layered with luscious dark chocolate, red raspberry, and creamy sour cream almond cake. Not only will it taste delicious, it becomes a piece of confectionery art on every guest’s plate!
