Superfine at Unveiled, Beverly Hills

Two weeks ago we were honored to be asked to be a part of Unveiled: The Bridal Event held in Canon Gardens, just next to the Montage Beverly Hills. This outdoor couture event was a fantastic way to see the best of what Southern California vendors have to offer discerning brides.

Superfine contributed the above Mocha cake trio, featuring three shades and flavors of fondant -- right to left, we have a chocolate fondant, white chocolate, followed by mocha fondant on the far right. Each cake features a variety of styles of sugar "fabric" flowers, gold buttons, and a couple of ribbons featuring secret love notes taken directly from the actual notes of the bride and groom that inspired this trio.

The note on the smallest cake (above) says "I'll love you forever." If you look closely at the chocolate cake, you'll see a little ribbon on the ledge. That one says "You're the bomb, babe." Secret notes like this help personalize a cake the way nothing else can.

Presented along with our cake was a tasting-cake version of our Opera cake. Each slice was made with almond cake stacked with French mocha buttercream, then iced with chocolate ganache and topped with a thin sheet of 23-karat gold.

I wound the show down with friends and champagne on the adjacent Bouchon patio where we could watch the crowd mill about as the sun set. Some high points of the day included seeing friends at 100 Layer Cake, Green Wedding Shoes, Bouchon Bakery, the Montage (met and chatted with Richard Ruskell, current contestant and all-around upstanding chef at the Montage currently competing on Last Cake Standing for Food Network), and Margaret Rowe Couture Vintage Jewelry.

It was a great day and finishing it off with Kristeen LaBrot and Krista Mason was the perfect ending. Can't wait for the next one!
