In seeking out vendors to feature for my blog posts, I came across Emily of When Pigs Fly Pastries. To better be able to recommend vendors to future brides, I was seeking out vendors I have already worked with and can easily vouch for or vendors that I absolutely love and really wanted the opportunity to work together. When I came across Emily’s work, I fell in love with her creations and really wanted to do a feature on her. In the meantime, I can happily say I’ve also had a chance to actually work with her when we worked on my first stylized shoot (more on that later!). Emily made not one, but THREE cakes for this shoot and I LOVED them all. They were so incredibly beautiful (in an elegant and simple way). She knew exactly what I wanted when I described my rustic, naked cake vision to her and she couldn’t have achieved it in a more perfect way. And to add icing to the cake (a little Roxy humour ;) ) .. we were able to enjoy her delectably yummy cakes at the end of the shoot.

At the shoot, we also managed to do an impromptu mini shoot in the rain, getting some lovely photos of Emily and her cakes and getting to know her a little bit better. I love Emily, she has a wonderful personality and is so incredibly helpful. She gave me so many great ideas and has so much knowledge on weddings in general. I would recommend her in a second if you’re looking for a gorgeous cake or your wedding. :) I also love how her fun personality and sense of humour shines through in these photos and find it remarkable that she’s only been doing this job for three years but has already gained so much recognition in the business and does such incredibly amazing work. For a very detailed portfolio of her gorgeous creations, visit her website.
