Rubina's Cake Shoppe

We had the pleasure of creating a one of a kind wedding cake for “The Office” actor, Oscar Nunez and his bride, Ursula Whittaker. Oscar and Ursula’s laid back and humorous personalities made my consultation with them one of the most enjoyable consultations I have ever had. We discussed a few options for flavors and designs and they knew what they wanted in their cake right away.

They asked for a cake that reflected the bright, summery and simple atmosphere of their beach wedding but was traditional at the same time.  The cake was a traditional three tiered round cake covered with organic, refined-sugar free ivory and yellow fondant. A vibrant vine with leaves of various shapes, sizes and shades of green climbed up the cake. The vine was adorned with white and yellow cherry blossoms, hand-made out of organic, refined sugar-free gumpaste and royal icing.

Ursula asked for an organic cake which did not contain white sugar and white flour, so we  created flavors just for the couple. The first flavor they chose was a  naturally sweetened organic lemon cake with layers of lemon curd and lemon buttercream, frosted with honey buttercream.  The second flavor was a  naturally sweetened organic chocolate cake, layered with chocolate orange ganache, frosted with chocolate orange buttercream.

The ceremony was held at The Beach Club in Santa Monica.  Ursula wore a simple white slip dress and was one of the most beautiful brides I have seen.  Their wishes of  a simple wedding that was about the ceremony, love for each other,  and love for their friends & family really shined through.

The couple was kind enough to send us pictures of the cake cutting ceremony taken by their friend and the following quote the very next day.

” Rubina!  The cake was so delicious!  Hardly any left!  I literally stole a
piece of lemon cake from a friend so I could taste it, and it was
divine.  You did a beautiful job.  “
