It is about more than just cake at Just Fabulous! Custom Cakes & Sugarscapes, it���s about creating memories. The ceremony, the feast, the bride���s dress, flowers, venue, family and friends��� celebration, and overall romance are what make up ���The Big Day.��� But things would hardly be complete without the cake-cutting ceremony. Designer Ellyn Gimbel knows what it takes to make that moment unforgettable. Her cakes are museum-worthy. One look through her portfolio speaks volumes of her talent. Gimbel meets personally with each couple in an effort to understand their ideas, tastes, and expectations. During the consultation she discusses important elements such as the event���s location, colors, and overall feel. The tasting segment of their meeting is relaxed and pleasurable, as couples mix and match ���deconstructed��� varieties of cake flavors and fillings. Gimbel draws sketches to help them visualize the final work and offers an opportunity to make changes on paper to determine final details. Behind all her efforts lies the idea that every cake should make a perennial impression.
