{inspiration begins with... my tastebuds}




Can you say YUM? I'm not a huge cake person {I never eat cake!}, but I don't think I'd mind feasting on these delectable creations made by Jesus Ornelas. He is considered a "Chef to the Stars", and his expertise is in making these visual masterpieces that you can eat. The wedding cake in the center was the cake he made for Mary Dann {famous wedding planner in Southern California + the Style Network's "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway?"}. I was a bit disappointed when he moved to Tennessee, but guess what?


He's back in California {Palm Springs, to be exact}! I couldn't be more stoked. Oh, BTW, did I mention that he is Oscar's first cousin? YES! That's why I'm elated, because before I heard the news, I was even going to skip having a traditional wedding cake... or it wasn't going to be a detail that I prioritized. Now, there is no way I could have a cake or even dessert at my wedding, if he didn't do it. I'm leaning towards something similar to Mary Dann's cake, since I'm going with a b+w motif. But to be honest, I can't decide on what to have because he can literally create ANYTHING!


So check out his work... or get inspired by wedding cakes. Some couples base their entire weddings on their cake! Bon appetit!
