Why We Fly Wedding Cakes Across the World For Weddings

Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular for many reasons, at the forefront of which is probably the fantasy they bring to life as pristine ocean waters crash against white sandy beaches, fireworks ignite over ships docked at bay as wedding attendees dance and party into the night, and friends and love ones retreat to an ideal destination for a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.

Naked Patisserie first began doing destination weddings organically just a few months after opening its doors. A bride inquired for a wedding at Balesin Island Club, and a member of our creative team flew in to construct a bride and groom’s dream weddings caked– we were hooked. Albeit it logistically challenging for the pastry team, and certainly more effort than delivering a cake to a hotel or venue in the Manila area, there is something fairytale-like seeing the satisfaction of a bride and groom as they cut their dream wedding cake at their dream destination.

From Boracay to Cebu to Balesin to Palawan and, yes, even to Bali, in 2018 Naked Patisserie flew cakes around the world to bring the magic to life for deserving brides and grooms. Hooked on the adventure and challenge of it all, we have no plans on stopping our destination wedding services anytime soon. We’re itching to tell you the destinations our couples’ have planned for 2019, but you’ll have to wait and see!

It’s All About the Details When it Comes to Christian & Kat Bautista’s Wedding Cake

by

Cakes towering to touch the chandeliers may be ideal for large ballrooms and grandiose celebrations, but when it came to the opulent cozy setting of Christian and Kat Bautista’s Manila Reception at The Manila Hotel it was all about the details.

Upon entering the Champagne Room, styled by legendary stylist Gideon Hermosa, a sea of glistening desserts greeted you at the entryway giving guests foresight in making their dessert plans as they were seated at their tables. This was a special request by Kat Bautista, who admittedly has a sweet tooth that we love her for!

On the opposite side of the table was a 4-layered cake, seen by guests from all angles of the Champagne Room throughout the program. Cohesive with the decor and floral arrangements seen throughout the room, this gold, blush-marbled, and Bordeaux- colored cake was designed to attract more than a glance from guests.

If you look closely at the cake, the bottom golden tier is hand-piped with royal icing designs. The boldly Bordeaux third-layer of the cake is likewise hand crafted with royal icing embellishments like dandelions, dragon flies, and roses giving the cake a whimsical and dreamy feel as it glistened in the light.

The flowers and golden leaves were completely edible and crafted by hand by the Naked Patisserie design team. All Naked Patisserie designs are inspired by nature and Christian and Kat Bautista’s cake was no exception to this common thread that weaves together all designs.

Kat chose lemon cake for cake cutting, but the star desserts of the night sat opposite of the table with Naked Patisserie signature favorites like Chocolate Oreo Cheesecake Truffles, Pucker Up Lemon Cheesecake, Pick-Me-Up Espresso Chocolate Cheesecake, Strawberries N’ Cream Cake, Chocoholic Truffle Cake and more.

Why I’m Still Not Over Christian & Kat Bautista’s Bali Wedding

by

I have attended more than my fair share of weddings and events, and I’ve seen some incredible destination weddings— like my best friend Ashley who recently tied the knot in an ancient Mayan ruin in Guatemala, for example. Even so, the special attention paid to every last detail for Christian & Kat’s wedding made this one of my fav weddings of 2018. You guys really made your wedding into a DREAM COME TRUE.

So for those who are wondering, here’s why I’m still not over Christian and Kat’s wedding in Bali.

1. The Bali-Wood inspired welcome dinner was an unforgettable experience.

From the vibrant pops of color to the delicious buffet spread and private “night market” that was set up for guests, this party was hopping. I may have had an impromptu flower fight at the end of the party with some of Kat’s entourage. The theme brought out the “fun” in everyone!

2. The wedding was intimate, and you truly got to enjoy everyone’s company.

The 60-70ish guests that spent the long weekend in Bali for the wedding festivities was just the perfect size. From all over the world, those who matter most to Christian and Kat were there for the celebration. You also realized how small the world is as you find common connections and people with whom you share mutual friends.

3. Kat was glowing, shining and shimmering.

Not only did Kat’s Bali-Wood inspired outfit win Best-Dressed (in my mind) that night. She was stunningly angelic on her wedding day as she said her vows with the Balinese sunset bowing to the ocean. Kat even surprised Christian with a Ukelele song and gave us all a good cry with her sweetness and vulnerability. I also found out that she loves spreadsheets (I do also but I try to keep that on the down low).

4. Christian Bautista was the epitome of dapper in a green Francis Libiran tuxedo.

We know this guy has broken a lot of hearts now that he’s said “I do,” so it goes without saying that he rocked the green Francis Libiran tux like a pro. I asked him how many times wedding guests have asked him if he was going to sing (seemed like it would be the most popular question), and boy did he sing! I’m always up for a private Christian Bautista concert. Diba?

5. Naked Patisserie was a part of the experience.

I’m so honored and humbled that the Naked Patisserie team was invited to this entire wedding experience. Kat wanted a rustic donut cake (because donuts are her jam) and that’s exactly what we created for her! 27 sticks of butter and 6 rosemary plants went into the making of the cake. After a couple of tequila shots some of the guests flung to the cake for seconds and thirds! I mean, it’s a party, after all. I’m humbled by your trust for Naked Patisserie , Christian and Kat, and most of all— I’m thrilled that you’ve committed the rest of your lives to one another. God bless!
