Maine, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island wedding cakes, Wild Orchid Baking Company, is featured in the vendor spotlight! Wild Orchid Baking Company, a member of my Kate Parker Wedding, shares a little bit about their experience in the cake industry and gives us some insight into their business. Check out their work and their info below!
Number of years in business: I’ve been a professional pastry chef for the past 8 years, doing wedding cakes for the past 3 years. Before opening my own bakery I was the Pastry Chef at Locke Ober in Boston and The Bedford Village Inn in NH.
Pricing Information: Wedding cakes start at $4 a serving and range based on complexity of design.
What makes you stand out?: The best thing about our cakes is that they taste as good, or better, than they look. Because of my restaurant background I truly focus on flavor. Every cake we serve is entirely baked from scratch, fresh for your wedding (never frozen!) We are an all butter bakery and don’t use any shortenings, trans-fats, preservatives, etc. We are also able to accommodate a wide variety of allergies and dietary needs, without sacrificing flavor. Design wise, hand sculpted sugar flowers are one of my specialties.
What’s the favorite part of your work? My favorite part of my work is seeing the photos of the happy couple enjoying their first slice of cake together. Nothing feels better than knowing you’ve helped make their day even more special. I also love the design process. My favorite cakes are the ones inspired by elements from the rest of the wedding like dress details, invite designs or fabric patterns.
If you have any spare time, how do you spend it? I just opened the retail bakery this past June, so spare time is difficult to come by these days! When I do have time I’m usually hanging out with my husband, Mike, and our funny little cat, Lemon. I love going to the beach, especially in the winter. It’s where I like to think and regroup.
Which charity are you donating to and why? I chose to donate to all three charities because they are all great causes and I just couldn’t pick one! I love that being a part of My Kate Parker Wedding includes supporting such important organizations.
