This week was a very exciting week in the myKPW office! We held one of our my Kate Parker Wedding get togethers on Tuesday and it was a blast. Eleven of our fab vendors and extended family members joined Kate in a discussion about the client experience. Each vendor chatted about their experience with their own clients and also what they would love to work on in the future when working with clients, whether it be with their online experience, in person experience, or phone experience.

So for the last bit of the get together, Erin, of Wild Orchid Baking Company, shared with us some delicious treats and her success story when it came to closing with a client. Kate brought Erin in to share her story because she was so inspired by Erin’s efforts to create and personalize the clients tasting experience. About a month ago, Erin came in to the myKPW office for a tasting with a potential client. Erin created the most beautiful little cakes for the client with personalized sugar flowers and the most amazing fondant ever – EVER … seriously.
Most of the time when I’ve been eating cake at wedding, the fondant is the first thing that is scraped off – yuck. Although it has a great aesthetic, it’s usually hard and tastes like paper, who wants that? But when Erin came into our office carrying the most adorable little cakes I’ve ever seen and I tasted that fondant – it was literally a revelation. I know words can’t do it justice, but imagine a melted marshmallow mixed with charleston chew mixed with peeps mixed with whipped sugar. AMAZING. All i can say is that you really need to try it yourself – it will change your perspective on fondant forever!
Well, enough ranting, here are some fab photographs by Ned Jackson of Erin’s adorable (not to mention delicious) cakes!
Thanks to all of the myKPW family and extended family members – we had such a great time with you all!
