Jim and his partner Alejandro made the cake for mine and my husbands April 2011 wedding in Charleston. Let me say that hands-down, that was the most beautiful and delicious cake that I have ever seen or tasted (not to be biased...).
About 3... weeks before our wedding, my planner had called and asked if we still wanted Jim to do our original design for our cake, which included a woodsy, fern design with branches and moss. She then said that he wanted to try to incorporate the whimsical design that was on our invitation into the cake. I said - "Sure, it doesn't matter, I trust him to make it beautiful." And ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you - it was a vision. I couldn't have asked for a more perfectly detailed, beautiful cake. This man can make his buttercream look like fondant and can put every brides vision into reality. He is truly amazing!
We had three different flavors: Almond-Amaretto, Chocolate-Kahlua, and an Orange-Almond. Each flavor was more amazing than the next - many of our guests told me after the wedding that they had tried all three flavors and still had to go back for more! That should tell you something!!
Jim also has great prices on his cakes - while many bakers charge an initial fee per slice, a fee which increases with every little detail you add - Jim charges a basic price for the cake and then if it is to be covered in hand-made sugar flowers will modify that price, but he is very affordable for a baker!!
Just know that if you want him, GET HIM EARLY!! He tends to book out about 9-12 months ahead of time!! And trust me, he is worth it!!
