Happy Sugar Baking Land

We Need Sunglasses!!

Hey everyone, Husband Mic here!  You know, Reva has been on every season of Amazing Wedding Cakes and so she's come home and told me stories about getting recognized on the street.  I never thought too much of it as in L.A., you see all kinds of varying degrees of celebrity all the time.  Plus, she's my wife.  I don't really think of her as anything else.

I made some brief appearances in season 2, but I never thought anyone would recognize me.  Well, all that changed and during filming for season 3 mostly.  We got mobbed (slight exaggeration) while at Disneyland!  We almost ran out of buttons to hand out.  But it was pretty funny to see Reva's face when a women in line at the Pirates of the Caribbean stuck her hand straight out and said , "nice to meet you."  She was so confused!!  You know, you don't think people watch the show, but they do.  She then wanted to shake my hand!  Crazy.  We ended up taking a picture with them and chatting a bit.  They were all very nice Oregonians and you know what?  It makes you feel pretty good to think that by you deciding to go to Disneyland that day, you made someone's experience that much better.  Sure, we're not Brangelina, but they were stoked to meet someone from T.V. and now we're a story they're gonna tell to family over Thanksgiving and show the picture.  That is pretty damn awesome.

The weirdest had to be the drive thru at Wendy's!  I guess when you see a big white van with a cake in the back, it is pretty easy to put 2 and 2 together, but it'll still take you by surprise as the girl handing you your Biggie Cokes says, "hey, you're from Amazing Wedding Cakes!"  

The funniest was when we dropped off one of the season 3 cakes and a guy working at the reception hall setting up said, "you're from that show, I love you guys."  Then as we walked out I'm pretty sure I heard him tell a co-worker we were from Ace of Cakes.  So, I guess I'm Duff and Reva is Mary-Alice!

There's been other stories and Marc has some as well, but I just wanted to share a couple with you and let everyone know that it really means a lot to us that you're watching and enjoying the show.  If you see us somewhere, say hello and don't be alarmed when Reva looks confused!  It's still a little weird for us after all.

And to that checker at Target, you'll figure out "where you've seen us" someday!

That's A Wrap!!

Hello Happy Sugar Baking Land-ites!!!

 

It is Friday the 13th....oooooooohhohohoo!!!!, and it's almost been a month sine our last post here.  Sorry about that!  October was super busy as we filmed our cakes for Amazing Wedding Cakes Season 3.  We're done now, sort of.  We might have some "pick-ups" later on.  That is when they call us back to do some of those formal interviews (with the yellow background) to ask questions or have us clarify something that happened.  They're kind of fun and I'd love for you guys to see the out takes when we're just goofing around and talking about totally random stuff.

We actually love to talk about random stuff while we work.  Our conversations go all over the map from movies to the weather to politics to more bawdy subject matter.  What's hilarious is the film crew is always trying to get us to talk about cake while we work, but we don't generally talk about cake while we work!  

 

Mmmmmm.... butter

Overall we are really happy with the cakes they featured this season and the process was definitely easier.  You know, it's not easy to try and work with a camera on a tripod half an inch away from your face!  Or having a dozen people stare at you and bright lights etc.  It can be extremely tiring and wear down your spirits pretty quick.  Luckily we're all goof balls and we keep each other going, but it is stressful for sure.

Another great part of this season was our crew.  You know, last year we had a lot of crew coming and going because schedules change and this week is this producer, next week is different, and they were all great, but it is hard to find a groove.  This time we basically had the same group throughout, including one of our camera girls from last season, Ashley.  So it was way easier to hit that comfort zone and have everyone on the same page without us having to explain fondant ten times.  We cannot thank these guys and girls enough for making the process fun.

I know Mic has some thoughts on the show he wants to share, but this will probably be our last post on AWC for awhile, so let me answer the question you'll all want to know.  When will season 3 air?  The simple answer is we don't know.  Our production company wanted to film a little early so they had more time to edit and assemble the show and as far as we've heard, they're not even going to start that process till around February.  If we had to guess, we're thinking around June or July.  I know, it's a long ways off.  We can't wait to share everything with you, but we all must be patient.

Anyway, the Holidays are basically here and I've got some gingerbread houses to start on!  Thanks for reading everyone, take care!

- Reva!
