Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book


Cakes by Nomeda is our featured vendor this week of our "Inside the Wedding Planner's White Book". A native to Lithuania, a small European country on the Baltic Sea, Nomeda brought her mastery of the patisserie craft to the Tampa Bay area. Nomeda Baronas has been sculpting cakes for over twenty years that are unique not only in taste but in their appearance as well. She is a true artist who encourages her clients thoughts and ideas in selecting the flavors and design; making each cake an individual work of art designed specifically for the bride and groom. Besides translating her visions onto canvas with a paint brush, Nomeda has a talent with musical instruments and a gift for singing as well. We just love working with her! She is not only a talented cake designer but very dependable as well. I have had a groom comment right after the cutting of the cake to his guests, "that is good cake!" Nomeda truly creates FABULOUS cakes! Continue reading below to learn more about this incredibly talented lady, Nomeda!

What do you love most about weddings? It is always a happy occasion that brings two families and their traditions together.
How do you continue to challenge yourself in this industry? I don't remember the last time I said "no, I can't do this". When we get requests for unusual flavors and designs, I find the challenge inspiring. Finding new ways to create the perfect cake that is someone's vision, is very exciting.
What do you think is the most important thing each couple that works with you needs to know? We strive to make cakes that not only look fabulous, but taste fabulous as well. Whenever I attend one of our weddings, I always find it satisfying to see almost every plate empty after our cake has been served.
