Spotlight: Christine Dahl Pastries

I love showcasing the best of Santa Barbara and Christine Dahl Pastries is just that. Christine has been in business for the past thirteen years and runs a boutique company focused on fresh ingredients and great taste. And her cakes are beautiful to boot! She has also been featured in In Style, Inside Weddings, just to name a few.

I love this simple white and green cake with the tiny pipped details. Plus, I’m always a sucker for cymbidiums.

This was the cake featured in In Style magazine. The delicate detail work is just fabulous, it reminds me of antique lace.

This beach theme cake is colorful without being too over the top. Christine actually makes the shells from molded white chocolate. I love her use of sugar in the raw to get the look of sand (without the mess).

This cake is very traditional, feminine, and elegant. The floral cascade is done gracefully and is in scale with the cake (so many people do too much which dwarfs the cake).

Christine only does a 140 cakes a year and works in the Santa Barbara area only. Her pricing is from $6 per person and up.
