The quality of what is produced at Tree House has made the café a favorite among local wedding professionals. Indeed, when Rock Resorts—a collection of luxury hotels with a long-standing tradition of emphasizing the natural settings of its locations and the parent company of La Posada de Santa Fe—launched a "Green Weddings" initiative in February 2008, event planners on staff approached Tree House Pastry Shop & Café about providing organic cakes for the green weddings held at the Santa Fe resort. Having already delivered many cakes to La Posada, Tree House was thrilled to participate.
"Tree House is one of our favorite bakeries to work with," says David Stone, Director of Catering and Conference Services at La Posada. "Besides the fact that they're all-organic, Tree House cakes are beautiful and taste great, too. It was natural that we went to Tree House when we initiated the Green Weddings program."
Green weddings are very much a part of what's happening in the country today, but is this trend likely to continue? With awareness of and interest in sustainability and all things green on the rise, it looks like Tree House may be on to something. Back in the kitchen, the longevity of the "green wedding" movement doesn't seem to be a concern.
"People choose a cake for lots of different reasons," says Bustamante-Bernal. "We try to work with each and every couple in order produce something that is unique, memorable, and fits the occasion. Some people choose us because we're organic; others for different reasons. What we hope for in every cake is that it is truly enjoyed and that—for its part—the cake we deliver helps to make someone's day as special as it can be."
Regardless of the mood of the country, Tree House's commitment to sustainability provides some interesting food for thought: at Santa Fe's Tree House Pastry Shop & Café, those planning a New Mexico "green wedding" really can have their organic, locally-made cake—and eat it, too.
