Sophie’s Ice Cream Party

Thursday, November 11th, 2010

This party was surely one of my favorites of the year!  My good friend Lynda Ly, from Grand Soirees, always puts on flawless events and I knew her daughter’s first birthday party would be no less.  She came up with the ice cream cone theme and I immediately LOVED it!  I had so much fun creating the dessert table for this party and have to thank Sarah K. Chen Photography & Trista Lerit Photography for the gorgeous images.  I also snuck in a couple photos I took because I couldn’t help myself from taking tons of photos once I was done.

I wanted the birthday girl’s cake to mimic her dress and then I thought it would be fun to put a fondant ice cream cone right on top, as if it was floating above the cake.  We had tons of fun making ice cream cone cake lollipops, sugar cookies, cupcakes, and french macaron lollipops!

Lot’s of Fun with Cakes

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Definitely trying to get in a couple blog posts this week, so up next are some fun specialty cakes that we recently had a chance to make!  My favorite for sure is the Gucci Purse cake that Kyong and I worked on…we had a great time making it and I’m happy to say the client was thrilled!

We actually had to hand paint all of the Gucci symbols onto the cake.  It definitely was a tedious project, but I think well worth it.

We also get make make lots of kid’s cakes and the “Jungle Theme” is quite a popular one!  First up custom cupcakes that Kyong did an amazing job at!

How adorable are those!  Kyong also incorporated these cute little animals onto a recent cake we made.  The cake was covered in chocolate ganache instead of fondant and then accented with fondant pieces.

We also got to do a fun groom’s cake for a great couple.  The groom loved poker so we did a stack of poker chips, while incorporating their wedding colors into the design.

Another groom’s cake that we just made incorporated all of the groom’s loves onto one cake.  It was a surprise too and I just wish I could’ve been there to see his reaction!

Mad Men Style Wedding

Monday, November 8th, 2010

I just had to share this amazingly fun 1960’s Mad Men Style Wedding that I got to be a part of.  When I finally got the photos I was blown away with the whole look of the wedding…every single detail was incredible.  There was definitely a whole team of talented vendors behind this special day, so make sure and check out the bottom of the post to see who they all are!  The gorgeous bride Susie actually works over at the oh so popular blog, The Wedding Chicks, so she knew exactly who she wanted for her special day! Thanks to Julie Harmsen for the wonderful photos!

Tori & Dean’s Renewal Vows

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

This has definitely been a post I have dreamed of doing!  As most of your know I was lucky enough to be a part of Tori & Dean’s renewal vows a couple months ago.  It was such a pleasure to be part of their amazing team of talented vendors.  Tori always has such great style and her vision for her special day really came into its own.  I loved the personal and eclectic touches throughout party and of course the color scheme is one of my favorites.  Thanks so much to Elizabeth Messina for the gorgeous photos…she truly blows me away every time I see her work.
