Crew’s Ombre Surf 1st Birthday Party

Monday, January 2nd, 2012

To start off the New Year right I thought I would blog one of my favorite kid’s parties yet!  My sweet friend and photographer Ashley Rose’s little boy, Crew, turned 1 this year and I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing party!  Ashley is a super mom and basically did all of the design, decorating, projects, etc for the whole day!

Some of my best girlfriends Elizabeth and Karrie from Posh Paperie created the fabulous invitations and the Wedding Chicks made these adorable printed bags!

For Crew’s birthday desserts we went with the ombre blue color scheme and added some surf themed touches to the desserts.

I love this new ombre buttercream technique that we have been doing at the shop and thought it would be perfect for Crew’s cake…it’s modern, clean, and bold.  We added a fondant surfboard and some gold fish to the bottom of the cake and voila! Ashley also rented this fab table from Found Vintage Rentals!

6475662603_dcf516a7fa_o

We created some ombre blue cake lollipops and added mini shark fins to the tops of them.  For the bottom of the dish I thought it would be fun put the gold fish again.

We then did some mini cupcakes, vanilla panna cotta shot glasses tinted blue, and chocolate dipped ombre rice crispy treats!

sTORIbook Weddings Episode Tonight: A Marie Antoinette Wedding

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

A couple months back we had the pleasure of doing two of the weddings for Tori & Dean’s new show sTORIbook Weddings and we are excited to announce that the final wedding we worked on with them is airing for the first time TONIGHT December 27th at 10/9c on the Oxygen Network.  I have to say that this is my favorite wedding yet that we got to be a part of and we made a TON of desserts and cakes for it! The theme was Marie Antoinette and we pulled out all the stops for it.  I even had a fun time filming a private cake tasting at Tori & Dean’s house for the bride and groom, which will be on the show tonight too.

We created a 5 tier dusty blue cake with lots of gold accents that was set on a table all by itself…

Heavenly Blooms created the over-the-top gorgeous flowers for the big wedding day!

Like I said, we pulled out all the stops for the grand mini dessert table that had multiple single tier decorated cakes as well.

A Gorgeous Rustic, Elegant Wedding at The Villa!

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

I am just in love with this next wedding that I got to be a part of!  The couple are good friends of Carissa, from JL Designs, who did all the floral design and clearly you can tell that they are have fabulous taste!  They wanted their wedding design to be early southern california history mixed with some masculine texan details.  I love the rich color scheme and the rustic touches here and there.  The talented Ashley Rose photographed the whole wedding and I love think the photos are dreamy!  The Villa at San Juan Capistrano was the fantastic venue it was held at.

For the cake we wanted to do something clean and modern, but also look rich and elegant.  We stuck with the white and gold color scheme and I decided to paint fondant braids gold and use them to wrap around the cake tiers.  Then we did a white ruffle sugar flower with a large gold center.

Chevron Patterns & Lots of Succulents!

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

I have to say one of my favorite new trends that started this past year or two was the love of succulents and the chevron pattern! I am totally a clean, modern type of girl so this wedding is speaking my love language!  I had the pleasure of working with the fabulously talented Carissa, from JL Designs yet again who did the amazing floral and event design.  The wedding was held at the Luxe Hotel in Bel Air and LRS Event Planning helped the day come together beautifully!  I love all the gorgeous photos Meg Perotti shot and can’t wait to work with her again!

Custom Kid’s Cakes

Monday, September 19th, 2011

Well the kid’s cakes in my iphoto gallery have been stacking up so I thought I would share some recent ones we’ve done with you!  Kyong mainly heads up the kid’s cake section and I have to say she does an amazing job bringing the cake designs to life!  First up a 1st birthday party for a little rocker boy :)

This was a fun project we did recently for a 1st birthday party.  They had a whole dessert bar set up too, but I don’t have those photos yet.  We created three baby tigers for them and then a bunch of adorable baby tiger cake lollipops!
