Valentine’s Day Sugar Cookies

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Of course I wanted to get these photos up sooner, but the shop has been quite busy this week, so I’m squeezing them in right now! Before I show off the yummy sugar cookies I thought I would give you a sneak peak of the gorgeous photos that Sarah K Chen captured last week at her Blush Boudoir shoot that Linda Ly, from Grand Soriees, styled. They asked me if I would like to send some sexy treats along with them and of course I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. Here are just two photos from the shoot, but definitely check out her blog for more gorgeous photos!

Aren’t they dreamy! So with Valentine’s Day right around the corner what wouldn’t be better to give that special someone than a delicious cookie with a love message…here are some of my favorites!

You can buy these sugar cookies individually bagged and tied with a ribbon for $4.25-$6.00 or you can get this gift box with 3 large cookies for $20.

We can also do jewel cake lollipops or a gift basket of 6 cake lollipops for $20!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Do-It-Yourself Valentine’s Day Treats Featured on Brides.com

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

I was very excited last week when I got an email from Brides.com asking me if I would like to contribute a fun and easy D0-It-Yourself treat for their readers! Of course I said yes right away and went to work. Over at our shop our delicious cake lollipops are always quite the hit and so I wanted to play off that idea, but make it a little more reader friendly. So instead of having to go through the whole process of make the actual cake pops I thought donut holes would be a great substitute. So if you are in for an easy and yummy treat for Valentine’s Day definitely go over and check out my tutorial on Brides.com!

There are some other great tutorials too for other Valentine’s Day Gifts so make sure and check them all out!

Trick or Treat! It’s Halloween Time!

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Well, I thought I would quick try to get out a little post on some yummy treats that might inspire you for Halloween! I meant to try and create some new cupcakes for this Halloween, but sadly all of my time got zapped up and so I thought I would show last year’s cupcakes along with some new sugar cookies. Hope you enjoy!

And thanks to Meg Perotti Photography for this great photo of my new vintage postcard Halloween cookies. Place your orders soon if you want them by Saturday!

Pops of Color

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

When I first met with the bride and her mother about 6 months ago for a consultation I automatically knew that I really wanted to book this wedding! They were fun, creative, and full of excitement for their big day and being from Texas and having a wedding here in California they had done their homework and found Courtney Toney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, to help plan for their wedding. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a fabulous planner, whether for the whole wedding process or at least just for the day of…they can make your wedding 10 times more enjoyable, creative, and memorable. Courtney recommend Carissa, from JL Designs to our clients too and they fell in love (like they always do!). So now I was really wanting the job and luckily they wanted me too! This was such a fun wedding to plan for and was full of pops of color, fresh flowers, and cute details. When I got to the venue I was blown away with the set-up that Courtney & Carissa had pulled off…it was just perfect! Here are some fabulous photos from Melissa Kelsey Photography of the day…enjoy!

I was so excited for my dessert display because I knew Courtney was making me a fabulous backdrop and Carissa blew me away with the wheat grass and fresh tulip display for my cake stand to sit on…how amazing it that!?! I wanted to pull together all the fun pops of color and make this display delicious eye candy! The bride loved the cake I designed while I was in Ron Ben Israel’s class last year, so since I don’t like copying exact cakes that I have done before we switched it up by changing around the color scheme, flowers, and details…I loved how it turned out and was so excited once I put it on the cake stand!

For the mini desserts we did monogram sugar cookies, mini key lime pies, passion fruit, coconut, macadamia nut tarts, mini cheesecakes with fresh raspberries, and cake lollipops.

Love these ladies…

And of course I had to snap a photo of my fabulous business partner, friend, and master cake lollipop maker…my wonderful mother!!!

I don’t know how I ever thought I could run a whole store/business without her! She, along with my whole family, has been more amazing than I could ever of hoped and dreamed for. After pulling 36 hours straight last weekend without sleep (yes, I overbooked) I was even more grateful for the immense amount of help my mother has been!

Lincoln’s Baby Shower

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Well, when my sweet friends Gabriel & Carlie, who are also the fabulous photography team behind Gabriel Ryan Photography, asked me if I could help out with some sweet treats for their baby shower I jumped at the chance! Not only are they the sweetest couple ever, but some of the most talented and amazingly creative too! They also recruited Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings, and Carissa, from JL Designs, to help out with the design and florals too…how could I ever turn down that dream team opportunity! Those two ladies surprise me every time with their fresh, new ideas…

Little Lincoln’s day was one for the books, the style, creativeness, and love behind this event is clearly evident in the photos to come! Everyone added their special touch to the day and it turned out perfect! I am so excited for Carlie and Gabriel and blessed to have them, and soon baby Lincoln, in my life! Another fun perk of the day was that I got to use my NEW CAMERA! I have basically been wanting a professional camera for 4 years now and recently was able to get one for my birthday…I have been ADDICTED ever since! I even bought a new purse so my new little baby would be able to go everywhere with me. Gabriel was kind enough to go with me camera shopping and boy was I happy! I got a Canon 50D, a 50mm lens, and a 28-135mm lens. Of course Gabriel’s fabulous photos outshine mine by a million degrees, but I thought I would include some of my detail shots for the heck of it! I hope you enjoy the eye candy!

I can’t say enough about all the details that were not left undone. I believe that the most important part of any event are the personal touches and this shower had more than I can count…oh by the way, how cute is the mother-to-be!!!

How gorgeous are these handmade necklaces Carliee and her girlfriend made for the special women in her life! She also graciously gave us the most fabulous little button rings which I so wish I had a photo of…think Anthropolgie!

Of course I couldn’t do a post without some dessert photos as well…so here they are!

Karrie, from Karrie Pyke Designs, made me the most adorable little owl images for my cookies…can’t thank her enough!

And of course no party is complete without some red velvet cake and carrot cake lollipops and mini candy bar cupcakes!

Vintage Inspired Wedding Cake!!!

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Well, I am finally feeling like life is getting back to some sort of pattern and I am really enjoying it! Today I am actually at my in-laws beach house in Newport Beach and then off to lunch and shopping with my girlfriend Kate! But before I left for my day of fun I thought I would post these gorgeous photos from a recent wedding that I had the pleasure of doing. Courtney Toney of Joyful Weddings & Events completely blew me away with the look of this wedding. She worked hand in hand with the bride and groom who were very involved with the planning of their wedding day since their reception was actually in their backyard. I loved my wedding day too, but if I were able to go back in time I think I wish this was the style of my wedding…intimate, detailed inspired, and a touch of vintage…love, love, love it! The bride and groom were so much fun to work with and really let me try out some new ideas with the design of their cake! Lastly, I have to say that Amy Squires did an amazing job with the photography! I was able to work with able on my first real wedding back in the day and it was so much fun seeing her work her magic again with this wedding!

For the dessert station Courtney found the most adorable vintage cart! For the cake design the bride wanted to incorporate sugar lace, pearls, and lots of vintage details! We accented the cake with a fabulous sugar magnolia flower too! To add to the details the bride wanted to do some mini desserts as well, so we had cake lollipops, mini red velvet cupcakes, and mini cheesecakes with raspberries.
