My Maternity Photos!!!

Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

Well I have been waiting and waiting to share these photos with you and I am so happy to finally be able to! This past year has been one of the best years of my life as my husband and I have been preparing to welcome our little baby girl, Blake Eileen Brandon, into the family! I am writing this post at 5am having been awake already with little blake’s wiggling and hiccups (her favorite thing to do inside my belly) since 3am, but I have never been filled with more joy! I thank that Lord for the special gift He is giving to us and am counting down the days (1 month left) until little blake arrives!

My dear friend Carlie, from Gabriel Ryan Photographers, took our maternity photos and I really don’t think I would’ve picked anyone else to do it…she captured everything perfectly and these photos are something I will treasure for the rest of my life…thanks Carlie! We were also lucky enough to be featured on the blog, Onto Baby, my new obsession these past few months, so you can check out their full post here!

As many of my friends and family members will tell you I certainly am doing my fair share of shopping for my little girl…I just can’t stop myself when I see tiny clothes and shoes! Yes I know she probably will only wear those shoes for half a second, but they have made me smile so much already and her tiny feet aren’t even in them yet!

My sweet hubby Tim has been the best partner ever to go through this pregnancy with…I will cherish every memory of him talking to little blake in my belly and seeing the joy on his face as he talks about all his future plans with his little girl. She is one lucky lady to have such an amazing daddy!

Of course we had to do a couple wardrobe changes…just in case my pregnant and ever changing body didn’t look so good in one outfit Thankfully Carlie is a master at what she does and made all my outfits work!

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

Sesame Street and especially Elmo is always popular with the younger crowd!

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!

Irene is getting flawless at piped buttercream cakes and this next cake is one of my favorites…

This Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake is a great way to pull off the theme on only a one tier cake; simple, but fun!

This carved flamingo cake was a birthday surprise for a client and they loved it…

I just happen to love this next cake Kyong did…Spongebob and his little krabby cakes and french fries have never looked more cute.

This cake had so much detail and took quite a while to make, but I loved the final product!

And lastly the ever popular Toy Story birthday party, but this time the star of the show was Jessi!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and make sure and let us know which cake you liked the best!

Dreamy Wedding in Newport Harbor

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

This past weekend I was at Barnes & Noble bookstore and I happened to pick up The Knot Southern California Magazine. As I went to look through it I was pleasantly surprised to see that we were featured not one, but FOUR times!!! To say I was thrilled is an understatement! We are so lucky to work with such amazing planners, photographers, florists, etc and because of them I am blessed to get in these kind of features! Leila from Be Inspired PR got us this amazing feature below and I have to say a big THANK YOU to her!

This wedding was shot by the lovely Meg Perotti and the wonderful Courtney, from Joyful Weddings and Events, pulled the whole gorgeous day off! I get to work with Carissa, from JL Designs, quite a bit and I have to say that this might be one of my favorite weddings she has done…the florals are just breathtaking! Courtney took the concept of a “beach wedding” to a whole new level and I loved how it all turned out!

For the cakes we did a rustic trio of cakes and I have to say I just love this simple homespun look! We accented them with fresh peonies and with the florals from Carissa and burlap backdrop it was a match made in Heaven.

Little Boys & Bow Ties!

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

This post is definitely special to my heart! I had the pleasure along with Carissa of JL Designs & Courtney of Joyful Weddings & Events, of throwing one of my best girlfriends Jesi, from Jesi Haack Weddings a little baby shower to celebrate the birth of her adorable little son Maverick. Jesi has been such a blessing in my life and I loved being about to give back to her just a little. The theme that Courtney came up with was “Bow ties” and I have to say I was smitten with it from the start.

The talented ladies, Karrie & Elizabeth, from Posh Paperie created the cutest invitations and paper pieces for the party. Of course I have to say a HUGE thank you to Carlie, of Gabriel Ryan Photography for the fabulous photos…they are just perfect!

A fun little side not about the shower is that it was actually held at my new house I bought last year. Carissa did a beautiful job with the flowers & Courtney’s little accents along the way were so much fun.

I had so much fun using some of the pieces from Sweet & Saucy Supply for the shower. The colorful stands are such a great pop of color on the table.

I had so much fun setting up the desserts on my new vintage dresser I found at the LA Flea Market! We made a small ruffle cake with a fondant bow tie accent, french macaroons, cake lollipops, mini cupcakes, and of course some bow tie sugar cookies.

Gorgeous DIY wedding!

Monday, January 24th, 2011

I have some eye candy for you today! This next wedding is the perfect example of a beautiful outdoor wedding with amazing details & lots of love! The bride Stacy, was really involved in every aspect of the wedding design and made almost all of the handmade details herself! Thanks so much to Jeffery Wallace Photography for the stunning photos! Carissa from JL Designs created the lovely, lush florals and Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings made the whole day flow together seamlessly!

Here’s what Jesi had to say about Stacy…

“Stacy Stacy Stacy. My soul mate. My fellow anal retentive crazy woman. I’m not kidding, she handed me her wedding file that put mine to shame. She also designed her entire wedding, and it kicked some serious booty! I cannot choose my favorites, so this will be my first 2 part blog post! This wedding was crafty, cute, clever and creative and I wish I could take credit for everything. But I cannot. Stacy, you are my hero.”
