Miley Cyrus’ 18th Birthday Party

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Well as most of you know Miley Cyrus did an amazing job at the AMA’s last night and then went off to a huge 18th Birthday Celebration at Le Trousdale in West Hollywood!  We were beyond excited to be able to do the dessert spread and birthday cake for her!!!

We were told that she loves dream catchers and the bohemian style, so we focused the whole dessert table around that.  We did a tier birthday cake with hand carved dream catchers, sugar feathers, and sugar turquoise beads.  I wanted to stick with the color scheme of brown, gold, white, and turquoise and I loved the final outcome.  Not only did we do a giant cake, but we also did a custom dessert bar with over 500 desserts!  It was quite a spread!  I have to thank my dear friend and the fabulously talented Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings, for the perfect backdrop she created for me!  She hand made all of the golden dream catchers and made the backdrop with ivory burlap and lace…I LOVED it!!!  Of course my wonderful girls, Elizabeth and Karrie, from Posh Paperie created the dessert cards that fit flawlessly with the whole look!

Well enough talking…here are the photos that are already all over the internet!

Thanks to Carlie from Gabrial Ryan Photography for helping with the back drop and shooting some photos for me…I tried taking some, but of course hers always turn out better (like the one above)!

I also love incorporating color into the desserts so these delicious french macarons were the perfect addition.

At the shop my mom, who is also the co-owner of Sweet & Saucy Shop with me, is know for being the Queen of Cake Lollipops so she did Red Velvet and Vanilla Pops and dusted some with golden shimmer!

This was such a fun experience and I’m so glad all of us ladies at Sweet & Saucy Shop got to be a part of it!  Happy Birthday Miley!

Modern Photo Shoot

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

I absolutely love getting to do photo shoots with talented people and this shoot was definitely one of them!  I teamed up with my dear friends Courtney, from Joyful Weddings & Events, Carissa, from JL Designs, and Elizabeth & Karrie, from Posh Paperie for this amazing opportunity!  The fabulous wedding photographer, Jessica Claire, asked us to do a mock wedding set up for one of her photo workshops and I have to say that I think we went to town!  I absolutely love this modern, bold look for a wedding!  I thought it would be fun to start out with dessert photos for a chance, so here they are!

Featured in Southern Weddings Magazine

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010

I am so excited to share with you the shoot we did for Southern Weddings Magazine!  This magazine is definitely one of the most stunning wedding magazine out there and I was so honored to be featured in it.  The team of people I worked with was nothing short of a dream team!  The talented Nancy, from So Happi Together, and Melissa from, The Loveliest Day, planned, designed, and put together the whole shoot!  Jeni, from Found Vintage Rentals, brought all of her fabulous vintage furniture and props…she makes me so jealous with her collection!  I was so into all the paper goods that Mae Mae Paperie designed for the shoot! The simply lovely Megan from Honey & Poppies did the luscious florals and Justin & Amelia, the amazing husband and wife team from Amelia Lyons Photography, simply blew me away with the photos!

I absolutely loved the color scheme for the shoot and we had fun pulling in lots of design detail with the desserts.  We did a main center cake with white on white lace and then two side cakes in chocolate ganache frosting.  I adored all the signage that Mae Mae Paperie made for me and thought it looked so cute on my desserts!

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.

Old School Glamour

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

This wedding is pure beauty!  The couple, the flowers, the venue…..everything is simply breathtaking!  I had a such a great time working with Lauren on her wedding and she was a true dream bride.  She really valued my opinion and trusted in me to pull off her vision!  Hayley & Nate did the set up for this wedding and Carissa from JL Designs did the flowers  & design for the wedding and our lovely mini dessert bar as well!  The talented Yelena Johnson, of The Stylish Soiree, also did the gorgeous wedding design too & I have to say that I loved every detail.  Thanks to Aaron Delesie for the beautiful photos!

No onto the desserts!  We did a full mini dessert bar filled with mini cupcakes, cookies, and cake lollipops!  I really wish we could’ve done their wedding cake too, but it came with the venue.  At least Lauren came up with a great idea and we surprised Brian with a boxing glove cake since he is loves watching & participating in boxing matches.
