Southern Weddings V4 Cover

SWV4 pages 36-37 Mini Desserts

We were so excited to be featured in Southern Wedding Magazine for our Southern Style Mini Desserts!  We chatted with the ladies over at the magazine about what their top favorite desserts were and then we created them in mini dessert form.  We were lucky enough to have Brandon Flynn shoot the gorgeous photos for us…I had a lot of fun styling these mini treats!

One of My Favorite Cakes!

Monday, June 20th, 2011

We get to make lots of wedding cakes during the year, but certain cakes come along and make me so inspired and this cake was one of them!  I loved designing the cake based off of a wedding dress from Anthropologie’s new wedding website BHLDN and then meshing it with the style of the bride’s wedding design.  They were a wonderful couple to work with and I think their wedding just turned out dream-like.  They got married at the gorgeous Rancho Las Lomas and of course has Found Vintage Rentals to deck out the whole venue with their amazing furniture pieces & rentals.  White Haute Photography snapped the stunning images and Larissa from, Inviting Occasions, did the lovely florals.  You can check out all the other great venues down below!

Like I said this has to be one of my favorite cake designs.  It has so much texture and design, but is still modern and clean looking.  I basically did all the sugar flowers and lace molds by hand and then accented some pieces with pewter silver.  Here is the dress from BHLDN that inspired me!

Smog Shop Wedding

Monday, May 9th, 2011

I absolutely LOVE working with Angle Swanson from Love and Splendor on weddings!  Her clients always have such amazing design and are equally as sweet!  This wedding that we got to do at The Smog Shoppe was so much fun.  We did an eclectic style dessert bar with some natural woodsy elements and then even got to make a crazy groom’s cake too…

This was the first time we tried make the “Hot Choco Spoons” for a wedding and I heard they were quite a hit!

The little succulent flower pots are so adorable as favors and double as their seating arrangement.

Last, but not least the crazy groom’s cake we promised.  The clients both shared a love of collecting these Japanese toy bears that come in all different designs and for the groom’s cake the bride surprised her husband with the wood style Be@rbrick Doll done in cake!  You can check out the real doll here.

Kristin’s Baby Shower

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I know I have been featuring LOTS of baby showers lately, but the truth is that I have lots of pregnant friends right now…I guess it’s that time!  I love the look of this shower that Angel Swanson, of Love and Splendor, put together for our friend Kristin, of Petal and Thorn.  The earthy, woodsy feel is so gorgeous looking and perfect for a fall time baby shower.

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 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.”
