Lots of New Weddings

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

We have been busy bees over at the shop these last few months and that means lots of WEDDINGS! Here are a couple lovely weddings that we have had the pleasure of working on! This first wedding at Rancho Las Lomas was for the sweetest couple and I loved that they sent photos back to me so I could see them enjoying the desserts!

We made the custom cake stand and backdrop for the couple. They wanted to incorporate a rustic and earthy touch to the table, but still wanted it to look elegant. They decided to do a two tier cake and then cupcakes, so guests could choose which one they wanted.

This next wedding I had the pleasure of working with Carissa from JL Designs & Christina from Simply Modern Weddings. We ended up doing a small cake that pulled in design from their invitation and then a variety of mini desserts. Christina & Carissa definitely pulled off a gorgeous wedding with lovely details!

The flowers that Carissa & her assistant Darcy did were so romantic!

Loved all of Christina’s cute signs she added to the table.

Here is a rare shot of us ladies after we set up and a couple fun photos of the sweet husbands who came along to help!

So blessed to work with you ladies! Here is one more fun wedding cake I was able to do recently for a sweet couple. They wanted to incorporate color onto the cake, so we did a butter yellow base with dark grey lace accents and a purple sugar flower accent.

I recently had the pleasure of working with my friends Ashlyn & Heather from Carter & Cook Event Co. on a photoshoot for Exquisite Wedddings Magazine. They are an amazing design team and I knew the photoshoot would turn out gorgeous. You can check out their blog to read about all the details of the shoot, but here are some photos!

Mini Desserts & Sugar Cookies

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I am so excited to share photos with you from some of my last events. This last week was my busiest yet for my business and by the end I was physically aching, but it was all worth it. I also celebrated my 25th birthday this last Monday and am so excited that one of my birthday presents is going to be a trip to Florida to the Notter School of Pastry Arts where I will be lucky enough to take a three day cake decorating class from Colette Peters!!! Colette is simple AMAZING and I can’t wait to watch her in action and learn some tricks of the trade. So get ready for some fun posts in October as I document my class. I have also never been to Florida, so if any of you have any “must eats” let me know!

Well enough about that, lets get onto the desserts! So this last week I had an order for 1,000 mini desserts for my church’s leadership & launch party. The fun part about this menu is they left the choices up to me, so I got to try a couple new dessert ideas and play around with fun presentation ideas. Overall the party went really great, but as I said earlier…I was so happy when it was all over. Here are some photos of the goodies!

My Grandma’s famous caramelized party mix (not the savory kind). This stuff is beyond addicting…don’t doubt it’s deliciousness! I thought it would be fun to put them in paper cones, so I had my husband build me a custom paper cone holder that turned out just perfect!

Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting!

Chocolate cups filled with Chocolate Mousse and topped with Valrhona Crunchy Chocolate Pearls.

A view of one of the tables. My brother-in-law made me this stand! It is perfect because each part comes off…there is a total of 6 tiers, so it is nice that I can customize it to any party size. Thanks Wes!

Mini Monster Cookies…peanut butter, oatmeal, chocolate chunks, M&M’s, and lots of sugar!

Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Pies with Oreo Crust and Chocolate Ganache Swirl.

Mini Keylime Pies! Love the meringue tops!

Of course I couldn’t pass up a chance to use Bakerella’s adorable idea of cake pops. I did three different kinds…Red Velvet, Buttermilk Banana, and Chocolate. These are so tasty, so if you haven’t tried them out I recommend you do!

And finally a last view of one of the tables.

Besides that order I had another 500 cookie order, but this time it was for USC…of course it had to be due on the same day! Anyways, they were throwing a huge volunteer recognition party and needed some sweet treats for their guests. These cookies were again made with edible frosting sheets like my last order.
