Woodland Themed 1st Birthday Party

Sunday, May 16th, 2010

I love when I get to work with creative clients! Sarah is a perfect example of a client that just blows my mind and gets me so excited about making desserts! She wanted to make her son, Finn’s, 1st birthday party fabulous and boy did she! She made all the design pieces herself and truly amazed me with her creativity and talent…can you say future party planner or what!?!?

Sarah wanted to create a “Woodland” style look for the party and so we made the desserts accordingly. Sarah not only did all the decorating for the party, but she even made some of the desserts too! This is seriously one of the cutest kid’s birthday parties I have ever seen and I was so blessed to be a part of it! Thanks Sarah! And here is the amazing little family!

For the desserts we made owl cookies, mini key lime pies, mini candy bar cupcakes, rustic pies and other tasty treats! Sarah wanted us to recreate a little deer for the cupcake that matched the one on her invitations and I have to say it turned out adorable!

A Regal Affair

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

2009 seemed to fly by so fast that I found myself with so many weddings that I still needed to blog about! This next wedding is straight out of a fairytale and the photos show just how stunning this couple looked on their wedding day! Jennifer and Mike had the help of Ashley Powell, of Agape Planning, to pull off their gorgeous wedding. I loved the color scheme they choose and found the pops of gold, red, and turquoise worked perfectly together. The wedding was held at The Nixon Library and White Haute Photography captured some lovely photos that really showed off the beauty of this couple.

Here are some details shots of their gorgeous reception and dessert bar! Of course I had to take some photos myself!

For the cake we wanted to incorporate all the colors as well as add some intricate design. We made a red dahlia sugar flower to accent the bottom tier too.

Along with the cake we added a full spread of mini desserts so that their guests wouldn’t leave without their sweet tooth taken care of!

Thanks so much Jennifer and Mike for letting me be a part of your lovely day!

Details Details

Monday, October 12th, 2009

Hopefully you know by now that I believe that it’s the details that are most important! No matter what event you are trying to put on and no matter what budget you have you can definitely make your event unforgettable if you spend time on the details. This wedding is a perfect example of that! The fabulous Jesi Haack was at it again and outdid herself with creative touches throughout the event that pulled through the passion and personality of her clients. The main color scheme for their wedding was black, white, and apple green and we definitely had a lot of fun with it! The fabulous venue was the Red Horse Barn and the wonderful rentals were from Classic Party Rentals! Thanks to Matthew Morgan we have gorgeous images of the special day! I think he captured the couple, Ryan & Danielle, perfectly! Of course I had to throw in some of my photos as well since I am obsessed with my camera!

How cute is the set up that Jesi made for the name cards! Danielle is a teacher so they used apples, alphabet cards, and yo yo’s!

The goodies that they set out for the kids were simply adorable!

As always Jesi made me a fantastic backdrop for my dessert display! Danielle and Ryan wanted to go a little more rustic and homespun with the desserts so we did six individual cakes for them with different fillings and frostings so their guests could choose their favorite. They wanted to offer their guests a variety of mini desserts too. We used black cake stands, plates, and green liners to pull the color scheme through.

I normally am not a huge fan of cake toppers because they are usually boring and don’t have any personal touches to them, but I LOVED this one! It added such a fun aspect to the dessert display…great find Danielle!

And here are a couple more photos of the beautiful couple!

Sarah & Cezanne’s Wedding

Friday, July 24th, 2009

I have been waiting for a while to post this uber-fun wedding! I knew when I first met the couple that this was going to be very creative and beautiful wedding! They had such fabulous ideas and weren’t scared of putting in the extra time to pull off a one-of-a-kind dessert display. Not only were they super creative, but their wedding planner and my personal friend, Jesi Haack of Jesi Haack Weddings, is one of those people who is SO talented and loves pulling off gorgeous, yet unique events! Thanks so much to my other friend, Adrianne Bonafede, who is a great photographer and came along with me to help capture a lot of these yummy images. Their wedding photographer, Juan Posada, of Posada Photo shot some lovely images too and was kind enough to share them with me!

On a side note I wanted to say “THANK YOU” to all my blog readers because this past week I passed the 1,000,000 view mark!!! I could’ve never imagined having that many views on my site…when my husband first suggested I start writing a blog I thought he was crazy…I remember saying to him “Who would want to read what I write and look at my silly little photos!” BUT I guess I was mistaken, and I have to say thanks for proving me wrong! This has been so much fun and I absolutely love getting to connect with people all over the world through this silly little blog!

Here is a little behind the scenes info about the wedding via Jesi Haack’s blog…

“This clean, modern, design inspired wedding showcased Sarah and Cezanne’s love for ultra-hip designer, Jonathan Adler and The Parker, a chic resort in Palm Springs. From the custom designed monogram, courtesy of the groom, to the fruity, Creamsicle signature cocktails, it was impossible for their guests not to feel drenched in chic exuberance. Each reception table claimed the name of one of the couples’ favorite mid century designers and the fortune cookie favors illustrated the story of their engagement. Everywhere they looked the guests were refreshed with an eyeful of buttercream yellow, tangerine orange and lime green detail. The tantalizingly tempting dessert display had every taste bud in the room screaming for a mini-cake lollipop, or a mouthful of cotton candy. Paired with the newly renovated, modern decor of The Belamar Hotel in Manhattan Beach, it was a dynamic display that could not be matched. Maybe not even by The Parker itself ”

Sarah & Cezanne both wanted their guests to enjoy an array of tasty mini desserts as well as having a custom wedding cake that incorporated the pattern they created which was seen throughout their wedding. We used edible frosting sheets to print the pattern on the cake as well as on the sugar cookies and then created handmade sugar orchids to surround the top tier of the cake. I have to say that my sister outdid herself with these flowers…they are gorgeous!

Here are some more details shots of the wedding!

For the mini desserts we decided to pull the yellow and orange color scheme throughout the look by adding cute candy to the cupcakes and using liners that matched too!

We then dipped the chocolate cake pops and pretzels in matching chocolate as well.

A couple more detail shots of the wedding…

And last, but not least the glorious little mini key lime pies, passion fruit, coconut, macadamia nut tarts, and monogram cookies…aren’t they cute!

And what’s a dessert bar without a little cotton candy!

Thanks so much Sarah & Cezanne for letting me be apart of your special day!

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. You can click here to see the whole process of the last order.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my photos! I do love being able to share them with you!

More Random Events

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

Here is the last batch of random photos from my crazy week. I did an order for a baby shower office party and they wanted cookies that were stars and cars. As you can see from the photo I didn’t really do the realistic route, but made it more cartoon-like. For that same order I also did chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. I colored the buttercream to match the cookie colors and then added a lime green fondant accent. And lastly they order 24 mini key lime pies…these are definitely one of my favorites.

I also had a cupcake wedding last weekend…yes, one day before my friend’s wedding! The bride had quite a colorful wedding and wanted 5 colors combined in the cupcake order…orange, deep pink, deep purple, turquoise, and sage green. She sent me over a photo of with the sample colors and they looked quite pretty together…very vibrant and colorful. I don’t have tons of photos of the order since I was so crunched for time and also since I had my assistant deliver the cupcakes for me. However one of my friends who was at the wedding snapped a photo of the cupcakes for me, so I thought I would post it. My brother-in-law made this cupcake tower for me and this was the first time I tried it out. Each tier comes apart and there are actually four more tiers that could go on it if I wanted it for a bigger event. Here is also a photo of one of the color schemes on some cupcakes. They had purple heart fondant accents with their initials “I+M” on it.
