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!

Lincoln’s Baby Shower

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Well, when my sweet friends Gabriel & Carlie, who are also the fabulous photography team behind Gabriel Ryan Photography, asked me if I could help out with some sweet treats for their baby shower I jumped at the chance!  Not only are they the sweetest couple ever, but some of the most talented and amazingly creative too!  They also recruited Jesi Haack, from Jesi Haack Weddings, and Carissa, from JL Designs, to help out with the design and florals too…how could I ever turn down that dream team opportunity!  Those two ladies surprise me every time with their fresh, new ideas…  

Little Lincoln’s day was one for the books, the style, creativeness, and love behind this event is clearly evident in the photos to come!  Everyone added their special touch to the day and it turned out perfect!  I am so excited for Carlie and Gabriel and blessed to have them, and soon baby Lincoln, in my life!  Another fun perk of the day was that I got to use my NEW CAMERA!  I have basically been wanting a professional camera for 4 years now and recently was able to get one for my birthday…I have been ADDICTED ever since!  I even bought a new purse so my new little baby would be able to go everywhere with me.  Gabriel was kind enough to go with me camera shopping and boy was I happy!  I got a Canon 50D, a 50mm lens, and a 28-135mm lens. Of course Gabriel’s fabulous photos outshine mine by a million degrees, but I thought I would include some of my detail shots for the heck of it!  I hope you enjoy the eye candy!

I can’t say enough about all the details that were not left undone.  I believe that the most important part of any event are the personal touches and this shower had more than I can count…oh by the way, how cute is the mother-to-be!!!

How gorgeous are these handmade necklaces Carliee and her girlfriend made for the special women in her life!  She also graciously gave us the most fabulous little button rings which I so wish I had a photo of…think Anthropolgie!
