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.

For the desserts we wanted a modern, eclectic look.

Of course when I need amazing designed dessert cards, edible graphics, or packaging details I always call my bestest girls over at Posh Paperie & this time they definitely didn’t disappoint.

I thought this picture wall was such a great way to pull in personal moments that were so special to them.

An Eventful Post

Friday, January 15th, 2010

Well as you probably know these kind of posts come up every couple months when I have so many small events that I want to feature, so I cram them all together into one large, mega post!  There is a lot of eye candy coming up, so definitely let me know what’s your favorite!  First off I recently got to do a wedding with Jesi Haack Weddings & Sarah K Chen at The Marvimon House (which I LOVE).  I met Jessica, the bride, at The White Dress in Cornona Del Mar when we did a wedding showcase there and we definitely hit it off.  She told me her and her fiance, Curt, wanted to have an out-of-the-box kind of wedding cake.  The wanted sleek, modern, and rustic all at the same time and threw out the idea of a square cake that looked like a real block of wood, SO that is just what we did.  They had goodies on the dessert table from friends, family, and local bakeries, but we were really happy to do their special wedding cake.  Their wedding was to say the least AMAZING…it has been featured all over the wedding blog world, so I am pretty sure you have seen the photos already, but if not here is just a little sneak peak into their special day.  To see all the photos from their wedding check out this post! Thanks for the great photos Sarah!

This next cake was for a baby shower and they had an owl invitation they wanted me to grab inspiration from.  She wanted the cake to be simple and modern with some fun accents.  They were also kind enough to send me some personal photos that they took at the shower…thanks!

Now these two deadly cookies are my main addiction every day in the bakery!  My sole mission is trying to not grab one from the front of the store and eat it, but sadly I fail often!  Chocolate Chunk Cookies & White Chocolate Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are in the shop daily, so if you are near by definitely stop in!

Well hopefully I didn’t tempt you guys too much and ruin your diet for the day…if I did, I apologize!

The Pyke’s Wedding!!!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

First off I do have to say sorry to my loyal visitors for my temporary absence this past week…BUT get ready for a lot of posts this week!!!  I had my busiest week ever for my little company, Sweet & Saucy, and literally worked 16 hour days every day and ended off the week with a 20 hour work day two days before one of my best friend’s weddings (If you do the math…yes, I only got 4 hours of sleep!). All of that being said I had an amazing time at their wedding and had the privilege of making their cake and cookies and even being a bridesmaid.  I wouldn’t necessarily recommend trying to do both, but in the end it was all worth it! Here are some of my favorite photos from the wedding.  For those of you who don’t know, I got the silhouette cookie cutters custom made to fit their profile from The Victor Trading Company.  This company did an amazing job with the cutters and the end result was more than I could have asked for.  The wedding theme was “Silhouettes” and my friend Karrie (the bride), who is a graphic designer too, made the theme carry through the whole wedding seamlessly…she even had the lady from Disneyland who cuts silhouettes come and cut the each guest’s silhouette!  Their wedding photographer, Amy Squires, from WeddingChicks.com was absolutely amazing!!! I highly recommend her to any new bride looking for a fantastic photographer.  I was also lucky enough to have a couple shots she took of my desserts and of the gorgeous bride and groom.  Now I know most bloggers don’t like showing personal photos on their site, but I just can’t help sharing my joy with you all, so I hope you enjoy these photos!

The cake was two different flavors: chocolate cake with chocolate mousse buttercream and strawberries AND coconut cake with lemon cream filling and coconut cream cheese frosting!  The middle tier is so tall because it is two normal size cakes stacked on top of each other with supports in between.  Lastly, I covered the whole cake in swiss meringue buttercream and piped tiny white dots onto it.  I lined each layer with gray ribbon and her wonderful florist added the flowers.
