Cakes are special.
Every birthday, every celebration ends with something sweet,
a cake,
and people remember. It's all about the memories. --Buddy Valastro

Custom Spring Wedding Flower Set

We are gearing up for my dear friend Emily's wedding in a few weeks! (Stay tuned to see her wedding cake too) We thought we would practice some flower arranging to get a good idea of what she would like for her big day.


White rose with yellow and pink alstroemeria and some bling highlights for her mom and mom-in-law's wrist corsages


White roses with ribbon and bling for the mens' boutonnieres


This was the most fun to create! White roses, alstroemeria and daffodil bridal bouquet. It turned out to be such a happy, spring-time bouquet! We added a brooch and a trail of pearls down the side for elegance.


AND! Instead of leaving the bottom of the stems exposed, we decorated them with some more bling! 
The pins on the bottom really gave the bouquet an elegant look and tied the whole piece together.


A custom bridal bouquet with matching boutonnieres and corsages are a beautiful part of any wedding plan, but you don't need to break the bank to get your hands on them! 
Instead of spending $200-300 on these details, you could spend it on your honeymoon, things you'll need for your apartment/house, going out on a few dates, paying of your ______ or saving up for ______.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy 26th birthday to ME! I had a great ol' day and got to spend time with the people I love.

It didn't last long... 


Don't let a bakery charge you for a yucky cake!
Let me take care of your next birthday

Christmas Daisy Cake

This is the cake I made for my brother's wedding last Christmas. My sister-in-law wanted something elegant and simple with a real Gerber daisy to top it.


The top layer is chocolate cake and it is frosted with buttercream

Simple and Elegant bouquet and flowers

My younger brother got married around Christmas and had a beautiful
 red, brown and cream themed wedding. 

Red Gerber daisies and cream Calla Lilies for the bride.



Even the groom got a lily

I also did 5 corsages for the women in the party (white carnations with red ribbons) and 4 boutonnieres for the men (red Gerber's with red ribbons)

For the Teal Wedding

After pricing out several cake options for her wedding, my best friend asked me if I would be willing to make her wedding cake for her. Having been married just a few months before and knowing how insanely expensive it is to get even a simply decorated cake, I agreed.  


This is my first wedding cake
(The couple's colors were teal, black and silver)



While I was at it, she asked me to come up with some boutonnieres and corsages for the families. Teal flowers are tough to come by (especially in October), so we went with white roses (for the men) and carnations (for the women) with silver, black and teal highlights.
