I don’t think that I’ve mentioned in the last five minutes how much I love Paris.
The hubs and I honeymooned there. Sounds like a no brainer, right? Honeymoon in the City of Love (or Lights, if you prefer.) But it actually wasn’t our first choice.

Hello, Dears!
Today, I’m starting to turn away from the sparse winterishness of January, and toward the ardent blush of Valentine’s Day, which is just around the corner.
Do you celebrate? We don’t do much with it around these parts, but I love the sentiment of being sweet to everyone on V Day. It can be about romance, or you can expand the scope and make it a day to show love to all or those close to you. Remember those fun Read More

Cake Topper Friday: Sugar Peony Cake Topper
Sometimes in January, you just need a little color, yes? A reminder that spring will come again, and fun summer times will be on her heels.
I adore peonies. And from the looks of this Pink Peony Wedding Cake, this lovely White Wedding Cake with a big, flouncy pink peonies, and this Thai-inspired Wedding Cake with a gold-tinged peony, cake artists quite agree.
But today’s Read More

Adorable Bow-Accented Pink Wedding Cake
I just found my new favorite wedding. Well, for today, anyway.
This one is adorably quirky, and brings in elements of both the bride’s and groom’s heritages — which, I’m guessing, were Asian and Russian, respectively. My favorite touches? The ab Read More

Hawaiian Honeymoon Suitcase Wedding Cake
Hola, Everyone! And Happy New Year!
I know we’ve been a little…well…MIA of late. There was sickness involved. And perhaps an impromptu in law visit (don’t worry; it was a pleasure.) And there might be a thing or two besides writing about pretty cakes that I do to bring in the dollars here.
There. I said it.
But anyway! I’m back! And Read More
