Let Them Eat Cake: Sunday Round-Up for May 22, 2011

Posted on May 22, 2011 by Brooke

What a pretty week it has been! While my BPIP (Blog Partner In Pretty), Christen, has been out and about, scouring the best and most delicious treats for the boys out there (HELLO – ice cream groom’s cake! Brill!) I’ve been taking note of all the busy bakers that I have the pleasure to hobnob with. And yesterday evening, I had a real treat, as I got a peak at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando’s wedding salon. Can you say opulence-to-die-for? I’m hoping to have LOTS of pretty pictures and details to share with you about that experience soon! But in the meantime, let’s see what’s going on in the World of Wedding, checking in with all the latest News:
