Saving the Top Tier
I have a secret to admit. As much as I honor tradition in a wedding I did not save the top tier of my wedding cake. If you had a camera in my honeymoon suite you would have seen my brand new husband and I chowing down on our top tier in full wedding gear about ten seconds after we finished jumping up and down on the bed.
Most brides can handle their sweet tooth and post-reception hunger pangs better than I can and they Read More
Beachin’ It
It’s the truth. I wish I was like every other person in South Carolina and celebrating this gorgeous long weekend at the beach. However, we bought a new house this year so the beach vacation got sliced from the budget.
This makes me happy most of the time but now that it’s hot and people are out shooting Read More
Stunning Indian Inspired Cake
There are cakes. And then there are cakes.
The first time I saw this cake, I immediately became a convert to all things bright and colorful.
Jasmine Clouser of The Couture Cakery is truly an artist. Her cakes are detailed beyond belief and perfectly capture the mood of the moment. In this case, the bride and groom were married in a traditional Indian wedding ceremony at the Hershey Lodge in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The room where the ceremony was held was transformed into the reception spot as well.
After the ceremony, the bride, Meera, changed Read More
Pink Cupcakes
I often ask myself…”Why do cupcakes only come with one color frosting?”
Okay, I don’t really ask myself that. However, I will from this day forward, after seeing these chocolate cupcakes with multi-colored frosting little beauties. It’s subtle enough that you have to look closely… Read More
Save Ten Percent on Personalized M&Ms!
Okay, so…m&ms are not the same thing as cake. I have not gone off my rocker. However, last spring I went to a wedding where the bride and groom gave out personalized m&ms as their wedding favor. Did it freak me out that I was chomping down on a candy coated shell with my friend’s face plastered on it? Absolutely not. Because..hello, they are m&ms, People. They melt in your mouth, not in your hand.
I thought it was an adorable way to send your guests home with a tasty treat. Rather than just throwing together coordinated wedding colors (pink and green per usual), you can also include pictures, sayings, and special dates. Of course, we all know these can work in a million different ways, not just for for weddings. Bridal Showers, Read More

Royal Jewels…Made of Sugar!
I know what you’re thinking…two posts in one day?! What!
Consider this my wedding gift from me…to you…no thank you note required. Oh, who am I kidding? I have Royal Wedding Fever. I’d post 14 posts a day if Brooke would let me. I indulge in her love of plaid..so maybe she would.
But I digress..again. Because this got me all kinds of excited today. Visualize the next few words I am about to type in your head Read More

Perhaps this could be your Royal Wedding Breakfast, as many Read More
Shopping for the perfect Bridesmaid and Groomsmen Gifts
I have three loves..blogging, eating, and shopping. Since I often combine my love of blogging and eating (hello, cake), today I decided to combine blogging with my other love: shopping.
More specifically, I’m talking Bridesmaid and Groomsmen gift shopping. I am sure I am not alone in this but I had the HARDEST time coming up with a bridesmaid gift. I had eight bridesmaid ranging in ages 14-26. Seriously, I was stumped. Should I go with something different for everyone? Should I find something generic that would suit them all? And, most importantly, how could I buy eight nice gifts for the most Read More
