Movie Ticket Winners & A big Thank You!

First, the winners for tickets to go see New Moon!:)

We used a very complex random generating process from Random.org involving randomly selecting a vendor who has a blog/facebook/twitter, randomly selecting one of those from the vendor, then randomly selecting a commenter/retweeter. Ahhhhhh! After all that, winners have been selected and will be contacted by the vendor they commented on.:)

From Posh Pastry’s Blog: Kaci Tetstone
From Pure’s Twitter: Amanda (SwoonOverIt)
From Unique Design’s Blog: Kathy (KB Cakes)
From Kari’s Facebook: Shanna Dixon

And we also wanted to send out a “Thank You” to a couple blogs who featured us! You can click on the screenshot to go check out their posts!

Secret Project.... Twilght concept wedding!!!

I am so excited to finally be able to share our secret project!!!! Here's how it started...

Due to a slight obsession, {Unique Designs} wanted to create a Twilight wedding invitation, an idea which blossomed into a full concept design and shoot. The intent was not to replicate Bella & Edward’s wedding, which was actually an Anne of Green Gables dress and was filled with white flowers, but to make another wedding style based on the mood and concept of Twilight. To acknowledge Edward’s personality, we chose a dramatic look with bold flowers, strong reds, and splashes of black feathers. To incorporate Bella, we wanted to take a vintage twist which can be seen in the creams, vintage brooches, and antique lace.

When Giovanni, from Unique Designs, called and asked me to be part of this project I was thrilled. My mind was racing with ideas. I wanted to make a cake that was elegant, timeless, and beautiful like Edward. I brought in Bella's softer side with a lace design and vintage style brooches. I have so many pictures to share. I'm going to start with a few of my favorites. The cake features a cut sugar lace design with sashes and bows that are made of sugar too!


Here is a close up shot of my cake and the stunning invite by Unique Designs. I
can't believe how well they go together!!! Beautiful aren't they?

Here is a preview of the daylight shoot, which was also incredibly beautiful... come back later today to see more and to find out how to win tickets to the movie!!!!!

I want to send a very special thank you to all of the vendors who made this photo shoot so amazing! Make sure to visit their website and blogs for more images of our Twilight New Moon photo shoot.

She sells sea shells...


Well, not really, I just like that rhyme.

I love the simple beauty of this cake. It was for a small beach themed wedding. The shells are hand made from white chocolate. The bride wanted a really clean simple look, so we kept the shells all white and added a little shimmer to make them stand out.

This is a close up view of the shells. Not only are they pretty, but they are yummy too!

I want one!!!


I admit, this post has nothing to do with cakes but it's my blog so I guess I can talk about whatever I like. When I saw a picture of this bike I wanted one sooo bad. It has such a cool casual feel. Maybe you have to be a mom with an ugly yellow bike cart hooked up behind your bike to appreciate the beauty of this thing. Since Christmas is coming up, I just thought I put this out there. Do you love it too?

Secret Project


I am so excited about a secret project I have coming up. It's super creative and I'm sure you are all going to love it! I have been working on this design for a while now. I've been keeping a sketch book beside my bed and drawing up new stuff every night, when I should be sleeping.

I can't wait to share this with all of you!!!
