It is always a sweet surprise to be asked to participate in projects of such a great magazine, and it's even more fun to be asked to participate on such "sweet" fun projects! Such was the case when I received a call from Holly of Houston Modern Luxury Brides Magazine to participate in the Fall/Winter 2010 issue's cake section.

The challenge: Come up with a non-wedding wedding cake
The ideas that came to mind: A menagerie of cupcakes, truffles and cookies!
The result: See the image below...

Featured here: Our signature "Almond with Raspberry & Cream Cheese filling" cupcakes, along with our popular "Red Velvet with Cream Cheese filling". Yes, our cupcakes ARE filled.
Truffles featured: White Chocolate Amaretto and Milk Chocolate Almond

Check out the full article:

It is always a true honor for us to be asked to participate and look forward to future challenges! Thank you Molly, Lisa and Holly!

Lauren + Geoff: The Wedding, Part II

{Photos by Sunny 16 Photography}

As promised, here is the second part to Lauren + Geoff's beautiful wedding. I loved that Lauren + Geoff had so many personal touches, from writing their own vows, to the groomsmen breaking into a special song as Lauren + Geoff were introduced as Mr. & Mrs. This garden fete included some beautiful vintage porcelain containers for the centerpieces, as well as the subtle butterfly theme on the wedding cake, as well as the invitations. Everything was so dainty, natural, yet elegant.

Lauren + Geoff are surrounded by artists in their lives, from musicians to dancers, so it was no big surprise that this would certainly be a party, as noted in some of the last shots. Another big THANK YOU to Sam Le of Sunny 16 Photography for capturing such beautiful images! Enjoy!

The wedding party having some fun for the camera.

Love the details!

It was such a touching ceremony...many guests were seen with tears in their eyes after hearing Lauren + Geoff's vows.

Congratulations again Lauren + Geoff...thank you for entrusting us to be a part of your beautiful day!

Lauren + Geoff: The Wedding, Part I

{Photos by Sunny 16 Photography}

I'm excited to finally share with you all the wonderful pictures capturing Lauren + Geoff's beautiful wedding. Sam Le of Sunny 16 Photography sure has made my job difficult with so many pictures to choose from! Lauren + Geoff got married on May 15th; well, if all you Houstonians remember, that was the one Saturday that we enjoyed a heck of a lot of rain! It started raining the day before and didn't really let up until about two o'clock that Saturday. Normally, that would be okay, only problem was that this beautiful wedding was set to be held outdoors! Although we had a back up plan, it wasn't quite the same and guests would have been in a tight squeeze.

Well Mother Nature just wanted to test our patience, as well as that of the beautiful bride's and the handsome groom. I have to give my wonderful Associate Planner, Sarah so much credit for the phenomenal job in handling her FIRST wedding by herself and taking on all the challenges that came with working around Mother Nature. I had my own outdoor wedding at another location (another future post about that), so I wasn't even around for this one. In the end, Mother Nature switched gears and let the sun come out and Lauren + Geoff had their dream wedding just as originally planned.

I have so many pictures to share, so this is going to be a two-part blog so that I can overload you with some great eye candy! First up, the pre-ceremony portion with detail shots. Thank you again Sam for the GORGEOUS pictures! Enjoy!
