* Sweet & Stunning…

Posted on February 9th, 2011 by Jeannie. Filed under Uncategorized.


One of the best bakeries in all of Los Angeles, Sweet and Saucy Bake Shop, have unveiled some of their very latest wedding cake creations. I am in awe of them and had to share the sweetness. Who knew a mustard yellow cake could be so beautiful? The golden goodies, below, are actually girl scout cookies coated in edible gold paint.

I feel like everything I am loving lately is food related! Now, the above project is actually about the personalization of paper labels for a very cute dessert table, but I can’t stop checking out those brownies! ♥♥♥

Thanks to Victoria Hudgins for baking this one up - and Carly Taylor for the images.

* For the Love of Bundt Cakes

Posted on February 7th, 2011 by Jeannie. Filed under Color Palettes, Wedding Cakes.


Besides their moist texture, bundt cakes are eternally cute and these chocolate mini’s specifically are just beautiful! Chelsea Fuss put this dessert display together for us, and I think it would be stunning to serve this to party guests. I am also absolutely struck with this chocolate brown and orange color palette.

* Trend Spotting: Save the Date Videos

Posted on February 3rd, 2011 by Kate. Filed under Things we heart.


I’ve had several Save-The-Date videos land in my inbox lately.. and I think it is a super-fun trend.. so I thought I’d share a few cute ones!  If you’re wanting to get creative with saving the date…  think about how lit up your friends and family will be when they watch. ♥

This first one comes from Mallory Berry at MGB Photo:

My favorite part is always the music… It’s so fun when the lyrics match up just so.. I’m in awe of what genius that must take..
