Reviews for Papercake Designs
Larissa really worked with me on my budget and the design we were looking for. We corresponded back and forth, until they were perfect. I was definatley impressed with the packaging, especially when I realized she had already put all the peacock feathers and invitations into the envelopes. Thanks for saving me so much time!
Larissa really listened to everything that we wanted and created a unique set of stationary just for us. From our invites to our programs, everything looked amazing. We loved that we could personalize everything and not work with some huge company over the internet. She is also very reasonable for all the personalized work she did for us. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. I think she also does other types of invites, so I plan to use her services again in the future. :)
Larissa and Papercake Designs is my #1 go-to boutique stationer for all of my weddings and events. Larissa is not only uber-creative, she is so much fun and easy to work with. All of her work is handcrafted impeccably, and she never ceases to amaze me with her creativity, professionalism, and style. I highly recommend Larissa and Papercake Designs for beautiful and creative stationery that is truly custom to your own tastes and themes.
Larissa is such a wonderful and creative person to work with. I always looked forward to are meetings and had such a great time working with Larissa. Larissa helped to make our save-the-dates, wedding invitations, programs, dinner menus, table cards, wedding favor labels, and table numbers look AMAZING. I have gotten soooo... many compliments from friends and family. She definitely helped us to come up with something that was EXTREMELY beautiful, unique, and reflected our personalities. Larissa was GREAT to work with. Thanks Larissa for all your hard work. You helped to make our wedding a very wonderful day.
I absolutely LOVE the invitations Larissa made for our wedding. After flipping through several books at stationary stores and clicking through numerous websites, we knew custom was the way to go. Larissa met us after work one night and we brainstormed and came up with an amazing invitation. When she mailed us the samples, I was so excited! She came up with a great design, knew which papers and colors would work together, and delivered a great product! She also had them made up and shipped to us so quickly...Thank you Larissa.
Larissa, THANK YOU so much for ALL your help! I got nothing but the best service from Papercake Designs, most reasonably price, and best looking invitations and programs! Larissa was very flexible (she was able to accommodate me despite having a rush order!), and she responds to phone calls and emails right away - one VERY important thing that you don't get from other companies. Believe me, it SAVES your sanity to have that instant communication with your vendor in case of changes, additions, and deletions. Until now, my friends still talk about how creative and the invitations and programs are. In fact, a few of my single friends already want to copy them :-) I recommend Papercake Desigs all the way!!
Thank you for the invites! They look great and I love the fact that I didn't have to pay an arm and a leg for postage for the R.S.V.P postcards! Everyone that we have talked to just loves the invites! Alot of them haven't seen that style of wedding invite before!
Larissa was wonderful and stress-free to work with. The stationary came out beautiful!
“With Papercake, we designed our invitations exactly the way we wanted them… & for half the price!
Custom is the way to go for unique, handmade invites!”
“Papercake really made the vision for our wedding come alive. Their creativity & professionalism are out of this world!”
“We've received calls from so many telling us how nice the invitations were. Absolutely nothing but rave reviews!!! Larissa did a great job. Thanks so much!”

Anyone else craving Cupcakes?
Yes, I’ve been craving cupcakes lately and I have no idea why. It must be the holiday season! I also want to plan a fun cocktail list to try at this year’s family get-together {that shall be a separate post}.
Anyway, back to my cupcake craving, my local fave in the San Francisco Bay Area is Kara’s Cupcakes, i love that they sell mini cupcakes + their cake is super moist. I would really like to try Sibby’s Cupcakery in San Mateo, but they are an appointment/order only bakery {I need to host a party soon so I can order the Sibby’s Sampler}.
{once upon a time…my old biz-partner, karin, made these cupcakes shown above. maybe she remembers the flavors, but oh how I want one now!}
Honestly, I should really find time to bake my own cupcakes, but which recipe do I choose? Frostings too? help!
Ok, maybe I’ll make a stop today to get my quick fix at the Vanilla Moon Bakery in San Carlos {after I meet my client to drop off her ceremony programs of course} …wait, come to think of it, the dessert table for her San Francisco Presidio wedding this weekend will be set with cupcakes from That Takes The Cake {check out the creative cupcake names + their Cocktail Cupcakes}! I have not been to this bakery yet, so that’s that, I’m definitely stopping by this turkey weekend since we’ll be hanging out downtown in the Marina /Union Street area! Done.
>> below are a few cupcake blogs with helpful info on finding a local cupcake shop along with some unique recipes too. Please let me know {& the bloggers} if you have a favorite local shop that is not listed. You should give those mom-n-pop shops a shout-out so everyone near by can stop by to relieve their cupcake craving too!
Ah-ha! I just found this post over at San Francisco Style Unveiled, it lists the Top 10 cup-cakeries in the SF Bay Area! {they also have a few more city’s to check out here}

Update: Sharon’s Lavender Invitation
We completed Sharon & Roger’s wedding invitation package last week & below is the final result {also shown below is Nhaman & Jeremy’s package, which this design was based on}. Can you pick out the custom changes between these two booklet designs? Sharon & Roger designed their own monogram, incorporated their wedding colors of lavender, silver & ivory into the paper & ink {we even added a darker purple paper for more contrast}, changed the font and finally slipped in a lavender embellishment to their 3-layer belly-band! It’s amazing how different these invites now look after changing a few personal touches. > Read more about the early stages of their design process here}.

Cuppie is a Cake Spy…
I’ve recently been introduced to a super adorable illustration of “cuppie” at the Cake Spy Blog & Shop {via the Bella Cupcake Couture Blog > where you’ll find chic cupcake wrappers to adorn your dessert table for any event; see photo below}.
Anywho, I’m so happy to report that this Dessert Detective Agency not only has creative & unique recipes, but some fun stories hidden throughout {my personal favorite would be the history of the Pop-Tart}. Enjoy… and please tell me what recipe you want to try & how it goes, or if you find a funny story you like, I may have missed it!
