The Royal Wedding Cake

I'm obsessing over cakes lately, can you tell :)!  I was anxiously awaiting the reveal of The Royal Wedding Cake....and they did not disappoint!   This cake is stunning and the details are incredible,.  It is covered in cream and white icing with over 900 sugar paste flowers all hand-crafted.  Fiona Cairns was the talented cake designer who spent 5 weeks working on the cake covering it not just in flowers but ivy leaves and gorgeous lace work.  The cake was topped with the Royal Couple's cipher.  Take a look:

Eight tiers of beauty!

the details are just incredible

Fab Friday Find: Wedding Favors

I have been busy working on a gala for the A Message of Hope Cancer Fund.  A fantastic organization that provides financial assistance to families battling cancer and the medical bills associated with it.  We are doing several dessert tables and one of which are mini cakes.   So I have been researching different designs and in my search I cam upon these!  How cool are they!!!!!  Adorable mini cakes, aren't they?  But no, my friends, these are made out of chocolate!  Yes, chocolate!  Look at the details on these babies.

They are Luxurious Wedding Chocolate Wedding Candy Cake Wedding Favors from Luxurious Wedding Accessories.  These absolutely exquisite favors are made from solid gourmet chocolate and delicately embellished.   The candy cake wedding favor can be designed to match your wedding cake, decor colors and theme.  The possibilities are endless!

S'more Peeps!

I thought I'd bring you some s'more peeps :) for your Easter dessert table.  If you like the traditional s'mores, this is for you....simple and with a of pop of color.  Assemble the same way you would your s'more: graham crackers, piece of chocolate (I always use Hershey's), and add your marshmallow Peep!
Easy, yummy and oh, so pretty!

Happy Monday!

 It's Spring Break here this week so I warn that the blog post maybe late in the day, if any at all :)!  Yes, all three kiddos are home and we will be taking a short vacation for a few days starting Wednesday and we will be back next week.  It seems only fitting that I start the week with this lovely print that I found on Pinterest.  Spending way to much time on this site but I LOVE it!.

Captures our home quite well, I think!

Happy Friday!

Hope you get the chance to deconstruct a cupcake this weekend!

Wedding Inspiration: Green and White

We will be at The Rooftop at Rockville Town Center's Wedding Gala Event  this weekend and I've been busy getting our table ready.  I though I'd share with you my inspiration board for this event.  I wanted a light, soft romantic feel, with lots of elegance and paid homage to Spring.  I love the color green and added a white and silver to it.  What do you think?
