Weddings - also known as Fairy Tales with Cake and Dessert...



Fairy tales exist.
They really do.

Especially when they involve lots of cakes and more desserts than you can count.

Oh wait, think we call those weddings! ;)
> Check out how we 'bake with love'

We had a chance to get involved with one of those fairy tale weddings recently, with a very apt 'Fairy Tale Knights' theme... bliss!
         > Get some sweet treats:
            Sugar & Spice
            Sweet, Sweet Strawberries

The couple chose a lovely silver, pink and white as their wedding colors, and we were thrilled to play a part creating their church luncheon dessert table, and the wedding gala dinner at night.

The Wedding Dessert Table
We had their theme colors accentuating the cute mini desserts

And itty-bitty personalized tags with the couple's
names and wedding emblem 

A little kerfuffle of panic when the air-conditioning
didn't work (humidity is dessert's worst enemy!),
but it got sorted and everything turned out perfectly.

Dessert world's definition of 'living life on the edge' LOL.  

The color-themed candy bar piled high with happiness
in all sorts of pink and white shapes and forms

Spot the Knights & Castle centerpiece, with
hidden mini cupcakes scattered around ...

Do you feel dreamy yet?

Glorious blooms adding zing to every table


The Gala Dinner
The amazing dinner ballroom, just minutes before the guests arrived

Our pride and joy - the 2-tier wedding cake
awash in pink and white blooms

Every one of the 130 guests received a
hand-wrapped slice of wedding cake to bring home

It was a mad day with too little sleep and too much to do,
but a beautiful note of thanks wiped all that away in a snap.
So. Worth. It.

A very lovely Elephant day...

So I had a surgeon tinkering about my knee a couple of days ago, fixing my torn ligament. 

I'm now hobbling around like a grandma, and it takes me forever just to arrive at the bathroom. 

"Hmmm..." said the surgeon when I asked if I could go back to baking by this week. Which in doctor-speak, is NO. 

Guess that makes this just the time to sit my hiney down and get back to blogging :)

I had the perfect entry to cheer things up - baby Teja's one year birthday bash, just before I checked in for my day with the surgeon.

Love doing dessert tables!

This was an extra special bash.
Teja's mommy is a dear friend, and I had the chance to collaborate with summer77 - another special friend who's also a baker.

Mommy's brief was simple - greens, purples, elephants - Teja's faves.

We started out with an elephant-themed invite, and the rest of the setup quickly fell into place...

A little corner to share a little love for the birthday princess

Beautiful chocolate elephant cake, baked by summer77. Took all my
resolve not to reach out and lick some of that purple frosting right off!

Sprinkles and splashes of green & purple
add magic to the strawberry cake pops

Edible landscape of berry financiers & mini
mushroom pies, where do we start?

Finally had a chance to do layered sweet treats
I'd been dying to try out. Next to do them in jars, super cute!

Just for the snackers - pretty jars of crunchies and munchies

Everyone got to bring home a triple chocolate brownie, sweet!
