Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone made it through the storm ok!  We were very lucky to never lose power in our home, but unfortunately the kitchen is out of power :(  We hope we will be up and running by the weekend!  No baby news here fortunately/unfortunately so we are now just in the waiting game! We hope everyone has a safe Halloween and our thoughts and prayers are with all those families who do not have power and had serious damage.

Fall Wedding Cakes

I wanted to share some fun and pretty fall wedding cakes I have done recently :)

This first one was at the Housing Works Bookstore!  It was such a unique setting.  Instead of one big cake they chose to have 5 small cakes with all different flavors.  

This next wedding was at the Alger House which is on an adorable block in the heart of the west village.

This wedding was in the beautiful Battery Gardens downtown and a fun one for me to work on since it was for a friend of mine from when I worked at JCrew.

This was a small shower cake that is a little more spring themed, but I loved the simplicity of it.

This last one was actually for a birthday and a little more spring themed but I thought it was more bridal like.  It would be really pretty for a bridal shower or in white for a wedding.

New York Botanical Gardens and Wedding Dessert Table

Hope everyone had a great weekend and you are having a good week!  We are trying to keep busy over here  on the weekends, I am officially under the 2 week mark now (that is if she wants to come on time :) ).  My husband had the wonderful idea to visit the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx.  We have both never been and we were very glad we went!  It is a great weekend activity, even for those who have kids!  They have a section dedicated to children, which is now has a Halloween theme, where they can carve pumpkins etc.. over the holidays they are famous for the train show.  For adults, they have a wonderful Monet exhibit going on now and the rose garden is still in full bloom.  If you are looking for something to do, I highly recommend!

I also wanted to share with you a Wedding Dessert Table that I did.  The wedding was held at the Ink Hotel which has a stunning rooftop!  The dessert table was filled with yummy treats such as cake pops, oreo pops, mini cheese cakes, mini chocolate pretzel tarts, cookies and candy!

A Pumpkin Weekend!

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend (some a 3 day weekend :)).  We did some baby organizing; the nursery is just about done and my bags are packed!  With the chilly fall weather arriving I was craving pumpkin all weekend!  I made some yummy pumpkin oatmeal topped with dried cranberries and walnuts for breakfast. I shared my recipe below!  

In honor of Columbus day I made a large pot of sauce and meatballs on Sunday and we had some friends over to catch up.  I made these pumpkin cookies for dessert that were a huge hit!  They are fluffy and more cake like than cookie.  I made half the batch with chocolate chips and half without, guess which ones went first :)  

Note: I did not use a mixer and did everything in one bowl (mix all dry ingredients and add wet in and they came out great).   I also used half brown sugar and half white sugar and used almost a cup of chips for half the batch so I would advice using 1 1/2 - 2 cups of chocolate chips if you are a chocolate lover!

Pumpkin Oatmeal - Serves 2

1 cup Oats

1 3/4 cup of Water

2 tbs Wheat Germ

1/2 cup Pumpkin

1/4 cup Brown Sugar

1 tsp Cinnamon

1/8 tsp ground cloves

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 tbs dried cranberries and chopped walnuts to top (optional)

1. Measure all ingredients into a small saucepan

2. Make sure they are mixed well

3. Cook 5-6 minutes, occasionally stirring

4. Divide the portions and top with cranberries and walnuts

5. Enjoy!

Wedding Towers

I have been honored to be apart of numerous weddings over the last two months.  I wanted to share some pictures of dessert towers I did for two of them.  Both brides wanted to have a cake for the ceremonial cutting of the cake, but did want a 4 tier cake.  I helped them design a tower that allowed them to have a cake (small) and have some fun cake pops and cupcakes along with it.  

I will share some more fun and unique weddings next week!
