Catching up! 

Hope everyone is having a great week!  We celebrated our one year anniversary on Monday, I cannot believe it has been a year - time really does fly! I had saved the wedding cake topper I made for our cake pop tower and we had some on Monday night, it actually held up pretty good! 

 

Now that fall is officially here, I wanted to share the remainder of the summer projects I have not shown you!

This cake was for our good friend Jason's 30th Birthday Party!

A Weekend of Weddings!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend, with this lovely weather I do not know how you could not :) It was a perfect weekend for weddings!  One of my best friends got married in Westerly, RI and it was an absolutely perfect and incredibly fun wedding!  I was so honored to be the Matron of Honor (same friend as the garden party shower) and stand up for Caitlin! Unfortunately, my husband was in one of our best friends weddings this weekend as well (a lovely spring bridal shower) that I was very sad to miss.  My lovely photographer Raquel also got married this weekend!  I was also honored to do two of the grooms cakes which I shared below (sorry I did not get the best pictures of these).  

Congrats to all of the newlyweds!

My Baby Shower

I hope everyone had as wonderful of a weekend as I did!  The Grandma's to be and my sister threw me a truly amazing shower this past Sunday at Bottino, I could of not asked for anything better!  The weather was perfect since they have a garden attached to their party room.  I have also been to a bridal shower at Bottino and both times they did an incredible job.  I highly recommend them if you are looking for a shower venue in NYC.  I was so blessed to have so many of my friends and family there and I cannot thank everyone enough for their generosity.  

I designed the cakes, but my trusty assistant made them for me (so the business is in good hands for when I have to take a short break :) ).  

I loved the favors my sister did .  She found this adorable favor idea on pinterest, "It's a Girl OPI nail polish", unfortunately I did not get a good picture of it.  

Now, hopefully she will be born before Halloween (my due date is October 28th), since she has so many adorable outfits to wear for her first Halloween!  She even has a costume, thanks to her cousin that was born 8 years ago in October :)

 

Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing fall weather!

Back to School!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Labor Day weekend!  It was a quiet one over here, so nothing too exciting to report.  I did some organzing for the baby and tested out some pumpkin recipes for the fall menu :)

School officially started this week and fall is here (altough it still feels like summer out there in the gross humidity), so I made a fun Back to School Basket that I wanted to share with you.  Good luck to my youngest niece, Monica starts her first say of pre-school today!
