A Lovely Spring Bridal Shower

Two of our best friends are getting married this September, but unfortunately they are on the same day!  I am the matron of honor in one and Chris is a groomsman in the other.  Since I am very sad to be missing the one wedding, I was excited to be able to do the cake and favors for the bridal shower a few weeks ago! It was a fabulous day for a lovely outdoor spring shower.  The cake was red velvet the brides favorite! 

Of course I am not looking at the camera!

A Girly Elmo Party!

I would say Elmo and Sesame Street are the most popularly requested theme for children's parties.  I had fun doing a girly version for an Elmo Party this past weekend.  They had a fun pizza party and they ordered these adorable centerpieces for the party from which I drew some inspiration from!

New York Magazine Wedding Event 2012 Photos!

The New York Magazine Wedding Event last week was fabulous, I met a ton of wonderful new brides, event planners, caterers, bloggers and photographers!  

I wanted to show you the dessert table I put together for it.  I had Raquel from Raquel Bianca Creative shoot my work for the event. Raquel has been my photographer and designer for over a year now, and takes all my site photography. I asbosultely love working with her!  First, she makes my work look incredible! She is also someone you can count on which is great.  I never send an email and have to wait days for her to respond, she is super reliable! I also love that she is always sending me ideas to help me grow my business which, is much appreciated when you have a small business.  

About four months ago she launched Raquel Bianca Creative, a photography & paper design company based here in New York. She shoots children & infants, portraits, fashion, engagement, food, events and more. She also designs invitations and created the paper tags you see on my wedding display. This aspect of her business is unique because she can shoot your photo, and then design the card or announcements that you send out to friends and family. 

February Fun!

February was an exciting month filled with a lot of small custom projects.  I have become obsessed with instagram! I have really enjoyed capturing all of the projects with it, so I wanted to share them with you here!  

Our wonderful wedding photographer, Maggie Harkov, posted some pictures from our wedding and I wanted to share those with you as well.  You can see them in her most recent blog :)

Strawberry Shortcake!

My youngest niece, Monica, celebrated her 3rd Birthday last weekend with a Strawbery Shortcake themed party! After the penguin, I decided I wanted to try a small 3d character.  She wasn't perfect and I learned a lot about making characters.  I was proud with my first try and happy that I can now offer this level of detail to others!  My sister made some fabulous cupcakes and an adorable cake for the Strawberry Shortcake to go on.  I also sent her strawberry cake pops, but she made the rest!  

My fabulous website designer and photographer, Raquel, designed the cupcake flags for the party.  She has started her own business you can see all of her wonderful work on her website Raquel Bianca!

Have a great weekend!

Day 5 til Christmas!!

Some Christmas Tree Facts For You :)

• Forego throwing out your Christmas tree and make it lunch. The Evergreen is actually edible, well most parts of it anyway. In addition, it is nutrient enriched, so if you take the advice stated previously you'd be getting a good source of Vitamin C and roughage. Don't mind that you will be eating a tree; it's just one step away from any other vegetable.
• According to the National Christmas Tree Association, Americans buy 37.1 million real Christmas trees each year; 25 percent of them are from the nation's 5,000 choose-and-cut farms.
• Animal Crackers are not really crackers, but cookies that were imported to the United States from England in the late 1800s. Barnum's circus-like boxes were designed with a string handle so that they could be hung on a Christmas tree.

Day 8 til Christmas!

Did you know....

Before settling on the name of Tiny Tim for his character in "A Christmas Carol," three other alliterative names were considered by Charles Dickens. They were Little Larry, Puny Pete, and Small Sam.

Reindeer Cake Pops!

Day 10 til Christmas!

Did you know.....

Candy canes began as straight white sticks of sugar candy used to decorated the Christmas trees. A choirmaster at Cologne Cathedral decided have the ends bent to depict a shepherd's crook and he would pass them out to the children to keep them quiet during the services. It wasn't until about the 20th century that candy canes acquired their red stripes.

Wedding Cake & Dessert Table!

I apologize for the delay, I promised these photos to you when I posted my other wedding cakes almost a month ago! Where does the time go?!?  I had the pleasure of doing the wedding cake and dessert table for a friend I used to work with at JCrew.  I have never done a dessert table this large and vast so I was excited when she gave me the opportunity.  It was a fun experience and the bride was patient enough to work with me through it.  I knew someone that attended the wedding so was able to get a great shot of them enjoying my cake. I was really happy with the outcome and definately learned a few lessons along the way :)

   

Autism Speaks

I was honored to be apart of an event for such a wonderful organization.  An incredible and scary fact that I learned while I was there is that 1 in every 110 children and 1 in every 70 boys are affected by Autism. Autism Speaks has helped raised awareness for this wide spread disease and is the largest contributor to research. The committee put on a fabulous event last week at the Juliet Supper Club and I wanted to share some of the treats that I did for them.  

I had the pleasure of meeting the photographer Debbie Miracolo (debbie@debbiemiracolo.com), who was nice enough to share her photos with me.  She did a wonderful job capturing my food and some great candid photos from the event (Check out more pictures from the event).  She specializes in events and portraiture, so the next time you have an event or need a photographer for your children she is great!  

Little Miss Party Planner

Over the past few months I have had the pleasure of doing some treats for Little Miss Party Planner (LMP).  The owner Seri and her partner Michelle both had previous careers at JCrew like me!  We actually did not know each other there but were introduced by a mutual colleague.  Together they have started a fabulous little party planning company that specializes in small spaces (for all of us that live in Manhattan).  So the next time you are having a birthday or a special event and you want someone to plan and caterer an amazing little party make sure to think of them!  In the mean time I wanted to share some recent events that they did and I supplied some treats for.

Most recent was the Girls Night Out with Benefit Cosmetics that they did for 100 Layer Cake and I made cheesecake cake pops for it.

They put on an adorable yellow and grey Baby Shower for their friend Rachel and I made gold dusted cake pops and the poodle cookie pops favors.

In the spring I made cake pops and banana pops for their 40th birthday brunch party.

Have a great weekend :)

Wedding cakes & some other pretty cakes

I wanted to share with you some of the small wedding cakes I have started to do.  At the moment I only do buttercream cakes.  I personally like them better because I believe the fondant takes away from the taste and quality of the cake (KbyK only promises to give you the best)!  I am excited to be doing another 3 tier wedding cake and entire dessert table this weekend.  Stay tuned for the photos!

This shower cake was for a wedding that will be in Costa Rica in February!
