Kristen's Shower

One of my best and oldest friends is getting married in a month, I am very excited for her and cannot wait for her wedding!  Kristen and I sat next to each other in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since.  We played sports together growing up, she vacationed with my family and then we lived together in NYC after college.  We used to get quite the look when we went out together and we both introduced ourselves with the same name because we are also both petite with medium dark brown hair.  Her shower was this past weekend at the beautiful Glen Cove Mansion.  You can tell they do a lot of showers and weddings there; they were pros, super helpful and very prepared.  Savanna came with me for the first part of the shower and Chris was Mr. Flexible and came out to LI early and then picked her up (He also has her for his first solo weekend when I go to Florida for Kristen's Bachelorette).  Savanna enjoyed meeting some of my friends from High School that she hadn't met yet.  I was honored to do the dessert table for the shower and I wanted to share the details with you.  Per the bride's request I made a banana cake with chocolate filling, chocolate covered pretzels, mini mixed berry pies, cake pops and heart cookies.  Her bridesmaids dresses are a pretty coral from Jcrew so I did a color palette of light pink, coral and white.  

I hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day Weekend!

Little Miss Party Planner Events

Hope everyone is having a fabulous August week!  I wanted to share some of the treats I made for the wonderful parties that Little Miss Party Planner put together this spring and summer.  I have included the links for each party so you can check out their entire spread and beautiful decorations!

For a 30th birthday party on a boat in April, I made mini lemon meringue tarts, white chocoalte covered oreos, cheesecake pops AND the cake.  The birthday boy loved Kite Surfing :) LMP did a such a great job with the nautical theme.

For a 40th brithday party I made some fun cupcakes with an old photo from when the birthday boy was little as well as some 40 cake pops!  Don't you just love the way LMP displays everything!?!

For Seri's (one of the LMP owners), son's bris she put together an amazing party only a week after she gave birth!  This had a fun "Got Milk" theme and she used some pictures that were captured in the hospital.  I made "Got Milk" cookies, cupcakes, cow cake pops and some white chocolate covered oreos with an L for Luke! 

 For a lovely rustic bridal shower, I made some chocolate espresso cookies, pie pops and purple glitter cake pops!

 

We both share the same wonderful and talented photographer, Raquel, from Raquel Bianca Creative, and Raquel's sisters asked LMP to plan her Bridal Shower.  LMP centered the theme around Long Beach Island, where they are getting married, but added in a lot of cool camera props as well :)  If you check out Raquel's website you can see her cool paper design that she did for her wedding. For the party I had the pleasure of making some mini pie tarts, chocolate espresso cookies and some really cool camera cookies!

  

Bridal Showers

I wanted to share some pretty bridal showers I have done over the past few months.  I have been expanding and trying to learn some sugar flowers.  These are very basic for now, but glad I can offer them and will hopefully continue to teach myself some more :) 

I really love simple cakes with a pop of design (which here is the flowers)

This was a lovely shower hosted in a home in northern Westchester.  They were great and sent me a lot of pictures :)

The Whole Spread!

I did the desserts for the dessert table and they did a fabulous job putting it together.  There were a variety of mini sandwich cookies, berry pie bars, cupcakes, cakepops and mini peach and berry tarts!

This is not a great picture but I wanted to show you the cute cupcake designs upclose.  The bride to be just got a scooter and the invitation had a scooter and balloons on it so we matched it with the cupcakes.  

Look how beautiful the tables were and such cute favors!

These were cupcakes for a shower that I put their edible logo on

Another simple cake with some edible sunflowers (sorry also not a great picture!)

 Another simple yet elegant bridal shower cake with flowers :)

Dessert Table!

I had a lot of fun planning my first full dessert table!  It was for a unique little bridal shower.  There was dessert and champagne and a suprise treat from a guest speaker.  I thought the guest speaker was such a great idea from the host!  I decided to try and keep summer alive with sunflowers :)

PS Check out the new Fall Menu!

Invitations!

It is official they are out!  It is so exciting we are just under the 2 month mark now!  I wanted to share with you an image that are our dear friend and resident Hopkins Blue Jay cartoonist drew for us (we both played sports at Johns Hopkins which is where we met).  I made a custom stamp out of it to personalize our envelope.  For all you Brides out there it was really easy to do yourself on zazzle and the best part is if you don't like how they come out they are returnable (just make sure to weigh your full envelope before ordering).  

I also wanted to show off our gorgeous calligraphy done by our family friend.  As a thank you, I made her a peach tart with an almond struesal topping :)

smores..............

Second to ice-cream smores are favorite summer dessert, but you don't make them as much as an adult (which is why there is a smores cookie on my menu).  Since my nieces were in town I thought it would be a fun activity for them and I could be a child again and enjoy some smores :)They had curlers in their hair since my shower was on Sunday :)

Since the smores were so good, I started to think about other ways I could make a smore since one is not always in front of a fire.  So I made a smores k-pop with marshmallow mixed into a vanilla cake dipped in chocolate and coated in graham cracker crumbs.  

Then I made a smores pie pop filled with marshmallow and chocolate and a little graham crumbs.  Finally I made a smores push pops with crushed graham crackers, chocolate ganache and fluff (note: if I do again I would use my graham cookies).My smores cookie :)

Fourth of July Weekend!

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend, I was excited to finally get to the beach!  I wanted to share with you some Birthday Fourth of July themed cake pops and a lovely dinner I had with some great friends!

We rented a beach house with some friends and so I made these for the birthday boy in the house :) (it got a little damaged in my car ride out east).

A little boy turned 1 on the Fourth and celebrated his birthday with his Aunt!

When I got back to the city I continued the celebration with some great friends!  My friend Caitlin made a fabulous shredded Zucchini with Gruyere Pizza and a Bok Choy Salad.  I brought a Blueberry Galette.  I love the summer :) 

Lione Easter Pie

Every Easter my grandparents make their famous pizza rustica which is a secret family recipe (I was only allowed to learn how to make it a few years ago).  Pizza Rustica is a savory pie filled with 5 different types of italian meat, 3 different cheeses encrusted in a flaky crust.  It would be great for a mother's day brunch or birthday party as well so feel free to inquire about one for your next occasion.  

My Beautiful and Silly Nieces on Easter

An Engagement Package

A friend's sister recently got engaged so she had me send her and her fiance some treats to celebrate :)

Heart Pie Pops :)

A flakey crust shaped as heart and filled with your choice of jam, nutella or chocolate ganache.  These can be individually wrapped or filled in a cute heart shaped pail as gift.

Weddings

Over the past two months I have done some treats for two NYC Weddings.  Both brides ordered these to put in the hotel bags, but they could easily be used as favors too!  I also did mini pies this past summer for the hotel bags at a wedding. 

Thanksgiving Special!

Three 5inch pies (choose a variety apple, pecan, pumpkin, pear...) for the same price as one regular pie :)

 

Mini Pies!

My friend Kelly was married in July and I made mini peach and berry star pies for the hospitality bags!
