Kristen Got Married!


OUR LITTLE GIRL IS MARRIED!
That's right folks our own lovely shoppe girl Kristen tied the knot with her wonderful fiance (now hubby) Chris! Like Kristen the wedding was elegant and cute as a button.
Kristen and Chris wanted to share their love of sweets with their guests and ordered 10 cake combinations! Rather than traditional floral centerpieces, they chose to go a tastier route. Each table was decorated with its own 2 layer 7 inch cake!
Because Chris has lovingly nicknamed Kristen "Button" they wanted to make that a subtle part of their special day. The bride and groom cut a 3 layer white cake coated with vanilla buttercream and ornamented with an array of fondant buttons. In accordance each of their centerpiece cakes were decorated like different buttons from their cutting cake. Hope Duke (the couples adorable bull dog) got a little slice too!





Mimi and Dustin shared a groovy day at Evergreen Lake House this August. This fun funky couple celebrated their special day embracing the 70's!
Along with baby blue, yellow, orange and brown decorations, their tables were ordained with false mustaches for their guests. The desserts too embraced Mimi and Dustin's love for lighthearted fun. Their delectable red velvet cutting cake, covered in baby blue fondant, was adorned with 3-D mustaches and topped with a fondant replica of a "Here Comes the Sun" vinyl record! To finish off the dessert table we made an assortment of banana, white, chocolate, and red velvet cupcakes each of which was topped with it's own retro 'stash.
Thanks for such a memorable arrangement!
Peace, Love, and Sweet Lives!
