Wedded Bliss.

Here are some snapshots from a recent wedding. The bride chose to do a cookie bar for her guests alongside the buffet. It was a total hit. I watched some guests come back 4 times. I even saw one person put 13 (yes. THIRTEEN) desserts on one tiny plate (because the bag wouldn't hold enough :). She also chose to do mini cupcakes in place of a wedding cake. They looked amazing and 400 cupcakes were gone in a matter of minutes. Mmmm. Sweet wedded bliss!

She had 8 different kinds of cookies. Aside from the flavors pictured, she also had puffed rice treats, sugar cookies with fresh whipped vanilla buttercream, snickerdoodles, and classic chocolate chip. And her cupcakes were all chocolate cake, with chocolate ganache filled with pistachio cream rolled in crushed pistachios, vanilla buttercream topped with a soft sour cream sugar cookie in a peppermint glaze, cream cheese frosting rolled in vanilla tinted coconut, and a simple almond glazed. The colors looked AMAZING and everything turned out supremely "sweet".

All of these amazing photos were graciously given to me by the very talented Adilfa Ford at Don Polo Photography. Check out her site. She's been in the business for years and she is amazing. And so spunky and nice.

Winter Wedding

Here are some pictures from a beautiful Winter wedding. We did a dessert bar and a cupcake tower wedding cake. Photos by the talented Heather Tycksen at Heather Tycksen Photography.

Cupcake tower wedding cake in reds and creams. Cream-filled chocolate cakes topped with chocolate ganache and personalized monogram cookies. Chocolate cakes topped with cream cheese frosting and tinted coconut. Vanilla cakes topped with home-made vanilla almond marshmallow cream and dipped in white chocolate. Vanilla cakes filled with fresh raspberry butter cream and topped with amaretto-whipped butter cream and fresh raspberries.

Cupcakes surrounded the tower on an elegantly dressed table.

The dessert bar included: Milk chocolate dipped peanut butter blondies, meyer lemon bars, mini berry-topped cheesecakes, white-mint-dipped brownies, sour cream sugar cookies, white and milk chocolate dipped strawberries, and coconut macaroons.

I had so much fun. And thank goodness my mama came to the rescue and aided me in dipping and transporting these sweet confections. Aren't moms the best? Well mine is anyway.

Kari and Justin Wedding

One of my bestest friends was married last weekend in a beautiful backyard ceremony. Their colors were red, white, and black. And YES, they are UofU fans, and YES I did spot more than one UofU tie amongst the guests. I'm ok with that though, being a UofU alumnus myself...
Anyhoo, here are some photos of their cupcakes. The flavors are (all with chocolate cake) Peppermint, Cookies and Cream, Fresh Strawberry, and Vanilla Coconut.

PS Stop by and see moi (and lots of the coolest stuff you've ever seen) at the OH Sweet Sadie! store September 17th-19th at SoDa Row in Daybreak.

Kaycee Stroh Wedding

I am finally able to share a couple of pictures from Kaycee's wedding in January! She chose to do a Cookie Bar for her favor. The guests were invited to fill a glassine bag with a selection of homemade cookies and then they sealed the bag with a sticker that was printed with Kaycee and Ben's monogram. This was so much fun for the guests, and was the perfect end to the night as they waited for the valet to bring their cars...



And as a side note, the cookies that Ben and Kaycee chose were: Sugar cookies with buttercream frosting, peanut butter brownies, chocolate cake cookies, chocolate chip cookies, snickerdoodles, mexican wedding cakes, puffed rice treats with a chocolate drizzle, and oatmeal with white chocolate and cranberries. She had cranberries with her arrangements, so we added cranberries to one of the cookies and we also had cranberries as fillers in the jars. It turned out great and it was so much fun!

Grand America Bridal Show

Today I did my first Bridal Show and it was AMAZING! I had so much fun. I also had so much nervous energy that I didn't stop moving or talking all day long. But it was great.
