Cotton Candy Wedding

Inspiration can come from the most unexpected places. Today's inspiration board was inspired by a drink that I saw someone order today during lunch at TGI Fridays. Stay tuned next week when I reveal the inspiration for this post - and a really awesome signature drink!

Pearl Weddings

Pearls are a symbol of love and purity. Whether the pearls are a gift from the father of the bride to the groom or from the bride to her bridesmaids, they are the ultimate gem to convey elegance in your wedding.

Save on your Cake Costs!

Specialty wedding cakes can range anywhere from $5-$25 per slice and up. Depending on the flavors, materials, and handmade details in your cake, you could be facing a pretty large bill. If you're on a tight budget, cut down on the cake. If the specialty cake look is what you are going for, have a smaller dream cake made. It'll be much cheaper to do a very detailed cake for 50 people and have sheet cake reserved for the guests than a detailed wedding cake for 250 people. People will never know the difference!

Specialty Cake: Christian Louboutin Shoes!

I love specialty cakes. Many people overlook the wedding cake and choose something plain and simple. It's one of the last details they think about so it often gets overlooked. When people come to a wedding they love to see those little details that make your wedding stand out, and your cake is one of the first places they will look. Take the time to make it stand out. Get creative. If a specialty cake is more your style, have a unique cake made in addition to your wedding cake. Or, have a groom's cake at your rehearsal dinner. For my friend Jannet's wedding, I had an amazing shower cake made in the shape of one of her favorite things: Christian Louboutin shoes!


Not only did it look incredible, but the cake tasted great too. We chose vanilla cake with chocolate icing. It was SO delicious, it completely exceeded my expectations.

I had the cake made by Wendy's Cake Art in NJ. I can't say enough about them. The customer service was great, the prices were great, and there is no denying that it looked just like a shoe and shoebox!
