Featured Wedding: Jennie & Adam - Simple. Pretty. Elegant.

Jennie and Adam were married on the Fourth of July at the Hale Koa Hotel.  They chose the Hale Koa because they are a pet friendly venue so their loveable dog Noah could be their ring bearer and precede them down the aisle. I love that! 

I personally know Jenny through her brother, who my boyfriend and I have been friends with for the past several years.  Being able to provide the wedding cakes for our friend’s special events is one of the most rewarding parts of our job.  And after knowing Jennie for many years, it was especially great news to learn about their engagement, and an event greater pleasure to provide their wedding cake! 

For their cake, Jennie and Adam decided on a cupcake tree display of 120 cupcakes of all Devils Food Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cup filling and Chocolate or White Buttercream Icing.  The display was accented with fresh purple and white orchids.  Simple, pretty and elegant!

Congratulations Jennie and Adam, and thank for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Cupcakes & Aprons

Earlier this year we were had the opportunity to participate in a fun photo shoot for 50th issue of Military Spouse Magazine.  Although I am not a military wife (I'm not married), I was thankful when photographer Athena Plichta of Athena Plichta Photography asked me if I wanted to participate in this project.  I believe in supporting those who protect our country and was thrilled when I heard their theme.  The concept for this shoot was 'Cupcakes & Aprons' and would featuring vintage 1950's themed dresses, cute hair styles and yummy desserts.  Our models for the shoot were real life military spouses Adria Libby & Amanda Ogletree - Air Force spouses, and Jessica Cortezpena - Navy spouse.  The girls did a great job transforming to a different decade with the help of outfits from Catherine's Closet, make-up by Corvette De La Cruz and hairstyling by Monae Johnson Watkins.  Propping and styling to turn the modern kitchen to a setting perfect Beaver Cleaver's mother was done by Karine France-Matsumoto of Seasons of Life Wedding & Event Planning.  

For the cupcakes we made our Yellow Butter Cupcakes with buttercream icing.  The cupcakes were decorated with a sweet and summery yellow, pink and white color scheme perfect for any tea party with your girlfriends.  Each cupcake was topped with gumpaste white daisies, yellow bows, and pink buttercream roses & begonias. 

You can pick up your copy of Military Spouse Magazine in bookstores, on base or military commissary exchanges.

  

These shots weren't published in the magazine but I still love them!  Thanks girls!
