Thank you so much to a lovely customer, who sent me this photo of their custom cake topper for a baby shower.  I'm always thrilled to see the end result.  How adorable is this woodland theme?!  

Customer Photos: October 2016

Here's a photo of a sweet woodland-themed cake sent in by a lovely customer.  It's just magical!  

I love the tiny deer, and also the rustic sticks used to hold up the bunting.  

This lovely customer sent me a photo of the travel-themed baby shower that she hosted.  We worked on creating bunting in pink and aqua blue that would work with her hot-air balloon centerpieces.  They look so pretty! 

 Thank you so much to both of you for sharing - I love seeing all the creative ideas you come up with, and I hope lots of happy memories were made!

Treasury Time: Love Birds

It's spring, and a bird-themed wedding is such a sweet way to celebrate all the love that's in the air.  Included in this collection for love birds are little nests for place holders, mini bird cupcake toppers, and a tree stump cake stand made from natural wood.  Feathers show up as part of a bridal hairpiece and delicately tied to invitations.  A  bird cage isn't just for holding cards - adorn it with flowers for a beautiful centerpiece, and to add to the woodland theme, use vintage field guides and binoculars as table decorations.  I've tied it all together here with a color scheme of ivory and robin's egg blue.

New Items: Fairy Tale Cake Toppers

 

We had so much fun putting together these enchanting new cake toppers, which were inspired by classic childhood fairy tales. We made "Goldilocks" (on the left) with blue gingham, florals, honeyed yellows, and a wood print.  I think she would declare it "just right" for a teddy bear picnic or tea party...see more inspiration in the treasury below.  For a woodland-themed story book party, "Red Riding Hood" (right) includes red gingham, white florals, and a wood print.

Treasury Time: Enchanted Forest

This winter wedding collection evokes a cool, green forest veiled in ethereal mist. Natural elements including pine cones, feathers, nests, and leaves, and a quiet palette in grey and green create an enchanted through-the-woods theme. I love the elk antler hair comb, and the gorgeous hairstyle shown with it!
