Mountain Wedding

I was asked to copy a "rustic" cake for a wedding up in Big Bear, CA last week. Here is the result:

And at the ceremony, what a great setup!!

It was gorgeous up there, a perfect late winter outdoor mountain wedding!

Cheers!

Congratulations Elena & Kris!

Yesterday was insane! But we had so much fun! Elena and Kris had a vision for a rustic backyard style wedding, with some elegant touches thrown in. My team was amazing this week. I had so many assistants that wet above and beyond!! (and they all looked nice and rested, unlike yours truly!!)

Congratulations Elena & Kris!! May the two of you have a wonderful life together. And to your mother? A huge thankyou for being such a wonderful hostess!!! On her 39th wedding anniversary no less!

I will have to sit down this week and edit the shots I took with my big Nikon. And put up a proper post, you know, with details!!

Cheers!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wow, the new recipe I tried out this week? It's amazing!!!

Caramaly, soft, chewy, yes, completely worth the 36hrs the dough sat in the fridge!

I got the recipe from Emily over at cupcakesandcashmere.com

It's amazing!! Looking forward to doing cookie bars this year! I did make mine smaller, I got 8 dozen cookies out of the batch. But what I'm making cookies for, smaller was more appropriate! (it's a dessert bar type thing) I do agree that bigger would be better!!!

Now, back to my cupcaking! And then I have two birthday cakes to tackle. Fun fun!!

Cheers!
