everything being made with clear vessels of love...

A Little Sanding Sugar

How easy would these be to recreate?
You could buy a premade cake...
Grab a stencil and some sanding sugar and voila...
Gorgeous, in a spooky kind of way, isn't it?

I Want To Be A Princess

We are on Spring Break this week...

We decided to be tourists in our own city...

We packed up & headed to a resort...

Yesterday, we went to the happiest place on earth...

Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom...

My favorite place...

Here is where I want to live...

Here is some inspiration for princess cakes...

Because I know that's what I want to be when I grow up...

You?

Sweet and Saucy

Yesterday I posted yummy eye candy about the pink & orange wedding...

What I want to highlight today is the amazing shop owner, Melody from Sweet and Saucy,

who created these beautiful treats on the dessert bar from the pics yesterday...

I clicked on her website and found more delicious eye candy...

AND her blog...

You know how I am when I find something I like...

I love to share...

Well...I must tell you that I read every page she posted on her blog...

it was that good!

She shared tips, techniques, how-to's, pics, stories, ideas...

She is now definitely on my daily read list!

You should definitely check her out...

She's A-MA-ZING!

Too bad she didn't live close to me...

She'd be my new BFF...

Typical Cakes? I Think Not!

I was reading an article from One Charming Party that was talking about how many times people go into a store and buy everything matching according to their theme. Example: An Elmo party so you go buy Elmo plates, Elmo cups, Elmo napkins, Elmo goody bags, plastic Elmo tablecloth and then you go to your local grocery and buy the Elmo sheet cake.

No! No! No!

You can have an Elmo party but no matching everythings! Instead incorporate the reds, yellows and blacks with a few hints of Elmos.

One big point to mention was that she encouraged NOT to buy that grocery store themed sheet cake but to get one that is unique, different, one that will have people talking...

Like these...

This one is my fave...

check out that Chanel bag!

Have you ever seen anything so adorable in all your life?

Now these are NOT your typical cakes!

Pink Cake Box is very, very talented, no?

Don't you just love???

Visit her site for more eye candy...you will be impressed!
