Bridal Inspirations

This summer, Jenelle of Pink Polka Design married Terence!  I was so excited when she allowed me to create something different for her wedding.  She wanted something chic and sweet.  So I decided to create Jenelle and Terence these fun mini brownie cakes.  Jenelle created all the stationary, place cards, menus and banners for her wedding including the little flags for the cakes...for her wedding favours she designed personal note cards!  So cute I can barely take it!

J & T also asked if they could take some wedding photos in our cake studio...here's one of my favourites!  You can find more modern photos by JDS Photography here.

Here are the creative people behind this super chic wedding: James Design Studios (JDS) Photography, Pink Polka Wedding Design, Nuance Occasions, Elegant Touches and Whimsical Cake Studio.

Their wedding was featured on the FABULOUS Style Me Pretty website.  Read about the wedding and see more details by clicking here!

Sweets and Treats and Lots of Fun

As promised...photos of Kenna's first Birthday! I'm just gonna let the photos do most of the talking.

The fun invitations made by Pink Polka Design (photo from Jenelle's Blog). Jenelle also made all the signs for the games, the big poster for the entry way and the dessert table tags!

The Dessert Table (we had mini donuts, peanuts, cotton candy, chocolate mustaches, cupcakes, elephant sugar cookies, salt water taffy) On a side table we had a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine & old fashioned sodas.

Party Favours (Dumbo books for Kenna's friends and photo cards of Kenna with a mustach for all)!

Pick-a-Duck
Kenna's 2 year old cutie-pie cousin Izzy was later on found swimming in the pick-a-duck!

Kissing Booth guessing game

Petting Zoo...I didn't get my baby elephants or miniature ponies, but we got all sorts of fun little creatures!


Fat Franks...the bill was something like 59 smokies, 61 hotdogs, 30 hamburgers, 20 cheeseburgers, 5 bacon cheeseburgers and a partidge and pear flippin tree consumed by our guests...who also ate BBQ and Filipino food served up by Ken's parents! CRAZY!!!


It's not a party until the bouncy deflates on the children attending the party...so many kids that day...waaay too many and only 1 cried...

She partied all afternoon...

...and got all tuckered out.

How do we top this for next year? WE JUST DON'T. Kenna gets a little birthday party at home with pancit, pizza and cake (if she will actually eat it)! Thanks for reading!
