Simple Chic Bridal Shower

Today I brightened another rainy day bridal shower with bright, springy cake pops!  My friend Becky is in a wedding this spring for a friend of hers, and I'm happy she asked me to make these for the shower!

These were simple and chic, not a whole lot to them in terms of complexity--the shower was meant to be simple but elegant and that is what I was going for here with scroll piping patters, fondant flowers and muted white/gray colors with pops of pink.

I went with the square plate for this one, as I think they are simple and allow the cakes to shine on their own without the distraction of ribbons and bows. 

Sixty little cakes, in red velvet, vanilla and chocolate flavors, sure to brighten anyone's day!

I hope the bride loves them!

A Cake in Uniform

A friend from culinary school approached me and asked if I would make a sampler for her brother and his fiancé.  They are having a military wedding and she thought it would be fun if she brought them cake pops styled for the Marines. It hit close to home, since my boyfriend is a former Marine and Veteran. I wanted to make them extra special.

So with the proud colors of the USA, I created these!

But I really wanted to make these special, I wanted them to symbolize the couple and the strength it takes to endure a military relationship. So I created what I envisioned would be their wedding day! 

The good buttons and red stripe of the Marine uniform and the glitzy pearls of a wedding dress, all edible and ready for admiration! 

Pretty good right? Louis and I won't have a military wedding someday, but we did get to dress snazzy for the marine ball a couple years ago! Gotta love a guy in uniform!

Anyways, the happy couple loved the treats and I will be making more for them soon!

Happy Monday! Take the week one sweet bite at a time!
