Happy Bridal Shower Sonia!

 Happy Bridal Shower to our beautiful Bride to Be Sonia!  I get the honor and privilege of being one of Sonia's bridesmaid for her upcoming big special day next month!  I also got to baked some yummy goods for her bridal shower this past weekend!  I baked chocolate cake with american buttercream filled with strawberries and gum paste flowers, and chocolate macarons in the shape of cute little pineapples!  Can you tell what her favorite flavor sweets are?  Haha!  We had a Hawaiian theme shower since the wedding will be in Hawaii and she is from Hawaii!  She definitely embodies the aloha spirit and she literally lights up any room she walks into with her warm smile and happy heart!  Sonia is seriously one of the sweetest and happy loving people you'll ever meet!  I'm so happy and excited for this next chapter in her life, and she truly deserves all the love and happiness life can offer.  Congratulations again Sonia, can't wait for you and Eric to get hitched!!

Alvina's Bridal Shower

 

My best friend, Alvina, is getting married in September and I get the special honor of being Matron of Honor!  I hosted her bridal shower today and one of the things I made for her shower are her favorite Red Velvet cupcakes with Whipped-Cream Cream Cheese filling and buttercream frosting.  The decorations are all wedding related (the ring, "I Do", garter, and wedding dress) and then some Gerber daisies since she loves bright colors and happy flowers!  All the decorations are made out of fondant, and the ring has metallic pearls on top.  The Gerber daisies have some gold luster dust for some fancy pizazz.

The shower was tons of fun and it was simply wonderful to see the joy on Alvina's face!  I had a lot of fun making these sweet treats just for her, and I am glad I was able to give her a party that she will always remember!  She truly deserves to be so happy and I'm glad all her gal pals got to get together to shower her with our love!  Stay tuned in September to see part of my wedding gift to her, the Coastal theme cupcakes, cake and cupcake tower!

Jennifer's Bridal Shower!

My little sister is getting all grown up! As maid of honor it is my duty to pull together a great bridal shower for my favorite sister, so that also means I am in charge of making the best sweets for the bride to be! So I made Vanilla Bean Cupcakes with Matcha Green Tea Buttercream (thanks Chi Hai for the recipe!!!) For the decorations, I made wedding dresses, heart, flower and wedding cakes out of fondant and luster dust for a splash of elegance. We celebrated Jennifer's shower at my house for some appetizers and fun games, then made our way to dinner at Las Brisas in Laguna! We then enjoyed these sweet treats afterwards to end the wonderful of pampering and spoiling the bride to be!! We hope we created some great lasting memories for you Jennifer, congratulations to the bride to be! Can't wait to see you walk down the aisle, I betcha a gazillion bucks you'll look breathe taking =)!!! (and that Andrew will cry because he, unlike you, is not "Ironman" =P)

Humor for all you ladies out there!
- Men are like computers... hard to figure out and never have enough memory.
- Men are like coolers... load them with beer and you can take them anywhere.
- Men are like horoscopes.... they always tell you what to do and are usually wrong.
- Men are like plungers... they spend most of their lives in a hard ware store or the bathroom.
- "A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong." -Milton Berle
- If a man is in the forest, and there isn't a woman around, is he still wrong?

Lastly, "Nobody is perfect until you fall in love with them."

Happy Bridal Shower Jennifer!!! I hope you feel all the love we have for you and more and happy early congratulations to you and your future with Andrew! =) Love you sissy!
