Cake Pops Featured on Style Me Pretty

May 8, 2012 by Lauren

Isn’t Style Me Pretty just a total swoon-fest??? We could get sucked into looking at gorgeous weddings for hours on their site. We’ve been so excited to have our cake pops be featured there a few times now and are anxiously checking daily to see if another one of our sweet brides’ special day has made the coveted pages of SMP. In March, we were giddy because we were featured once again with the following surprise wedding!

Back in December we were contacted by Jacin of Lovely Little Details for an order of cake pops for a surprise New Years Eve wedding. We loved the idea of surprising all of your family and friends that instead of attending your engagement party, they’d be witness to your very special nuptials that day. Peach, mint and gold glitter were the colors of the day. And with all of that shiny gold, the photos from the happy bride and groom’s day taken by Flory Photo came out with such a warm lovely glow, enjoy!

Cake Pop display for launch of Today’s Bride newest issue!

April 26, 2012 by Lauren

Back in March we created a shiny, glamorous, yet industrial and funky display for an “Industrial Glam” themed party to celebrate the newest issue of Today’s Bride. Flawlessly coordinated by MB Wedding Designs and Events, the event was over on Treasure Island at the Winery SF and our whole team (all four of us!), got all dressed up and trekked over for a night of drinks and cuisine by Thomas John Events, dancing, even a photobooth!

We had so much fun planning and building this display that we’ve now officially added dessert displays to our repertoire! We’ve created quite a few over the past couple of years and have a blast doing them! I’ll be sharing some of those with you soon too. See below for some images from the event captured by our friend and phenomenal photographer Michele Beckwith.

Lovely Little Cake Pops!

April 13, 2012 by Lauren

Last night we joined a gorgeous group of wedding professionals and Bay Area lovelies at Blu Bungalow to fete our friend Jacin, owner of Lovely Little Details on the launch of her new website design and branding. Everything looked fabulous from the Oh Happy Day inspired crepe paper garland to the Bellini bar to Jacin’s own color coordinated frock! We provided glittery cake pops and even worked in a little of Jacin’s branding by writing “Lovely” on some.

We loved our sign Jacin made for us, she's one of our faves too!

Pie Pops!

As mentioned on our Twitter feed and Facebook page, we launched our own lovely little item last night at the party, Pie Pops! That’s right, in addition to the delicious and fun cake pops, we’re now baking yummy pie pops!!! Stay tuned for more details and a fabulous photo shoot by Michele Beckwith in Monday’s blog post.

March 21, 2012 by Lauren

Often we’re given inspiration images to work from and we love the challenge! Below are a few images of recent cake pops we’ve created using these fabric inspired prints from Kelly Lyden, The Well-Heeled Hostess as a reference.
