Rustic Fall Photo Shoot

Recently I had the opportunity to have one of my photographer friends spend the day at the shop photographing some of our sweet treats. Becky Brown of Becky Brown Photography is a phenomenal photographer working in the Indianapolis-Chicago areas. When she told me she was working on developing her food photog skills and wanted to come hang out for the day I just couldn't wait! You see, Becky has some serious talent and I knew she was going to capture some amazing shots...and well she did. Check out some of my personal favs!

Ok, after looking at these I'm pretty hungry....let's hope I have a spare macaroon!

HUGE thank you to Becky...I love the shots. Next time let's do a winter shoot ;-)

Alissa & Nick!

Two weeks ago Alissa and Nick had their wedding & reception at The Hawthornes Country Club (uber amazing venue!!) located in Fishers, IN. I absolutely loved working with this family...they were so into every little detail...and really wanted a fantastic couture cake. (YAY! for me ;-)) Here are a few pics from the wedding {and cake} thanks to my fantastic neighbors who attended the event!! Enjoy.

I am pretty sure rhinestones are fantastic!

Cutting of the cake!

Um...seriously gorgeous couple!!

Congratulations Alissa & Nick!

Next up...Stephanie & Chase

Have you heard the news??!!

I haven't posted in a very long time-I blame wedding/graduation season 100%! It's that time of year where every spring weekend is filled with weddings, showers and parties..it keeps me hoppin'!

Yeah, yeah I'm busy...I'm always nutty busy, that's not the reason for this post. I wanted to officially let my people (all 48 of you) know the big news. We are growing! Well, actually I am growing, at a very rapid rate non the less. Yes, if you haven't heard my husband and I are expecting our first baby in October. We are just over the moon with excitement and can't wait for her to get here. Yes, I said her....It's a GIRL!!

So after all of the joy/excitement/panic subsided I really had to think long and hard about what to do with the cake biz. This totally freaks me out--it is our second "official" year of business and it is growing like crazy. The thought of having to turn customers away makes me nauseous (and it's not from the pickles and jalapeno chips I had for breakfast). After thinking long and hard I came to this conclusion....We are going to be closed from October through January 1st. This might not seem drastic to many of you, but for a custom bakery with one employee, it is.

During this 3 month hiatus I will still be responding to e-mails and booking appointments for the 2012 wedding season which I will begin consultations for in December...just no making of the cakes.

I hope everyone understands this decision is uber hard for me (I am a bit of an obsessive when it comes to cakes) but it is what I feel I need to do for our new little Leisure :-)

Side bar: If you are planning on a spring 2012 wedding I recommend giving me a ring soon. I am already booking for May and June :-)

Peonies, Lace & Vintage Keys

Last week was a strange week filled with many different emotions. We saw storms devastate the south, crazy flooding all over the midwest and rain that I thought would never go away. Even London had predictions for rain on the day of the Royal Wedding. But just like in London the rain moved out of Indianapolis to make for one amazing wedding weekend--the "official" start to our wedding season.

Saturday's wedding took place at the historic Laurel Hall . This venue has history and charm oozing out of every little nook and cranny. Add the bride and groom's vision and some seriously talented wedding professionals and you get near perfection.

I must say it was a pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful day.











Thanks for stopping by!
