Thankful & Blessed...Every Single Day

I am thankful and blessed to be alive, loved, safe and secure. I thank God every single day for my blessings - and there are many; far too numerous to mention. Be thankful for the ability to see each new day, as the present is truly a gift.

With A Cherry On Top...

Just a little something sweet with a cherry on top. Let's start the holiday season right - with a yellow butter cake, topped with Madagascar Vanilla Buttercream and of course, a cherry on top! Happy Holidays! Give Thanks! And thanks to William for my fabulous watermark.

Just A Little Something Sweet...

I wanted to bake a cake, but decided to do something in 'miniature'. This is a milk chocolate cake, covered in chocolate ganache, decorated in pink. Stay tuned for what's next...

The Wedding Salon - The Roosevelt Hotel - New York

On Monday, November 2nd, I attended 4PM Events' exclusive bridal event - The Wedding Salon! It was held at the The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC and it was amazing. Beautiful gowns, incredible table settings, fabulous considerations for honeymoons, in short - a bride's dream! I only wished my daughter was with me to see the fabulousness! La Maison Du Chocolat-Paris was in attendance giving out samples of their premium chocolate (ooh la la - incredible!). There were breathtaking floral displays by Celebrate Flowers, and my favorite - CAKE!!! All hail gateau!!! Crumbs Bake Shop doled out bite sized cupcakes that simply melted in your mouth. Make My Cake Bakery and Cafe distributed generous sample sized red velvet cakes that were dense, rich and clearly - not from a mix! This was REAL cake - the kind they teach you to make in culinary school. Kudos! David Tutera, Bridal Guru, celbrity wedding planner and host of WE TV's hit show "My Fair Wedding" featured his special occasion dress house collaboration with Faviana. Stunning dresses from 0 to 24 (God Bless You for remember the tiny girls AND the big girls!) Solotu - Custom Made Bridal House was there offering the bride to be an opportunity to have a one of a kind gown. Fabulous! It was a wonderful event, and gave an awe inspiring look into the wedding business. I often get so "caught up in the cake", that I forget what elaborate feasts for the eye a wedding can create! - Check out some photos from the event.
