Bake It Pretty

It seems as though most of my posts are about food lately. Must be the pregnancy cravings. Either way, if you're planning on completing a DIY cupcake bar at your wedding, or just plain like to bake, you have to check out this online shop... Bake It Pretty. They stock everything from fancy baking supplies to pretty packaging and more!

Here are a few things on my wish list...

Cupcake Cuteness!

I just laid eyes on these cute cupcake kits by Meri Meri over at the Happy Lady Eats blog. Oh my goodness! I’m thinking these would be geared more towards a shower or a fun children’s party, but still, love them! There are a ton of styles to choose from, here, even one for the bride and groom!

These would definitely make a batch of plain ol' homemade cupcakes shine!

Mini Pies

Miniature food items always win me over, be it mini wedding cakes, mini pies, whatever!

I like the idea of having a mini wedding cake for every guest, but that will, no doubt, cost an arm an a leg. Just think about all the decorating involved!

Mini pies are a delicious alternative, that you could even make ahead of time, freeze, and bake for the big day! They're cute, can be very decorative, and everyone loves pie!

Check out this unique tutorial for making jar pies (pies made in mini jars), from the Not Martha blog. Perfect for an outdoor, casual reception!

Edible Art by Le Cupcake

Australia based cupcake artist, Kylie Lambert of Le Cupcake, has an eye for frosting. I saw Kylie’s extensive portfolio on her blog and flickr site, and was in awe of her talent. I honestly don’t think I could eat on of these little treats, I would rather trap in under a glass dome and save it for eternity!

Unfortunately I won’t be in the Sydney area anytime soon, but I will be following the Le Cupcake blog for more inspiration and ideas!

Hello Cupcake!

I saw this book titled Hello Cupcake! the other day at target and flipped through to find some amazing photography paired with step by step directions for the most amazing cupcakes ever! Now call me weird, but I have this thing about never buying books new, I don't know why, but that's just the way it is. So after I decided I needed it I headed over to amazon.com to check out the used price (hello $3.94).

I thought this would also be a great way to incorporate the little ones into your wedding day, without having to give up that glamorous wedding cake. 

Choose 2-3 different cupcake styles from the book, whip up a few batches with the help of your mom, or gal pals a few nights before, then watch the little ones jump for joy on your big day (and it might also distract them from licking the frosting off of your 5-tiered buttercream cake)!

Who needs cake when you have spoons!

These little wooden ice cream spoons remind me of grade school... so fun! You can find them at the paper cup design store...

There a fun twist on the wedding day desert!

I pulled this inspiration straight from the blue orchid design blog, check her out, she's always got great suggestions and some super fun freebies!
