We Love Custom Cupcakes!

As you may know from reading this blog, one of our favorite things about weddings (and celebrations of all kinds, really!) is the dessert. Now, we might be a tad biased being that we're a bakery but it's true! Desserts really top off a special event and give your guests one more memory to appreciate.

The cupcake craze has not let off-and why should it? Cupcakes are versatile, delicious, fun, and customizable! One of the latest wedding trends is dessert tables and custom-decorated cupcakes are a great way to have a fun and attractive display that leaves your guests satisfied, delighted and talking about your event for days.

Cupcake with Custom Anemone Flower

A cupcake tower can be filled with cupcakes of all flavors and decorated to suit the bride's tastes and decor of the wedding. It's something as beautiful as a huge traditional cake, but updated for the modern event.

Cupcake with Custom Bowtie Decoration

This week we've chosen to share some of our custom cupcake designs for formal events. These designs are perfect for a black-and-white wedding or any elegant event.

Cupcake with Custom Quilted Decoration

Custom-decorated cupcakes do require quite a bit of advance notice (we love things to be perfect and with these decorations, perfection takes some time), so give us a ring if you're looking to make a dessert display truly memorable!

As always, stay updated on our latest news at our Facebook page and Twitter! And hey, we love to hear from you--so tell us your dream custom cupcake!

The Oviatt Penthouse

This past weekend we had the pleasure of providing desserts for two weddings at one of our favorite venues, The Oviatt Penthouse in Downtown Los Angeles.

Dessert Table at the Oviatt Penthouse

The Oviatt Penthouse is atop the James Oviatt Building, an Art Deco highrise in Downtown Los Angeles. Built in 1927 on Olive Street, the Oviatt Building is designated as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.   The Penthouse, once the private residence of James Oviatt, is an amazing place to have an event. It boasts details like Lalique light fixtures, arched hallway ceilings, the art deco bar in the dining room...even the elevator is a work of art. From the moment you step inside the lobby on the first floor it's like going back to the 1930s.

Outside, the terrace is equally inviting with a tiled fountain and wrought iron arabesques. The atmosphere is magical during the day and even more so at night with the 360-degree views of Los Angeles.

Pies round out the table --everyone loves pie!

The exclusive caterer for the Oviatt is Truly Yours Catering, a company we are so grateful to have worked with over the past couple of years. For information and to see some amazing pictures check out the Oviatt's website. We often run specials for brides in conjunction with Truly Yours' bridal mixers. (Keep updated on our Facebook page!)

A simple yet elegant tower of cake, cakepops and cupcakes

Dessert tables have a special place in our hearts. They are the ultimate in custom wedding desserts. A bride can have something for everyone and have something different at the same time. Guest can enjoy cake, pie, cupcakes, and it's all their choice. Partygoers love going to the dessert table to pick out their favorite treat.

Victorian Gothic Wedding Dessert Table

Oftentimes, when someone tells you she's getting married, thoughts turn to white dresses, ethereal decorations, and string quartets at a country club. But since we're so close to All Hallows' Eve, let's take a departure from the well-traveled path. Our resident Lady of the Dark, Cheryl, created this macabre dessert table for the bride who wishes to wear black lace (or leather!) to her nuptials. She combined traditional goodies with elegant decor that will bring even the pickiest vampire out of the shadows for a petite sweet.

Victorian Gothic Wedding Dessert Table

Exquisite treats like macarons and a gorgeous lace-flower detailed cake are laid out with irresistible goodies that take us back to our teenage nights of watching scary movies and making popcorn. The dark side has a sweet side and yes, it's hard to decide on just one--so try it all!

Macabre Macarons

Popcorn Balls

Spiderwebbed Rice Krispie Treats

Caramel Apples and Dipped Pretzels

A cake for the most beautiful corpse bride...

This table was such a delight to create--Victorian, Gothic, Baroque..all of these styles hold so much elegance and beauty, but also a sense of drama and dreaminess that we just can't resist. It was such a treat to gather our darker decorations to bring this wedding dessert table together.

Until next time, stay your sweet selves!
