| Made to Create: A Shabby Chic <b>Wedding Cake</b> (and some <b>...</b> - Blogger Posted: 26 Apr 2014 07:23 AM PDT A few months ago I was asked by some friends of ours to make their wedding cake for them. I knew this would be a super busy time of year for me (STAAR testing week, ack!) but I wanted to bless our friends and the cake wouldn't need to be super large since it was to be a small wedding. After some pinterest inspiration, here is what I came up with.  J & K topper made by Kristyn, isn't it adorable?!  I couldn't leave out photos of Kristyn's hard work in decorating this beautiful outdoor space! She created pretty much all of it, enlisting Jason even to build these super awesome wooden planter boxes.  Their favors were jars of homemade raspberry jam! SO cute! "S'more Love ;)  Cake table decorated with cute little chalkboard signs, doily table cloth, and a "Love Never Fails" and "Thank you" banner.  A family united in love!  Their wonderful take on a guest book, a guest board! They created this board as well--just sign your name and leave a little blessing for the newlyweds. :)  LOVED the dinner table decor!!! Can't beat gorgeous fresh flowers!  Thanks so much for stopping by! I have been crazy busy but will be posting some paper crafting goodness soon! :) Blessings y'all! Janice |
| Freezing a <b>wedding cake</b>, any advice? - CakesDecor Posted: 26 Apr 2014 12:39 PM PDT Hello everyone! Next Saturday I have a 3 tiered wedding cake due, 6",8"10" stacked. Yesterday my husband just got medical orders for surgery, so we have to leave town from wed-friday (yay for remote living military lifestyle lol). I'm going to need to decorate the cake in the next day or two and freeze it, I'll have someone move it from the freezer to the fridge thursday morning. Do you think this will be enough time for it to defrost in time for Saturdays wedding (3pm)? Just looking for some advice, I have never needed to freeze a cake like this but cant wait to do it last minute on friday, it's a 6 hour drive from where he is getting the surgery to home and if anything happens I dont want them to be without a wedding cake on saturday. Thoughts? Thank you :) |
| Baker Will Go To Jail If He Does Not Bake <b>Wedding Cake</b> For Gay <b>...</b> Posted: 18 Apr 2014 10:18 AM PDT As our tolerant friends to the left go about trying to obtain complete and utter political correctness and fairness to all, a Christian baker sits in the middle of a new controversy. A judge has recently declared that the baker must bake any and all wedding cakes requested by homosexual couples. The issue came around when Jack Phillips, who runs Masterpiece Cakeshop, was approached by two men. The couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, had come in to inquire about a cake for their wedding celebration. As Colorado does not support the right to gay marriage, the two had been married out of state and wanted to celebrate their new marriage in their home town. The baker, being an Evangelical Christian, politely declined causing the homosexual couple to run to the courts. Even though they did not want the man to bake the cake any longer, they wanted to make sure no other gay couples experienced the humiliation that they endured by the bakers decision. Luckily for Phillips though, the Alliance Defending Freedom, or the ADF, was there to take on his case pro bono. The ADF is a network consisting of over 2,000 lawyers that stand to fight against any and all infringements on the freedom of Christian religion. During court, Phillip's lawyer, Nicolle Martin stated:
Her point was to prove that to force one man to compromise on his beliefs and his rights for the good of society would be disastrous. The fact remains that Colorado does not support gay marriage, so how is his beliefs in contrast to that of his society? The ruling here to violate the man's rights for the sake of the community is a potential problem that shows no limits. Anyone could twist any number of freedoms displaying that they hurt society and then over rule it. Does that mean that one single man's rights aren't worth offending a select group of people? No. That is precisely why we have the freedom of speech and religion. For a judge to overrule these rights because the feelings of two people is absurd. Nonetheless, Administrative Judge Robert Spencer said that the man's rights pale in comparison to societies well being. He then went on to say that it was well within his judicial powers to order the man to bake a cake for any couple regardless their sexual orientation. In response to the ruling, Phillips states that should the circumstance arise again, he will do the same. He feels that when he bakes a cake for a couple it is as if he is participating in the marriage ceremonies. He conveys that he will not compromise his religious beliefs because of the feelings of others despite the fact that he was being threatened jail time. According to the ruling, Phillips could receive up to 12 months in jail. After the case, Martin explained:
Do you think individual rights can be overruled in the name of society's sake? H/T: Mr. Conservative |

| Police: Aunt Shoots Niece Dead Hours After <b>Wedding</b>, Over <b>...</b> Posted: 24 Apr 2014 08:09 PM PDT NEW BRIGHTON (KDKA) — Police say a woman murdered her own niece just hours after her wedding, because they were arguing over who would drive home from a New Brighton bar. It happened just before 10 p.m. Thursday at Jimmy K's Bar on 11th Avenue. KDKA's Bob Allen Reports: Police say 21-year-old Katelyn Francis of Fairview, W. Va., was shot in the parking lot. She died on her way to the hospital. Police say that Francis was at the bar with her aunt and her aunt's new husband. Police say the three were arguing over who was going to drive home. That's when they say 30-year-old Christina Nicole George-Harvan pulled out a gun and shot her niece. "To our understanding, this was over who was going to drive the vehicle, the designated driver for the evening," said Chief Charles Vanfossan, of New Brighton Police. Police say they believe the suspect was holding her husband's gun. "The only thing she said is she touched the weapon and it discharged," Chief Vanfossan said. KDKA's Bob Allen Reports: Witnesses noticed the argument earlier in the bar. The three were reportedly out celebrating George-Harvan's wedding just hours earlier. "Everybody in the bar noticed that there was something going on with the people, but nobody knew exactly what was happening," said witness James Botinovich. He went on to say "the next thing you know we heard someone got shot … looked out, noticed it was right by my car." KDKA's Trina Orlando Reports: Meanwhile, the family is devastated. "This is just insane. It is unbelievable, a tragedy," said Annette Costanza, a family friend. "It breaks my heart and it's not my child, but she was like my child because she was my best friend's child. She is my best friend's child." George-Harvan, who is from Conway, faces one count of homicide, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of reckless endangerment.

| 5 Amazing Hanging <b>Wedding Cakes</b> - Craftsy Posted: 23 Apr 2014 04:00 AM PDT When it comes to wedding cakes, some couples are looking for a definite conversation piece and what better than a beautifully crafted cake…that hangs as if weightless! Hanging wedding cakes are the perfect way to wow clients during the busy wedding season and a wonderful way for guests to remember your wedding if you're the lucky couple. Get inspired by these gorgeous chandelier and hanging wedding cakes:Photo via The Butter End Upside-down chandelier cakeThis cake is quite possibly the pièce de résistance of all hanging wedding cakes. The Butter End created this one-of-a-kind, show-stopping chandelier cake for actress Kaley Cuoco's wedding. Exactly how they suspended six large tiers of cake from the bottom of a crystal chandelier appears to be an impressive feat of engineering. We love that the cake itself mimics the crystal droplets with Marilyn Monroe-esque jewels dripped from each tier. Photo via Gifted Heart Cakes Pink rose hanging wedding cakeThis sweet pink rose wedding cake features each tier suspended from an elegantly tall cake stand. The combination of different laces with cameos lends a beautiful vintage heirloom feel to this hanging wedding cake!

Photo via Judy's Cakes Chandelier wedding cakeWe love the scrolls and fondant droplets that decorate the sides of this hanging chandelier cake! The arches of small flowers that trim the bottom of the second layer are somewhat reminiscent of De Beers necklaces with their dripping florals.
Things to consider when planning a hanging wedding cake:Creating a hanging wedding cake is an accomplishment in itself, but with lots of planning, sketching and research (as well as time and patience) you should have a show-stopping cake that exudes awestruck gasps from everyone around! Before you dive into such a structural demanding cake there are a few things for you to consider. First and foremost is how you'd like your cake to be suspended; from a ceiling fixture such as an actual chandelier, a rose entwined swing, gilded chain; or from a strong wrought iron stand specially made for the purpose. Photo via Sweet Cakes by Mel This gorgeously elegant five-tiered swing wedding cake is given a fun and playful feel by being perched upon a swing bursting with florals. We love how this creates an unmissable center piece with it's quirky display, sleek and elegant design and romantic florals. Setting an otherwise heavy wedding cake upon a swing is a great way to instigate an informal touch to a reception! What types of hanging weddings can you choose from?If you're apprehensive going all out with a seven-tier chandelier creation, we'd suggest that the easiest way to have a "hanging" wedding cake is to set the cake onto an old fashioned tree swing, just like the beautiful cake above, featuring tangled roses, blossoms or lights. Then turn the reception into a gorgeously rustic garden party with the cake and swing as the centerpiece — perfect for a secret garden themed wedding! If you're both brave and adamant that you'd like to create a chandelier cake, experiment with creating wood cake boards, wooden dowel rods, hooks, chains, etc. Also, be sure to speak to the venue to make sure a suspended wedding cake is even possible. Then begin preparing and testing your ceiling fixture beforehand. For a suspended cake, the first wooden cake board should be the smallest and have a long wood or dowel rod securely fixed into the center; each cake tier needs to be stacked through this once placed onto a wooden cake board of their own. Once your cakes are tiered, add trimmings along the base of the bottom tier to disguise the board. When ready, carefully add a hook fastening to the end of the dowel rod so that your cake can be suspended from the ceiling. For a hanging wedding cake that features each tier separated by chain, each needs its own wood cake board with a dowel rod just above the height of the cake. Stack each cake onto each corresponding board, and to hide the top of the dowel rod, create a bouquet of gum paste flowers to perch atop. When ready, gently hook your suspended wedding cakes with chains, rope or strong taffeta ribbon separating each tier! With hanging wedding cakes as a possible show-stopping trend for 2014, we're sure to see this style re-created in a myriad of decadent ways, from cakes dripping with sugar chandelier droplets to hanging gardens adorned with bouquets of sugar roses. Are you itching to create an impressive hanging wedding cake yourself? |
| The Recipe for My <b>Wedding Cake</b> Posted: 23 Apr 2014 06:07 AM PDT This week is my 26th wedding anniversary and I am sharing the recipe for my wedding cake. I meant to make this last year for the big 25th, but life, as often happens, had other plans. So, here I am on a not-as-special-but-just-as-wonderful anniversary with a family story and recipe.
 When my mom got married, my grandmother made the cake:
The top layer of my wedding cake was carefully wrapped in waxed paper and foil so that it wouldn't be freezer burned. Then it was labeled and put away. I left with my husband for our new life in Washington state. A few months later, my father retired from the military and moved to another town in Arizona. I flew home to help Mom with the packing and unpacking. That special cake came out of the freezer and went into their motor home for the move. Once we all arrived in the new home, the cake went was supposed to go into their new freezer. My husband and I were going to visit for Christmas and take it home then. However, I got to thinking that a year old piece of cake wasn't going to taste very good. At the time it was only two months old, so it was probably still pretty good. Can you see where this train of thought led me? Yes. I ate the entire top layer of my wedding cake. All. By. Myself. And only two months after I said "I do." My mother was aghast. What doom could this portend for my future? What would my husband say?? Twenty-six years later, he still teases me about it. To quiet him once and for all, I have finally made him a cake that HE can eat all by himself.

| In store bakeries step up <b>wedding cakes</b> - Supermarket News Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:00 AM PDT The days of plain white iced wedding cakes with floral décor are numbered. Most consumers are now asking for sculptured or tiered cakes that tout contemporary designs and sophisticated flavor profiles for both batters and fillings. Rolled fondant is an increasingly common cake-covering request at supermarket bakeries. Shaped fondant decorations are popular as well. Retailers must significantly alter their in-store bakery offerings or risk losing shoppers, according to Tony Byington, assistant VP of bakery operations at Hy-Vee Food Stores, West Des Moines, Iowa.
Colors have evolved as well, from plain white or off-white icing to a rainbow of pastels and even chocolate frosting, he added. Designer trainingOf the 200 bakeries owned and operated by Hy-Vee, only a handful currently have cake designers who are qualified to handle more complex orders. But the chain has brought all of its designers together once a year for the past two years for hands-on classes led by the most skilled bakery staffers. Intermediate and advanced techniques were taught during these sessions. And additional measures are being taken to train employees year-round. "Three years ago, we created a cake design program at Hy-Vee, teaming up employees with artistic abilities with our most experienced cake designers for six months," said Byington. "The goal is to take them from beginner designers to intermediate and, ultimately, expert designers." At the same time, the supermarket has worked to create its first, chainwide bakery menu, he added. Along with standard chocolate and vanilla, the menu — expected to be in stores by the end of 2014 — will include new flavors like red velvet, salted caramel and wedding cake. These flavors, among many others, will also be offered to wedding shoppers. Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market will host a "Whole Wedding" expo from 6 to 9 p.m. on April 16 at its Boca Raton, Fla., location. The free event will include wedding cake tastings, a four-tiered cake display and a lookbook containing examples of custom wedding cakes Whole Foods designers have made. The expo will also showcase an array of other foods and products commonly used for weddings and receptions from other departments throughout the store, such as floral, prepared foods, seafood, Whole Body, meat and specialty – wine, champagne and cheese. |

| Sarah Gore Dishes About Her New Husband and Big <b>Wedding Day</b> <b>...</b> Posted: 24 Apr 2014 12:54 AM PDT  Sarah Gore couldn't be happier right now! Last week, she married her fiancé Patrick Maiani in the small, California beach town of Carpinteria. Gore, the youngest daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, shared exclusive details about her romantic day with PEOPLE. She also revealed why she chose the "offbeat" spot for her wedding venue. "It was such a happy day," Gore told the publication. "My husband Patrick and I chose the spot in Carpinteria because there is an enormous Torrey pine tree there, in a beautiful field next to a coffee shop and a bike shop." The 35-year-old artist went on to explain the significance of the tree, and how it serves as a symbolic metaphor for their marriage. "We loved the energy of the tree and what it represents for our marriage, with strong roots and shade – and warm drinks just steps away!" When asked about her loving groom, she had no reservations about doting on the man she loves. Gore dished about her new husband, sharing the heartwarming details about how they met. "Patrick and I met at a real-estate open house on the street he grew up on, in June of last year. I was getting to know the neighborhood, walked into this little house, and he was there, sitting on the couch." She also recounted how they eventually fell in love. and eventually fell in love. "Once we started talking, we didn't want to stop. We took a walk to get coffee, ended up having dinner and afterwards dancing at the Biltmore [Hotel], where he sat down at the piano and played – he's an amazing pianist and songwriter." That particular day was definitely a milestone in their relationship. "We've been together ever since," she said. Gore and Maiani, an accomplished Montecito, Calif.-based pianist, met back in June of 2013 while attending a real estate open house.

| Hayden Panettiere Reveals Her Dream <b>Wedding Day</b> Look Posted: 22 Apr 2014 11:08 AM PDT  Mike Windle, Getty Images Ever since 'Nashville' star Hayden Panettiere got engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko, fans have been all ears regarding her wedding plans. She recently gave more details on her wedding youthful and sexy look. "I would like some really long, loose boho beach waves and just a nice golden tan," Panettiere tells People. Since the actress is sporting a short hairstyle these days, she will need to go the way of extensions on her big day. "I want to be classy and elegant and sophisticated, but I also don't want to forget my age. I want to be comfortable. I want it to be just sexy enough, but youthful at the same time. I don't want to look so done up," she says. Since the 24-year-old is so gorgeous already, it won't be hard for her to pull off classy, elegant, sophisticated, sexy and youthful all at the same time. With her wedding coming up and the fact that her character on 'Nashville' is known for blonde locks, Panettiere can't really do anything drastic with her mane. But, if she had her choice, she'd go colorful! "I would probably do a combo of the light blue, lavender and maybe a really light pink," she shares. "I mean if I did my whole head, I would probably go for lavender. My friend on set did her hair with this very, very light pink and it kind of has a multicolor look on the ends. It's really light and really pretty. We would have to see what looks best." Panettiere's fellow 'Nashville' actors are hitting the road for a live tour, and the season finale of the show airs May 14 on ABC. |
| <b>Wedding Day</b> Survival for Introverts · Rock n Roll Bride Posted: 23 Apr 2014 12:00 AM PDT Dear Kat I was just hoping you might have some tips or advice you could share? The wedding industry is pretty much built around the idea that your wedding is supposed to be this big entertainment circus where you are the main attraction. It's enough to make even the most extroverted of us hyperventilate with stage fright. Of course this couldn't be further from the truth and if I try to do one thing more than anything else with this blog, its to demonstrate to you that you can – and should – do YOUR wedding YOUR way! For the record, as you probably guessed, I am not an introvert. While I love spending time at home with my husband and my cats, I adore nothing more than being surrounded by people – laughing, chatting and catching up. I feel energised by talking to others and much prefer to be with someone else than spending time alone. You probably know this already but while extroverts draw their energy from others, introverts recharge their batteries by being on their own. Gareth is a classic introvert by the way (which actually works well for us, I can be out doing my thang while he's perfectly content to hold the fort at home!) The fact the we are at opposite ends of the extrovert/introvert spectrum is not a problem for us, as long as we respect each other's needs. But I digress… Here are a few simple tips for those introverted babes amongst you who are feeling worrisome about being the centre of attention on your wedding day: Realise that it's not all about youThe notion that this is "your big day" can be terrifying for introverts but weddings are as much for the family and friends of the couple as they are for the couple themselves. Weddings bring people together. In fact your wedding day will probably be the first day in a long time that everyone you know and love is in the same room. Your family and friends are not there to be vicious energy sucking vampires. They simply want to share in your joy and to show their love and support for you and your marriage. The bride and groom do not have to be constantly at the centre of everyone's attention. You are but the reason for everyone to be there together. Most of your guests will be perfectly happy catching up with each other, reminiscing, laughing, drinking, dancing… I promise, you do not have to put on a massive show for them! For many people forced entertainment is a lot more annoying than the old classics anyway – flowing wine, good tunes and a little bit of dancing! Have a small weddingIf having all eyes on you is something that fills you with dread then why not have a small wedding? Or at least keep the ceremony (often the most nerve-racking part) intimate? Legally, you only need to have two witnesses at a wedding ceremony (in the UK) and there is no law saying you have to invite everyone you know along for the ride! If a full on elopement is out of the question for whatever reason, a low-key ceremony followed by a more casual reception might be the way forward. Take the focus off the brideThere are definitely small adaptations you can make throughout your wedding so you are not the focus of everyone's attention. Have a think about what parts of the day are making you the most anxious – is it walking down the aisle, saying your vows in front of everyone, the first dance? Then change them! Honestly, who says you have to walk down the aisle anyway? Did you see this wedding where the bride didn't? Or this one where the couple walked in together? So good! Remember rules are made to be broken and if any of these big wedding traditions really aren't your bag, then get rid – immediately! Take time away regularlyFor a lot of introverts, having to be sociable for a long period of time can be especially daunting. The first thing you could do to combat this is to have a shorter wedding day. If the idea of being tucked up in bed with some wedding cake and your new husband by 8pm sounds like your idea of bliss then do that! Secondly, allow yourself time away regularly. Maybe there's a side room in your venue that you could slip into when you need a moment? As long as the key people (your parents, your new husband/wife) know what's up and that you haven't done a runner (!) this could be a great way to take the pressure off. Finally, you could also have a longer gap between the ceremony and reception so there is some time in the middle for you to rest and recharge. Honesty, most people wont even notice if you slip off for some alone time at various intervals through the day so don't feel weird about having to do so! Appoint an on-the-day co-ordinatorIf you're panicked about having to be the organiser and 'in charge', then hire a day-of co-ordinator to take the reigns. You could even appoint a responsible bridesmaid or parent with the role. Make sure this person understands your introvert-related concerns and that anyone else involved in the wedding knows to go to them if they had questions or issues. Doing this will mean you won't be spending your precious energy on dealing with last minute details or stresses, and you can hopefully enjoy yourself more knowing that someone else is in control. Your wedding day is a day for you to celebrate with the people that you love and because of this the energy at a wedding is very different to a regular party – There's nothing like the same anxiety you might get trying to impress strangers, for example. While the reason for the day is you and your fiancé, you won't always be the centre of everyone's attention. A wedding is about so much more than just the two of you. It's about love, it's about family, it's about everyone coming together and having jolly a good time. So don't worry about all eyes being on you all the time, because they won't be. You might be the reason for everyone to be there, but you don't have to be headline act. Supporting Cast

| This Bride Braved a Storm for Her <b>Wedding Day</b> — Would You <b>...</b> Posted: 23 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT Is there anything a bride-to-be fears more than rain on her wedding day? Probably. But rain ranks right up there with a torn dress, missing maid-of-honor, and uncooperative flower girls. But a tropical storm? Well, that would put a damper on even the most optimistic of brides. But that's exactly what newlywed Alice was faced with on the eve before her big day. For today's #MarriedInModCloth feature, the recently wedded Alice shares the tips, tricks, and rainy day scares that made her wedding day amazing: Newlyweds: Alice (bride) and Jack (groom). Gigs: Alice is a grad student in clinical psychology and Jack is a political consultant How did you meet?: We met in a bar! We hear you had a weather scare on your big day: There was a huge tropical storm the night before! We were scrambling to make sure everyone made it to the island. Waking up to a glorious morning the day-of was such a huge relief. Can you tell us a bit about what you're wearing in your photos?: I wanted classic and fun. And pockets! I wore Modcloth for the rehearsal (above) and my bridesmaids rocked it (the Luck Be a Lady Dress in Navy and Ivory) for the big day. Two of my bridesmaids have already worn their dresses again … when does that actually happen? What was your first dance song?: "It Had to Be You" — the Harry Connick Jr. version from the movie When Harry Met Sally. Most memorable moment from the big day?: The awesome dance party that I didn't want to end! Thank you for sharing your big day with us, Alice! Were you #MarriedInModCloth? Submit your pics here!
