Sweetness

This weekend was relaxing... just some cookies and one cake. The cookies were for a friend of mine, Charity, who wanted just a little something to take with her to a girl's bachelorette night at the Gondolas in Long Beach. A sweet treat to go along with some wine! They came out really cute, just like I had envisioned (that's always a plus!). I had seen some cookie cutters that I think were meant for a bathing suit, so I had the idea of doing lingerie, instead. Nothing too crazy, just girlie and cute. :)

The cake was for a friend Lisa's grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary. She planned a big surprise party, with family from out of town and everything! She told me she wanted a big, wedding-type cake. After all, 60 years is BIG! We had talked about a few designs, and this is what the final product looked like:

We were going for a vintage, antique look, and I think it turned out pretty well. She was extemely excited when she saw it, so that's all that mattered. She told me later that her Grandmother cried when she saw it, and said she didn't get to have a cake at her wedding 60 years ago. How special is that?!? Thanks, Lis, for giving me creative reign and the pleasure of designing and creating my first wedding-type cake. It was definitely made with love... :)
