Super Cute Cake Toppers

I think everybody knows by now that I'm a sucker for custom cake toppers.  The ones shown below are just full of cuteness.

You can have them custom made at Red Light Studio.

DIY - Blondies From Brazil

Branquinho de Branquinha (blondies with cachaça) makes 16 pieces.

200g white chocolate, chopped

100g butter

320g sugar

3 eggs

2 tbsp cachaça (or vodka, or rum, or whatever booze you like)

140g flour

1/2 peanuts (I used Brazil nuts, chopped)

Preheat oven to 350°F/ 180°C. Butter a 9-inch pan and dust with flour.

Melt the butter and white chocolate together, using a double-boiler or microwave oven. Mix the chocolate mixture with the sugar. Add the eggs and the cachaça and whisk until smooth.

Add flour and fold until incorporated, then the peanuts. Pour the batter into prepared pan, and bake for 35 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out with moist crumbles. Let cool in the pan over a wire rack and cut in squares.

 The sweetness was set to me by The Cookie Shop.  Enjoy....

RW - Kaitlyn & Jordan San Diego Wedding!

This wedding has been featured in various wedding blogs, but there is something about it that urged me to share it once again.  Maybe it is because of all the details you will see and because it is on the beach but the vibe of it is great.  Everything was captured by extraordinaire photographer Amelia Lyon.

Click here for the slideshow!  Heather Balliet from Amorology helped design the wedding.

RW- Alisha & Jake PA

This wedding was so awesome that I did an exception on the quantity of photos in this feature.  I literally put them all.  This is a great inspirational wedding because there are a lot of DIY work. So relax and take your time enjoying ALL the details.
