Cake Pops Featured on Style Me Pretty

Lauren — Wed, 09 May 2012 05:45:40 +0000

Isn’t Style Me Pretty just a total swoon-fest??? We could get sucked into looking at gorgeous weddings for hours on their site. We’ve been so excited to have our cake pops be featured there a few times now and are anxiously checking daily to see if another one of our sweet brides’ special day has made the coveted pages of SMP. In March, we were giddy because we were featured once again with the following surprise wedding!

Back in December we were contacted by Jacin of Lovely Little Details for an order of cake pops for a surprise New Years Eve wedding. We loved the idea of surprising all of your family and friends that instead of attending your engagement party, they’d be witness to your very special nuptials that day. Peach, mint and gold glitter were the colors of the day. And with all of that shiny gold, the photos from the happy bride and groom’s day taken by Flory Photo came out with such a warm lovely glow, enjoy!

Cake Pop display for launch of Today’s Bride newest issue!

Lauren — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 20:54:52 +0000

Back in March we created a shiny, glamorous, yet industrial and funky display for an “Industrial Glam” themed party to celebrate the newest issue of Today’s Bride. Flawlessly coordinated by MB Wedding Designs and Events, the event was over on Treasure Island at the Winery SF and our whole team (all four of us!), got all dressed up and trekked over for a night of drinks and cuisine by Thomas John Events, dancing, even a photobooth!

We had so much fun planning and building this display that we’ve now officially added dessert displays to our repertoire! We’ve created quite a few over the past couple of years and have a blast doing them! I’ll be sharing some of those with you soon too. See below for some images from the event captured by our friend and phenomenal photographer Michele Beckwith.

Introducing… Pie Pops!!!

Lauren — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 18:04:35 +0000

For the past few months we’ve been testing recipes, shapes, and flavors for our newest product, pie pops! It has been so hard to keep it a secret from you, especially when very talented photographer Michele Beckwith came over for a photoshoot. As you’ll see, the shots she took are just gorgeous and we can’t wait to start accepting orders for these tasty little bites of pie! Flavors include decadent Chocolate, classic Apple Cinnamon, Strawberry Rhubarb, Blueberry-Blackberry, Cherry, Peach, and even Pecan (fruit pies subject to seasonal availability.) Our owner, Lauren, even used her grandmother’s classic pie crust recipe! Ingredients are all natural and we’ve also tried to use organic and local ingredients where we’re able. Orders can be placed through our inquiry form on the website. Available for pick up or deliveries within the Bay Area.

Lovely Little Cake Pops!

Lauren — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 22:14:23 +0000

Last night we joined a gorgeous group of wedding professionals and Bay Area lovelies at Blu Bungalow to fete our friend Jacin, owner of Lovely Little Details on the launch of her new website design and branding. Everything looked fabulous from the Oh Happy Day inspired crepe paper garland to the Bellini bar to Jacin’s own color coordinated frock! We provided glittery cake pops and even worked in a little of Jacin’s branding by writing “Lovely” on some.
