My first tip!

I should probably start this blog off with a disclaimer: While I haven't started taking sweet treats as currency, I will gladly accept them as gratuity. =)

A local customer stopped by the other day to pick up her order {a rush invitation order for two corporate events}. When I greeted her at the door.....she handed me my first tip ever. A thank-you for getting her order done in such a short timespan.

But this wasn't any tip. Oh, no. She handed me.....CUPCAKES! =)

These beauties were fresh from Gigi's Cupcakes on the northside of Indianapolis. I've heard of a few other cupcake vendors in the area, but hadn't come across Gigi's until this week. So thank you, Amanda, for introducing us!

She told them to pile in 4 of their best sellers....

...a lovely & very rich double chocolate combo....

...a red velvet/cream cheese duo...


...a delicious banana concoction...

...and my favorite, called Wedding Cake! {...call me a plain Jane, but I'm a sucker for white cake and buttercream icing.}

What's left to say? Other than I love my job. =)

A Sweet Collaboration

I have always loved the colorful creativity and thoughtful planning behind sweets tables at weddings & parties, and wanted to do one of my own. So this past weekend, I finally got to try my hand at it!

I paired up with Lori {my sister} at Boldly Chic Events to create a colorful & chic Halloween sweets table, and am so thrilled with the end result. I absolutely loved working with her to design the layout & was honored to provide the festive paperie!

{We already have 2 more sweets tables on the calendar - next up, a modern December tablescape!}
