Fantasy Frostings – Little bites of Heaven!

Last week I went to a “bridal bazaar” in Beverly Hills appropriately named: “Unveiled”, where they showcased a huge variety of vendors, couture bridal designers, nonprofits and more, all associated with the wedding industry. It was a day of sensory overload, with creative ideas and designs around every corner. The vendor that instantly grabbed my attention was Fantasy Frostings, a wonderful 30+ year business that just relocated here to Pasadena. They specialize in custom design cakes for any event and have been featured in magazines such as InStyle Weddings and US Weekly, where their celebrity cakes have been spotlighted. What they had on display at Unveiled were these delectable little treats that they call 'cakepops'. They were to die for!! They pose as lollypops, but once bitten, are revealed to be little bites of Heaven. Equally beautiful and delicious, these round balls of cake wrapped in frosting came in strawberry, chocolate and white chocolate. Let your mouth water while peeking at the photo above. Savor the goodness and check out their website, their cakes are absolutely exquisite!

Bridal Brunch Invitation - It's all about gratitude!

The wedding process can be stressful and tiring, so this bride came up with a way to show her appreciation to those true friends that stayed by her side through thick and thin.

This wonderful idea is transposed onto a 5.5x5.5 square card in shimmery white, mounted onto our 'Envy Green' base card that leaves a beautiful accent surrounding the invitation.
