Yummy Yummy Goodness...

I've mentioned before that I am not much for cake... but these are just so darn cute I might reconsider... Bakery Bar is dishing out these sweet pieces of confectionary joy in Portland, Oregon- one of the destinations we were considering (look at this cool place!- it was a top-runner in our hunt for a school to get married in)

Sweet Nothings: Camicakes

I admit it ... I have been procrastinating with the whole "homegrown" list... sorry! In my defense, the Fall Event Season has begun ... however- I promise to make it up to all you J-ville brides... I come bearing gifts- perfect confectionary gifts... from Camicakes...

I still remember the first time I saw Camicakes... I was a little bummed that the foodcourt had done away with my favorite salad place... but the disappointment was short-lived as soon as I spotted the delightful pink and brown bakery that had taken its place.... amidst a sea of greasy supersized menus... floated this beacon of light that drew me in immediately... and what I found were gourmet cupcakes- seriously... the flavors are AMAZING... my favorite (being a southern belle) is the sweetpotato... yummy yum yum... I love that they skip all the fondant fru-fru and deliver amazing flavor in a darling little package...

Andra Hall began her passion for baking with an easy-bake oven, her grandmother's, support, and her mother's guidence in the kitchen... this passion has developed into such a delightful company that shares their love of the world at large in the form of comfort-food inspired treats... I really love how you can really taste this passion in each bite.... but don't take my word for it- buy a dozen or two (and they even ship nationwide...)

Let Them Eat Cake...

I must confess... I do not like cake... and what's more- I do not like chocolate too much either... and yet I want to devour each and every one of these... whole... with a glass of milk...

If you are in the San Francisco area, stop on by Miette... and think of me while you endulge in their sweet lovelies...

Sweet Nothings: Cutie Pie Cookie Co

Visiting Oh Joy, I was introduced to Cutie Pie Cookie... and what a great favor idea! I am all for an edible treat and what better way than with a stylish little cookie... they will print your logo/graphic/invitation onto this little piece of confectionary bliss...

Loving Wendy Kromer

So each and every one of us have become rather fond of Martha- she is like that extra creative mind sitting atop our magazine rack... ready to give us a little direction when necessary... I was just over at The Bride's Guide and was able to meet Wendy Kromer.... Wendy is the beautiful mind behind the cakes that grace the pages of Martha.... you've seen her work and drooled over her confections... and the best part? She has decided to pack up and move to Ohio where she will still contribute to the magazine but will also be shipping her cakes nationwide. What are you waiting for? Go check out her site! http://www.wendykromer.com/ It is really informative and welcoming and at $6 a serving you can't afford to not check her out.... just tell her Oh Happy Blog sent you...
