Matching your ribbons and tags to your wedding colors can enhance the look of your reception. Party City even sells do-it-yourself kits so that you can assemble your favors.<br /><br />Check out this morning's interview and don't forgot you can still vote on the dress and tux <a href="http://wpix.upickem.net/engine/Votes.aspx?contestid=20689">here</a>!<br /><br /><embed name="PaperVideoTest" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" align="middle" src="http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/PaperVideoTest.swf" width="300" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" play="true" loop="true" scale="showall" wmode="transparent" devicefont="false" bgcolor="#ffffff" menu="true" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="&titleAvailable=true&playerAvailable=true&searchAvailable=false&shareFlag=N&singleURL=http://wpix.vidcms.trb.com/alfresco/service/edge/content/edb9880c-dbd6-4b6a-8e50-78e9cc1b0659&propName=wpix.com&hostURL=http://www.wpix.com&swfPath=http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/&omAccount=tribglobal&omnitureServer=wpix.com" salign="l"></embed></p><br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 272px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 176px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.thechildrenshospitalfoundation.org/AccountTempFiles//account15303/images/partycitylogosm.jpg" border="0" />Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037848208204444467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838718549681125363.post-75381499953050770462010-09-23T17:51:00.008-04:002010-09-23T21:12:00.095-04:00Latest Cake Details<div>Our slot machine cake was reincarnated last weekend for another 80th birthday.

The bottom tier (the leopard print shoe box) is vanilla bean cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry preserves. The top cake (the pink shoe box) is red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting). The pink lid is vanilla bean cake. The handmade high heel is decorated with a leopard print with a pink instep and has the bride-to-be's name painted on as the label. I also included a gift card made of sugar from endless.com (a private joke between the guest of honor and her family). Finally, we added tissue paper also made from sugar paste to the top box and base.<br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga6Nre_4DbyhjIKFx8RwtOWaLLP1sw2xnN7L7f3rqeAvVIdS85BkYIbU6_jef_AdmCb4EiAKLk8YpozjRhbiY4pRjB-690q6MVAZEXYb2MMZ4-XE5_vAHz1V7HP1PVowGHotAr8esdz0FN/s1600/heart+cake+-+blog.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517967147314010978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga6Nre_4DbyhjIKFx8RwtOWaLLP1sw2xnN7L7f3rqeAvVIdS85BkYIbU6_jef_AdmCb4EiAKLk8YpozjRhbiY4pRjB-690q6MVAZEXYb2MMZ4-XE5_vAHz1V7HP1PVowGHotAr8esdz0FN/s400/heart+cake+-+blog.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>We also delivered this wedding cake to a private residence in Tribeca. The entire cake is carrot with cream cheese frosting. I added the word "love" to the top tier and hand painted hearts in red, orange, yellow and purple with a graffiti style in mind. This cake was very time consuming, but a lot of fun to make. The bride didn't give me a specific design, but she said she loved hearts and color and wanted the cake to be somewhat non-traditional.</div>Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037848208204444467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838718549681125363.post-58988215499442142592010-09-15T20:00:00.004-04:002010-09-15T20:51:55.413-04:00Wedding Wednesday - Start Voting!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvsM8D76FydiPURgIi7UJzLCB6IWRSyE9asbEWYyslkN52DLvG5pquW42yjJUO37B8xWLWF9g_cQpNz670S7GhGHEjbBo8gmzgLlwQlAN7_fxtYLd1thZfW6CojYV6sahl-MHFyNHlXdH/s1600/salamanca_b.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517303791717519250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 308px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 365px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvsM8D76FydiPURgIi7UJzLCB6IWRSyE9asbEWYyslkN52DLvG5pquW42yjJUO37B8xWLWF9g_cQpNz670S7GhGHEjbBo8gmzgLlwQlAN7_fxtYLd1thZfW6CojYV6sahl-MHFyNHlXdH/s400/salamanca_b.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>If you haven't been following WPIX's NYC Magical Wedding, now is definitely the time to start tuning in!

Kickstarter is a funding platform for creative projects, where aspiring chefs, artists, musicians, etc. can help get the funding they need to get their businesses up and running.<br /><br />Kickstarter is an all or nothing funding source. We have 45 days (October 15th) to raise $5,000. If we do not reach that goal, we receive nothing.<br /><br />On our project page, we included a short video montage of some of our pastries as well as a short Q & A about how the bake shop will operate. You can also see the yummy rewards we're offering for the generous donations.<br /><br />Check our <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1175382119/pastry-girl-bake-shop-baking-and-caking-from-scrat-0">progress</a> and watch our video!<br /><br /><br /><br /><object height="385" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-LPi6r3akRg?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><br /><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-LPi6r3akRg?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037848208204444467noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838718549681125363.post-39874392271873246442010-09-01T22:59:00.002-04:002010-09-01T23:13:06.380-04:00Wedding Wednesday - Financial SecurityThis week's Wedding Wednesday segment was all about securing your financial future and planning for the life that follows after the big day. <a href="http://www.stonegatewealth.com/">Stonegate Wealth Management</a> offered some tips on how to begin to take steps to become financially responsible.<br /><br />Here's a look at their segment from this morning:<br /><br /> <embed height="450" name="PaperVideoTest" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="300" src="http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/PaperVideoTest.swf" salign="l" flashvars="&titleAvailable=true&playerAvailable=true&searchAvailable=false&shareFlag=N&singleURL=http://wpix.vidcms.trb.com/alfresco/service/edge/content/1e8622ae-3f57-4e3d-a076-7fd22cbae9ad&propName=wpix.com&hostURL=http://www.wpix.com&swfPath=http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/&omAccount=tribglobal&omnitureServer=wpix.com" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" menu="true" bgcolor="#ffffff" devicefont="false" wmode="transparent" scale="showall" loop="true" play="true" quality="high"></embed><br /><br />Tune in next Wednesday morning when they announce the winning couple of the $100,000 magical wedding!Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037848208204444467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838718549681125363.post-17354311310142359352010-08-28T13:18:00.004-04:002010-08-28T13:41:29.386-04:00Georgetown CupcakeOn a recent trip to Washington D.C., I checked out TLC's <em>DC Cupcake</em> bakery, <a href="http://www.georgetowncupcake.com/">Georgetown Cupcake</a>.

A wedding reception is a big celebration for two families who want to enjoy the months of planning and have a great time. Music is probably the single most important part of a reception since you depend on your DJ or live performers to keep the dance floor packed with the perfect mix of songs to please several generations.</div><div><br /></div><div>This Wednesday, WPIX took a look inside Bravura, the musical sponsor for The NYC Magical Wedding, and gave us some insight for how to choose your entertainment. Check out the segment below.</div><div><br /></div><div>Also, the deadline to win the $100,000 wedding is fast approaching (August 11th!) so hurry up and enter yourself or deserving friends and family!</div><div><br /></div> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" salign="l" flashvars="&titleAvailable=true&playerAvailable=true&searchAvailable=false&shareFlag=N&singleURL=http://wpix.vidcms.trb.com/alfresco/service/edge/content/ac6bd11a-bbad-4430-8d2e-fc1dc8d3b14d&propName=wpix.com&hostURL=http://www.wpix.com&swfPath=http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/&omAccount=tribglobal&omnitureServer=wpix.com" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" menu="true" name="PaperVideoTest" bgcolor="#ffffff" devicefont="false" wmode="transparent" scale="showall" loop="true" play="true" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" quality="high" src="http://wpix.vid.trb.com/player/PaperVideoTest.swf" align="middle" height="450" width="300"></embed>Alissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04037848208204444467noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838718549681125363.post-645733093151123482010-08-02T20:17:00.005-04:002010-08-02T20:38:22.692-04:00Princess Castle Cake Details<div>Last weekend, we delivered a princess themed birthday cake to Syosset, Long Island for a second birthday.
