I've already read the issue and am blown away by the gorgeous layout. Brides and their wedding parties will love all of the ideas and prices included to help you budget.

Our cake is featured on page 104 as part of their chocolate inspiration board. The Fall issue hits newsstands tomorrow, July 27th so be sure to pick up a copy!

Wedding Wednesday - on Thursday!

This week has been so hectic with really cute orders (more on that next week!) that we didn't have time to share our thoughts on the WPIX Wedding Wednesday segment. This week, Tamsen visited The Chateau Briand (beautiful venue for the $100,000 wedding giveaway!!) and got a tour of their vast grounds. Here's a clip from yesterday's morning news:

Magical Wedding Wednesday!

This morning, Tamsen Fadal from WPIX hosted the first segment after the launch party for The NYC Magical Wedding. We were guided inside The Chateau Briand and got to see an interview with the talented wedding planners from Perfect Wedding Planning (PWP).

Wedding planners can help tie the various elements of your event together and manage your vendors and focus on the details that can seem overwhelming. Here's a clip from this morning in case you missed it!


If you or someone you know has a great love story and wants the chance to win a $100,000 wedding, WPIX will be accepting submissions until August 11th!

Cake Stands

When you make a beautiful dessert you want to serve it on something as equally as beautiful. For this reason my collection of cake stands has grown to include varying sizes and colors and is constantly multiplying. I love to mix and match cake stands for an eclectic look and display everything from cakes to petit fours.

Here's a look at one(!) of my cake stand shelves:

Inside the Launch Party!

This morning, we woke up REALLY early and headed over to The New York Helmsley Hotel for the Launch Party of WPIX The NYC Magical Wedding. The Knickbocker suite was beautifully decorated with tables from all of the participating vendors. David Tutera did a great job hosting the event and graciously signed copies of his book and posed for photos.

We made mini cupcakes for the brides and grooms to sample. Flavors included vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and a raspberry drizzle, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, rich chocolate cake with chocolate mousse buttercream and our popular red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. Here's a look at our display table:

The buffet for the beautiful brides:

Breathtaking dresses from Pronovias. The first dress is so unbelievable, I wish I was having another wedding!



Me and David!

Tamsen Fadal reported on the event and did an amazing job. Tamsen was super sweet and it was so exciting getting to watch her live. And she's even more beautiful in person!

Here I am in the background while Tamsen is interviewing David - how Forrest Gump!



Throughout the morning prizes from vendors were raffled and one very excited couple won a groom's cake from us!


Every Wednesday WPIX will have more wedding information and I'll update you on the progress of the contest as it unfolds. For now, you can enter yourself or anyone you think has an incredible love story for a chance to win the $100,000 magical wedding!
