Signature Cocktail Flags - {Customer Creations}

Back in April a lovely customer who was getting married, Rachel, contacted me with the question if I could design custom drink flags for her wedding.  Instead of personalising the flags with the names and wedding date of the happy couple as I usually do, Rachel had the fun idea to have their signature cocktails on the flags.: "Rum Punch Rachel" and "Ocean Blue Hugh".

Rachel recently sent me a couple of pictures from her wedding (photo credit: Tine Hofmann of tmphotography).   I was over the moon when she sent me these pictures. Not only because they look great, but it also touched me deeply that she took the time to send them to me. And the absolutely best thing? She even included a photo of Hugh and herself which allowed me to "meet" the happy couple.  Don't they look radiant?

Thank you so much for sharing Rachel!  You were a dream to work with and I wish Hugh and yourself a life full of sparkle. ;)

Customer Creations in the Spotlight

A little while back I was contacted by the lovely Janice who inquired about customizing the romantic elephantine cupcake toppers for a "Qu" wedding.

Now, I had never heard of a "Qu" wedding before, but Janice explained that she was helping out at her kindergartner's school and that they were having a "Q" and "u" themed wedding to teach the children that "Q" and "u" belong together. When you write words that start with a Q they are always followed by the letter u. So, by joining Q and u in holy matrimony the children understand better that those two letters are linked.  I was so touched that she wanted to use my romantic cupcake toppers for this event.

When Janice was kind enough to send me some pictures I was in awe: just look at those cupcakes!

I like to think that Janice whipped up that frosting in the exact same schade of pink as my cupcake toppers just so they would match. :)

I thought there were over 50 cupcakes and I was already impressed by that number, but then Janice told me that she had baked 150 (yes, you read that right - one hundred and fifty) cupcakes for all the kindergartners in the entire school! It makes me wish that Janice would be volunteering at my childrens' school.

Thank you so much Janice for sharing your Qu wedding with me!

It's always so exciting to see one of my items appear in a treasury. My custom cake bunting was featured today in this lovely "Pink and Grey Wedding" treasury by Kate Puzerewski. Thank you Kate!

There's nothing like a little KungFu

to get me going in the morning!

My kids loved KungFu Panda I and II.

From time to time I even get to see a reenactment. Hi Yah!
