Flower Friday – Dahlias

November 22, 2013

Dahlias have become a popular wedding flower and for good reason. They come in an array of colors, sizes and shapes. We love the texture they bring to any bouquet or arrangement. We’re crushing on them so much we decided to dedicate this post to all things dahlia! Enjoy the eye candy.

Tasty Tuesday – Tres Leches Cake

November 19, 2013

We’re back with another Tasty Tuesday. We love the typical pumpkin pie, apple pie and pecan pie most of us serve at Thanksgiving. But we thought it might be fun to shake it up a little, and add one of our all time favorite desserts to the mix – Tres Leches Cake.

It’s simply divine, and we had no idea what went in to making it so we tested out a few recipes. To be honest, once the research began, we cringed a little about just what goes in to this to make it delicious. Heavy cream and lots of egg yolks! Not something we typically keep in the fridge (unless it’s the month of December and we’re baking away).

We’ve decided to do a little recipe battle to figure out who’s cake is better:

The Pioneer Woman’s or Emril Lagasse’s?

Up first: The infamous Tres Leches by The Pioneer Woman

Secondly, here’s Emril’s Tres Leches Cake:

We liked them both, and we found while each had their own twist, they taste similar. This is much easier to make than we thought it would be and whipping up the egg whites made the cake light and airy. It’s a must try, and we think a great addition to your Thanksgiving table. Enjoy!

Flower Friday – Video by Ink Spot Crow

November 15, 2013

Happy Friday everyone! It’s Flower Friday once again and today we have a little treat to share. Our friends over at Ink Spot Crow filmed a wedding wedding we did at the Sconset Casino this past September. We had fun transforming the space into a Mid Summer Night’s Dream kind of feel. We had abundant amounts of greenery, loads of plants, petals, lanterns and other rentals along with dreamy florals for this one. The linens were fun, the details were to die for and we can’t wait to get our hands on the photos. I think one of my favorite details of this wedding was the flower garland on the back of the bride and groom’s chairs. They were so fun to create! More on this wedding when we get the professional images. Until then, enjoy!
