Simply Meant To Be Wedding Cake
I had the pleasure of making a wedding cake for an amazing couple
Over 1,000 petals went into making all of these roses but it’s totally worth it to see the smile on the bride & groom’s faces when they see the cake for the first time 😊
Congratulations Olivia & Donavan!

2014 Hot Air Balloon Festival
Lyssa has enjoyed the hot air balloon festival every year since she was an infant whether it is the sunrise launch or the night glow. This year her BFF was able to come with us for this spectacular event. Arie & Alyssa were such good girls getting up in the morning especially considering they couldn’t fall asleep before midnight due to the excitement (even though we tucked them into bed at 8:30pm lol).
We made the girls hot coco to drink on the ride up to Springs and bundled them up then the look on their faces when they saw the balloons filling up all around us was so cute! They kept pointing to the balloons and picking out their favorite ones. Totally adorable 😄
The pink camo one was the girls’ favorite balloon
After the launch we let the girls play in the bounce houses for a bit….ok ok them playing gave us the chance to rest while we watched them play for a few minutes.
Between the playing & the lack of sleep the girls were tuckered out by noon lol.
Warning totally sappy mom moment coming soon…here is the pumpkin at the hot air balloon festival down in NM.
