Not every Bride wants a traditional tiered wedding cake anymore. Some opt for a small cake and a trio of desserts, some nix the cake all together and have a sundae bar, and others like this Bride want the look of a traditional wedding cake with the portability of a cupcake!
Check out a few fun photos from one of our January Brides taken at The Loveless Barn!
And what groom wouldn’t want this decadent chocolate cake with luscious strawberries and chocolate dipped strawberries?

We had the opportunity this past week to make some delightful Petite Fours and Macaroons for a baby shower. The delightful little pastel morsels just so happened to be perfect for Easter as well, so we made extra to share with a few friends!
These little treats were so festive and fun to make!
Little macaroon pillows filled with creme in flavors of Rose, Blackberry, and Lemon Lavender

In the South, there are no better beverages of choice than good ole sweet tea or lemonade! It is on every menu at every restaurant, so why not provide an upscale version to your guests on your special day? Here we have provided so visual stimulation from some of our own beverage bars and some wonderful photos from others that could be used for inspiration in designing your own sweet tea or lemonade bar. Enjoy!
These are some lemonade Stations from our very own, A Catered Affair at Cj’s off the Square in Franklin, TN. We added garnishes such as mint, and fruit to make these drinks more festive!
And now for some great inspiration photos from our lovely pinterest boards!

We are so pleased to have represented The Bake Shoppe with one of our cakes featured in this amazing “Gone With the Wind meets Coco Chanel” inspired photo shoot at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. It was so much fun being a part of all of the glamour and creating a cake to fit such a luxurious theme!
We love having such a beautifully bold inspiration photo to design a cake around such as the “Vivienne”, a french-inspired bridal gown that was created by Karen Hendrix Couture and displayed at the recent New York Bridal Fashion Week.

We’ve all see those amazing whisket barrels in thrift stores or old barns. I just love the rustic look of these huge yet functional pieces of wood, but have never been able to think of a good enough use for them to deal with the hassel of transporting one.
Well, we’ve put our heads together and come up with several reasons to lug those big beautiful barrels home with you!

Got stress? Relieve it with this recipe for Honey Ginger Tea.
- 1-inch piece ginger root, peeled
- 1 large strip lemon rind
- 6 cups water
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 camomile or other tea bags
Slice the ginger into coins. Heat the ginger, lemon rind, water and honey to a boil in small pot. Add lemon juice to hot water and transfer to a tea pot. Add tea bags to pot and steep. Remove bags and serve.
Did that help? We thought so.
The spark for Kristyn Hogan Photography initially started with a 10 yr. old little girl dressing up her little brother and neighbor girl as a bride and groom, picking up a camera and bringing make-believe to life. At 18, she had the pleasure of shooting her first “real” Bride and Groom and was hooked!
Since then, she has been capturing moments on film with her husband. They believe that a wedding isn’t just a day, it’s the full experience.
Kristyn leaves this note to Brides on her website: From the moment you met the one to the day he got down on one knee. Through all the planning to your beautiful wedding day to the rest of your life. It’s a journey. One that we love to share and a story we are honored to tell.
Check out a small sample of Kristyn’s work! We’d like to give a big THANK YOU to Kristyn Hogan photography for sending over some fantastic photos of some 2011 Bake Shoppe cakes!
We love how she captures light and color in these pictures!
Sometimes the best photos are of the small details that are easy to overlook!

Mason jars have long since been a symbol of the South, and recently, they have become a very trendy item used in a variety of ways to add a bit of southern character to an event. I’ve found 5 inspiration photos to demonstrate ways to incorporate this trend into your event decor.
Drinking Glasses
This is the traditional way to utilize mason jars during receptions or Special Events. Having a keg? Skip the Pint and Pilsner glasses and opt for mason jars! Or serve a signature lemonade or cocktail in the vintage tumblers.
Lighting
Whether dangling from wire allowing the glowing orbs of light sway in the wind, adding pops of color and light to a candle chandelier, or simply wrapped in raffia set atop tables in a centerpiece illuminating the smiles on your guests faces, the soft candle light through the glass of a mason jar creates the perfect ambient atmosphere for weddings.
Favors
These precious little pies are assemble and baked right into these pint-sized mason jars making them the perfect portable treat for your guests to take home!
