Marshmallow Wedding Cakes
Hmmm… a new marshmallow trend? I just want a wee bit of credit that I’ve been touting the virtue of the marshmallow–for its affordability, accessibility and versatility–for rather awhile now. Well, can’t take that much credit. Marshmallows have been around since ancient Egypt. But I digress. Check out these marshmallow wedding cake finds on Bride Goggles: The first was … Read More ...

Farm Sweets Stand

The party was created by Send in the Clowns Events, photographed by The Pixel Studio. The few photos I’m posting here don’t begin to do this justice. Check out the Send in the Clowns flickr … Read More ...
