Fun Day of Delivering Cake!

This past Saturday I had the pleasure of being part of the Eileen Carter Creations delivery team!

It was so much fun! It was one of her classic cakes with curly willow and beautiful orchids and roses! It was interesting to see the inside workings of another wedding business! From the pick up, to the directions folder, to the delivery and stacking in the cake! It was quite the outing with a beautiful result!

Mashed Potini Bar!

Another favorite food trend of mine is the Mashed Potini Bar. I've seen it featured in so many weddings, and is always a hit. If you're thinking about doing a buffet and this isn't on the menu, you might want to think about adding it!

So what does it typically include?

-Regular Mashed & Sweet Mashed

-Toppings Galore!

For the Regular Potatoes:

1) Sour Cream

2) Shredded Cheese

3) Bacon

4) Onions

5) Ham

For the Sweet Potatoes:

1) Marshmallows

2) Brown Sugar

3) Cinnamon

The best part: They're served in a martini glass, so it adds a fun modern twist on an old fashioned favorite!

Friendly Valentine's Day Reminder...

For all of you that like to wait to the last minute, Valentines Day in Atlanta is not the place to do it! Make your reservations now, if you still can. You can also try Open Table.

Good luck! And Happy Hunting!

Rehearsal Dinner: Location

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Southern Weddings Magazine Launch Party. And I must say, the entire time I was there, I was thinking about how great it would be for a rehearsal dinner! The restaurant is Dogwood, and it's located right across the street from Emory Crawford-Long Hospital. It's got a private room upstairs and the food is excellent. So, if you're still looking for a location, I highly suggest you try it for an elegant twist on southern cusine!

Wild Oats Catering

In June of last year, I had the pleasure of working with Terry and her staff from Wild Oats Catering. They were fabulous! The food was so fresh and had a fun new look to it. They had a delicious new twist on a fun southern menu.
They had very clean lines of service, and never ran out of food, even the most delicious of foods.(Photos Courtesy of Shannon Wright)

They had fresh biscuits with a peach barbeque sauce over pork, deliecious skewers of shrimp and pineapple in a coconut mint sauce. But this isn't all that they've got. Check out their website to see another sample menu, and to get in touch with them! If you're lucky, they may still be available. They book up quickly!

The Rainbow Martini!

Another great drink idea for a signature drink is my personal favorite, the Rainbow Martini.

Shake with Ice:

1 part Peach Schnapps

1 part Rum

1 part Vodka

1 part Pineapple Juice

Pour all contents into martini glass and add just a splash of grenadine!

Sure to please right there!

Razzmataz Martiniz!

With the popular trend of signature drinks, it would be cruel of me not to mention a few great recipes that I've got! So here's one of my favorites (from my birthday) I hope you enjoy!

2 part Grey Goose Le Citron
Lemon Juice from 1/2 Lemon
1 part Chambord
Garnished with fresh Raspberries!

Drink and enjoy!
