Alison’s Favorite Things (vol. 20)

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Cupcakes came onto the wedding scene several years ago and I’ve heard suggestions that they have “had their day”, but I personally cannot imagine cupcakes ever going out of style.  My Little Cupcake specializes in “yummy little cupcakes for every occasion” and they have been a guilty pleasure of mine for a while now.  These bite-size treats (or 2 to 3 bite-size if you are more civilized) are made up of a moist, delicious cake and just the right amount of fabulous buttercream frosting and then each is finished with decor to match its flavor.  The other day I tasted pure perfection in their salted caramel cupcake.  I repeat, perfection.  The tasty chocolate cupcake is topped with an amazing caramel buttercream frosting, a caramel drizzle and a pinch of sea salt on top.  When I say it’s perfection I am not exaggerating.

A few of the other delicious flavors I’ve tried include chocolate mint, almond joyful, mocha, cookies n’ cream, and quite frankly even the vanilla are absolutely scrumptious, but in my opinion the salted caramel is IT.  Check out Michelle’s creations at mylittlecupcakevt.com and pick up a little box the next time you’re at Sweet Clover Market in Essex (my local cupcake pusher!), City Market, Healthy Living and Shelburne Supermarket or make a special order for your wedding day.

Wonderland Inspired Party Details

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010

One of the most frequent compliments I’ve received about my work lately from friends, brides and colleagues have been on my work with paper flowers when I helped the lovely & talented Daria Bishop with an Alice In Wonderland inspired “Mad Hatter Tea Party” for her daughter’s 12th birthday party in May.  Of all things, paper flowers!! 

As you can see from her blog post (by clicking here) it was a complete and utterly adorable success.  It was a lot of fun to help with, too!  There are lots of fabulous pictures on Daria’s blog, but below are a few shots of the tabletop I swiped (Thanks, Daria!!) to give you a little taste & whet your whistle! 

The hot pink blossoms in the bottles are boronia and I love the antique keys tied to their necks!  You have to love the amazing cupcakes from Vermont Sweet Tooth.  Amazing cupcakes!  I think Daria did a fabulous job and she can throw me a party anytime!

In love with cupcakes on Style Me Pretty

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

I love these cupcakes!  Style Me Pretty posts some of the most unique and beautiful weddings with fabulous details and this one is no exception.  There is something just so darn cute about cupcakes in vintage teacups that I can’t get over it.  If not for a wedding, then I think this would be fabulous for a bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or your next get-together with friends.  The Mad Hatter would most definitely have these cupcakes at his wedding!  Click on the image below for a link to Style Me Pretty or check out more wedding details here
