Meet Glee Cake & Pastry!

A few weeks ago Laura from Glee Cake and Pastry stopped by to let us taste some of the delicious treats they make at the bakery.

They brought us such a great selection, but my favorite was the carrot cake cupcake! The bakery is located in downtown Chelsea, MI.

Glee Havens is the master mind behind all the delectable goodies they have. Glee went to a top culinary school and studied under the best pastry chefs. After she married she came to Michigan and started the bakery.

We wanted to do a little Q & A with them to share a little more about them with you:

What is your average price per slice for a wedding cake? Average price is $4.25 per slice for wedding cake but offer other options to help offset this, dessert bar options ($2-3 a slice), kitchen cakes($2-3 a slice), and of course our mini-mousse cakes (cup cakes @$2.50 a piece).

How many flavors of cake do you have? The menu has 14 printed specialty cakes and we can incorporate different mousses with different flavored cakes. We do a Chiffon, Vanilla Sponge, French Cream, Chocolate, Chocolate Gnache, Carrot, Walnut, Ginger, Pumpkin Chiffon, Marzipan, and 3 Gluten Free options. We have 5 different types of cheesecakes as well endless possibilities.

Can you create custom flavors? We are more than willing to try!

Aqua & Coral Palette Inspiration

Part of our job is helping couples with their vision for their wedding day. Recently I was putting together a color board together on Pinterest and came across a color combo that I fell in love with.

I do have a passion for pink, but how can you not love this color combo of Aqua and Coral? It makes me think of Great Gatsby and Pride and Prejudice! I see mason jars full of peonies, macarons from Sweet Heather Anne, and pearls!

You really could do so much with this combo, the different shades of each color would bring the depth that would stand out. I also feel like you could either go soft and romantic, or bright and bold with this beautiful pallete.

I hope this makes your heart beat a little faster, and you fall in love just as much as I did.

Meet Designs That Matter!

I love meeting new people and introducing them on our blog! Yael from Designs That Matter may be new to us however, she started her business 7 years ago and has a degree in fine art and graphic design. She is super sweet and we are so happy the she had the time for a little Q&A for us!

How did you get started? I always loved art and creating beautiful things. I have a professional degree in fine art and graphic design and together with my love for events, families and the passion to preserve our memories, Designs that Matter was created. I started with making memory albums for families and the various events in their life, then at some point someone saw my work and asked me to make invitations for their event – and that came about.

What makes you different than other invitation companies? I believe it’s that personal touch. It’s the way I can take the bride’s ideas and make them into reality. It’s the way I work with every client to make their design perfect just for them. I work very closely with each client so the final product reflects them – their theme, colors, style, and of course budget.

My handmade wedding invitation collection uses the finest papers, ribbons, and delicate handmade materials to create a wonderful mix of patterns, textures and colors to compliment everything else about the event. Every invitation and design is different – some are hand drawn, some use handmade paper, and some are more graphic – the outcome is one-of-a-kind and unique – every time.

What is the average price per invitation? Because my designs vary so much, it’s hard to say. It’s best to contact me and have an initial free consultation where I will get to know you and what you’re looking for.

That said, as a starting point, the invitations start at only $5.50 per set. From there we add different papers, layers, ribbons, or other elements – and of course any of these add to the price. I pride myself in making invitations that would fit most budgets – no matter what you’ll choose, your invitations would be made with high quality paper and great thought.

What is something unique about you? I am passionate about my work. I take great pride in it and I want every client to feel the same way. I truly want it to be a collaborate project and I want everyone who walks in the door to enjoy it. I truly value FAMILIES and the celebrations that we have. I treasure and want to preserve all the milestone events that tell the story of our lives. Working with me is not just about getting invitations – it’s about the whole experience of getting there.

Ashley & Brent – More Amazing Photos!

StudiOsnap Photography posted these pictures on their blog recently from Ashley & Brent’s wedding, and we wanted to make sure to share! We had a fabulous time working with Ashley & Brent as well as Ashley’s family, who did such an amazing job renovating the barn for the wedding. Enjoy!

Magazine Inspiration – Martha Stewart Living

True Love Always, is a great topic right now since Valetine’s Day came and went and there are so many new engagements buzzing about. I feel like lately Martha Stewart Living is my go to magazine for a little inspiration.

The reason this picture appealed to me so much was because last year we had a wedding where our bride had these adorable flower girl baskets that looked like wood with the couple’s initials in them and I have been in love with them since.

Etsy is such an amazing place to purchase those one of a kind items for your wedding.  Here are some adorable items I found to share with you.

 

 


If you are interested any in of these items just click on the picture and it will take you to the seller. Happy shopping!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

From all of us at TwoFoot Creative – Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today, 10% of 2013 engagements will take place. To all of you – congratulations! We look forward to hearing from some of you in the coming weeks as you start planning your 2013 and 2014 weddings. It is going to be a fabulous year!

Shades of Red – Palette Inspiration

This months color palette was chosen because I need some color in my life right now!

This color scheme has pinkish reds, fuchsias, and soft blush pinks, and since Valentines is right around the corner I figured this is perfect!

The different shades of these close colors adds the pop and the depth to this palette.

With the ombre look being so popular these days, wouldn’t it be fun to use each color here to create that effect? Since you can’t guarantee specific shades of red when selecting florals, it is also a safer option to go for gradients of a color for your wedding.
