Come and See!! The 2011 Brides Give Back Event!!

I am so honored and blessed to be able to participate in this years Brides Give Back Event. I love being able to give back myself and help out the community we live in. Some of the Valleys Best Wedding Vendors will be donating their services and products and it's all for a GREAT cause. Proceeds from the event benefit Save The Family, a local non-profit that assists homeless families. I have donated a wedding cake valued at $450 which would be a cake for 100 people! Check out all the details below! I hope to see you there!

PHOENIX – January 3, 2011 – Engaged couples have yet another reason to celebrate. Tickets
are now on sale for the February 23rd, 2011 Brides Give Back event. Brides and grooms are invited
to save big on their wedding day expenses by bidding on services donated by the Valley’s top
wedding professionals. The big day soiree will take place at the Historic Icehouse in downtown
Phoenix and will benefit Save the Family Foundation of Arizona, a local charity helping homeless
families get back on their feet.

The cocktail party auction will offer brides and grooms the opportunity to sip champagne, mingle
with Phoenix’s luxury wedding professionals, and bid on everything from photography to florals.
Couples who attended the last Brides Give Back event secured wedding day essentials at as little
as 30 percent of retail value, with all proceeds directly benefiting families in need. The event will
feature musical entertainment, silent and live auctions, and cake samples galore.
For more details or to purchase tickets, visit http://www.bridesgiveback.com/. Following the social
entrepreneurship trend, all ticket sales and 100% of net proceeds benefit Save the Family.

Brides Give Back began in 2009. In it’s first year, the auction of more than $30,000 worth of
donated goods and services helped to provide a night of shelter for 77 victims of domestic abuse.

Free Book

It's a book.... about a baker! And it's free. Could be a good read so I had to share. Mostly because it's about a baker. :)

How to Make a Cupcake Stand

Skip to my Lou is one of my favorite blogs. :) I like crafty stuff. Here is a fun post about making your own Cupcake Stand.

Special Chocolate

These chocolates are a family recipe. They are our coconut balls and we also make a peanut butter version. They are most popular at Christmas time and Valentines day. They are also great for wedding favors.

My Newest Cupcake!

I wanted to share the newest gourmet cupcake flavor I have been working on. This is the Key Lime Cupcake with a key lime drizzle and cream cheese frosting. So yummy!

As a reminder we also have a fabulous Smore's Cupcake and a Margarita Cupcake. What are some cupcake flavors you would be interested in seeing here?
