Thanks to a gal pal for sharing a link to Mollusa’s Etsy page. These clutches and ring pillows just make me happy. Art in the form of a purse makes even a manic Monday more zen-like. Happy shopping!

It’s not too late to sign up for “How to Plan Your Wedding Without Losing Your Mind,” a three hour summary course including tips and tricks on DIY planning. The course will occur on Thursday, Feb. 25th from 6:30-9:30. The cost is $45 for a couple (bride and mother/marrying couple/any one marrying person plus a family member). For information on signing up, please visit Rush-Henrietta’s Continuing Education on the web. The course number is YF 5014. There was a typo with the instructor name, so rest assured I will be there!

I’ll also be offering this course on Thursday, April 29th 6:30-9:30, so look out for that in Rush-Henrietta’s Spring bulletin.

Some Seriously Divine Cakes

I was reading The Knot’s weekly vendor newsletter yesterday, and I could not get over some of the cakes featured there. Check them out below for some fabulous, unique, and just plain pretty cake ideas to bring to your baker.

The hydrangeas on the top really bring out the details in the cut-out. And blue and red is one of my new favorite color schemes.

You just can’t argue with “All you need is love.”

The green accented with the hibiscus flower brings out a new take on a round cake.

Orchids and chocolate: two of my favorites.

This cake reminds me of a Project Runway dress with the soft pick ruffles.

I love the simplicity paired with the sugar hydrangeas. Reminds me of the Cape wedding coming up in July!

This shade of purple is so sweet, especially with the delicate, elegant design.

This cake would coordinate well with a lace dress.

Nothing says Spring as elegantly as Lilies of the Valley.

This chocolate truffle cake is so unique with its asymmetrical design.

I saved my favorite for last… green love birds displayed on a hand-painted, blue cake.
