The Road to Mrs.- Adventures in Wedding Planning Part III
6 Apr2017 By 1 Comment
A custom creation from Tart Bites
After two days of smelling roses and pricing candelabras, it was time to taste some cake! Cake tasting, albeit, not the best for my waistline, has certainly been one of the more enjoyable aspects of wedding planning. For our cake tastings, my planner Christina lined up two appointments. Our first tasting was held at a popular upscale bakery with several locations throughout Los Angeles specializing in wedding cakes and other decadent desserts. Upon arrival, we met with one of the bakers who handed us a book of various cake flavors and told us to go at it. [Read more…]

10 Apr2014 By 9 Comments
Cake, Cake, Cake! Triple B's resident bride-to-be Nicole shares her adventures in wedding cake tastings.
Cake tasting has definitely been a highlight of the wedding planning process. Yes, I had committed to losing 10-15 pounds prior to my wedding in four short months, but this was something that had to be done. For the greater good, I sampled 13 delicious flavors of cake and frosting and did it guilt-free. With Leonard out of town, I enlisted the help of my grandmother and MOH, Heather. They too, were happy to indulge. [Read more…]

Admit it: Either you, your sorority sister or co-worker is always on the hunt for a new bakery for someone’s bridal shower, wedding or anniversary celebration.

I apologize for the gaps in posts recently. Although I’m no longer wedding planning, merging my 30+ years of life with Mr. TK’s is time-consuming.

Bridgette’s Pick of the Week: Cake Pop Escort Cards
8 Aug2012 By Leave a Comment
Pretty freakin' adorable, right?
This week’s pick is more if an idea than a “thing”. Right now I’m just smitten with using cake pops as escort cards. I know you’re thinking the inclusion of cake pops at weddings isn’t exactly new. And you’re right. But the novel idea as using them as a unique way to demonstrate your escort cards is kinda new…and yummy, too! Interested in using your own version of the above at your next big function can be as simple or as intricate you want. I’ve seen metallic cake pops, cake pops in a gazillion flavors, cake pops that look like they’re wearing a wedding gown and tuxedo — the list continues. Once your cake pop design(s) are finalized, head to Michael’s or your local craft store for the makings of your escort cards that will either be fixated to each cake pop itself or the stick. Have fun with color and shapes. The end result are your guests nibbling on a sweet treat while they find their seats and get prepared to par-tay!
