Cakes to Talk About

Sorry about not posting for a few days but I was home visiting some family. Today, however, I am having a major sweet tooth so I thought I'd share some delicious looking cakes that I'm dreaming about tasting. Be sure to post a comment and tell me which one you like best!

First, we'll start with the traditional wedding cakes. I found these four on Martha's website.




These three I found on the Better Homes and Gardens wedding website.


Now of course my budget ($5000) won't allow for most of these gorgeous cakes but I can use them as inspiration and either try to find something smaller that looks similar or try to make it on my own.

Which ones do you like? These seven are my current favorites and I just can't make a decision! Good thing I have lots of time! :)

Champagne Brunch at the Arden Hills Resort and Spa

Here's a gorgeous venue which I had the joy of visiting on Sunday. The Arden Hills Resort and Spa, located in Sacramento California, is absolutely gorgeous. Last weekend they had a champagne brunch which included tours of the location and a fashion show. While there are other areas where you can have your ceremony I am absolutely in love with this villa! Here's the outside.
(By the way, I got the above picture from their website - click here to be linked to it.) The place where the actual wedding would take place was set up for a wedding later that day and I got to take a picture of how wonderful it looked. :)
But the best part about a villa wedding? It includes a night in one of the rooms which overlooks the ceremony site and breakfast the morning of for your wedding party. The rooms are gorgeous and you actually have the opportunity to rent out the whole villa if you wanted a handful of guests to stay with you (weekend wedding anyone?). Here's a picture of the beautiful dining room inside.
Love it! I could day dream about this place all day. If you have any questions feel free to ask in a comment or an email and I will see you all tomorrow!

So as I was reading all of my favorite blogs today, I came across a fantastic and easy DIY project anyone can use on iDIY.

Here are some of the designs you will find:So get out, be crafty, and have fun!

Oh and PS: Today I am going to an open house in a wonderful venue for the Sacramento area: Arden Hills Resort and Spa. Hopefully I can take lots of pictures, get some factoids, and give you all the information sometime on Monday. But in the mean time, have a great weekend and do something new today. :)
