Being Content
I’ve had some time off with the Jewish holidays and it has given me an opportunity to reflect (no, I was not on the beach in the above picture, although it does look pretty dreamy). I was away from the computer, blackberry, iphone, texting, etc. for a few days and it allowed me to actually enjoy my time off from work. This is not so easy for me. I’ve always had enormous drive.

Ask Amy: The Balancing Act
I’m just back from an amazing weekend with my family in the country. It was a weekend filled with laughter, relaxation, and love. Our boys had non-stop fun with their cousins. I had quality time with my big brother and mom {so needed!} We swam and grilled pretty much the whole weekend. My husband and I never went near the computer. It was pure bliss. This was a big dichotomy to last week. Last…

Pea in the Pod Guest Dessert Table + Ask Amy
How cute is this pea-in-the-pod guest dessert table feature from Whitney of Sweet Celebrations by Whitney?

Guest Dessert Table + Ask Amy

Glory created a strawberry theme party for her niece’s 9th birthday party. I love the fondant strawberries, the custom cups, and the fresh strawberry favors with strawberry ribbon. Wonderful execution, Glory! Glory was also kind to share her strawberry cream cheese frosting recipe here.

The Great Fondant Debate
{All cupcakes above are from Amy Atlas’s dessert bars.}
Everytime I meet with a client, I hold my breath because I know the discussion is coming. Usually it’s a battle rather than a discussion. The debate of buttercream vs. fondant. Every client wants buttercream because they have all had a bad experience with the tasteless and often rubbery texture of fondant. We’ve all had that experience, right? Having styled both buttercream and fondant cakes…

Reflection – A Good Year and More to Come
Image courtesy of Martha Stewart.
Time rarely stands still for me. Between running a business in fast-paced Manhattan, daily blogging, and taking care of my family, it is easy to get swallowed up in the moment and not take the time to reflect. I love this time of year because the clean break in the year provides me (sometimes forces me) with the much needed opportunity to reflect about the last year. 2009 has been…

Starting off the New Year right…
I know I’ve taken a long hiatus from the blog world but I’m thrilled to announce that I’m learning the ins and outs of blogging and hope to begin posting on a regular basis.
