wedding!

i’ve been looking forward to this post for a loooong time. if you like weddings, then you are going to love this :)

my dear friend amanda doesn’t like cake. and let me just say that this is more common than you think. i often stumble upon people making requests for pies, cookies, brownies or cheesecake. but not cake. strange, isn’t it?

i was not only honored but stoked when amanda asked me to bake for her wedding! she is so much fun and super laid back. love her.

she wanted mini cheesecakes {only} at first but changed her mind and asked me to bake additional chocolate peanut butter cupcakes & lemon cream cheese cupcakes. she has great taste because i looove the flavors and sweets she picked out. don’t you agree?

we had several meetings {more like dinner parties} and talked about color scheme, frosting shapes, flavors and all things wedding.

throughout the process amanda was super easy going and amazing to work with! ty. her now husband. was sooo nice also. oh, and he eats and loves cake.

what an awesome bride & groom. they are beautiful inside out! so happy to call them my friends ;)

the wedding was amazing filled with pretty details. it was held in lake country minnesota where pretty scenery is always present. add that to a beautiful couple and you get awesomeness!  i wish ty and amanda all the love in the world for their marriage.

xoxo!
