Drawing on Food!

Wow! It's amazing what people can come up with now a days. Who would have thought we can draw on food? Of course, being in the wedding industry, I immediately thought "what a great idea for edible favours!" Cupcakes, cake pops and monogrammed cookies can be personalized even further with these fun food coloring markers!

Video Booths

A year ago I made a blog post about renting photo booths for your wedding reception. This is a wonderful idea for your guestbook. But wait, look what's IN now! VIDEO BOOTHS!



We didn't have a photo booth at our wedding, we did receive a lot of photos from our guests though, but we would have also loved to hear from them. Having a 450-guest wedding is anything but personal! As you can imagine, we weren't able to talk to a lot of our guests. A video booth would have been wonderful to have at our wedding. Guests can visit the video booth at any time during the reception to record a message for the newly weds. They can tell stories and funny moments and record their best wishes. Guests should also feel more comfortable recording their messages with this machine, and having fun with the props that some companies do provide, rather than being awkward in front of the videographer.

The only problem having this at our wedding, even if I knew about this awesome machine? Can't seem to find any vendors here in Quebec that rents out these video booths! Hello vendors, where are you?? Please do let us know if you're lucky enough to find one in Quebec.

Here are a couple of vendors from Toronto (you lucky brides and grooms!):

Baking Mode

Lately, I've been in baking mode! Baking is so much fun and satisfying, well... at least when they turn out the way I want them to...

These aren't holiday desserts, but I just had to share!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Green Tea Pound Cake

Green Tea Cheesecake

Chocolate "Soccer Ball" Cake
with Almond Icing (white) and Chocolate Icing (dark)

For a Youth Soccer Event

Durian Cheesecake
I know... not everyone's favourite taste...

Green Tea Yogurt Mousse Chiffon Cake

Oh you must have noticed... I have this thing with green tea flavoured desserts! My fav so far is the Green Tea Yogurt Mousse Chiffon Cake.

Last month, I also took the Wilton Cake Decorating Course 1 at Michaels in Abbotsford, BC. Yes, unfortunately there's no Michaels anywhere close to Montreal.





I must say, I am the worse at the Wilton Rose. We learned to do it over the course of 4 lessons, 1 step every week. Some people in my class got it right away. You've no idea how many roses I tired to make and how much time it took me to finally come up with 4 somewhat decent ones for my cake. I had a lot of fun in the course and would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in cake decorating.
