Baby (on the) Brain

On a trip to Sacramento with Will, much to his protest, I dragged him through "Old Town Sacramento." No, we didn't get to take funny pictures of ourselves in old western attire (maybe next time), but I did find some inspiration for my dear friend's baby shower favors. CANDY BUTTONS! I am obsessed with candy buttons, to the point that candy buttons have officially made its way onto the wedding dessert bar menu.

First, I started by making candy button duckies (my friend's shower theme was, you guessed it... duckies). I made a sea of duckie families. And just as I was about to lament the fact that I no longer had an excuse to make candy buttons, my thoughts turned to wedding... candy... dessert bar... wedding colors... and YES...wedding colored candy buttons. So there we have it...candy buttons in vanilla, sugar, and chocolate flavors.

BTW - Will objects to the fact that the papa duckie was no where in sight in the candy button duckie family. I promised that I would add bow ties and hair ties to the duckies next time...

A Fun Way To Say Thank You Very Much - Dessert Bar Anyone?

Two Hearts Bakery of the San Francisco Bay Area is embarking on our biggest partnership yet. Theresa and Will are tying the knot! Besides "the" big question that got us here - the who, when, where, how, and most importantly... what will our guests be eating/having for dessert have been top of mind.

Luckily for us, we were able to find a Vietnamese caterer who will be helping us host a traditional eight course family style meal for the big day! Ava and her mother from Le's Catering Kitchen are a gem of a solution for those brides and grooms who are looking to blend mixed cultures.

As for the sweets... we are in process of creating our very own dessert bar, with cake of course being the main focal point. We want to thank our guests in our very own Two Hearts Bakery way and to provide the best of what we have to offer. What better way to show appreciation for those who have come from near and far than to contribute some of our time to make something sweet for everyone to enjoy.

We'll post pictures as we develop our theme, recipes, how-to(s), treats and more...
