togethery and remembery

"Christmas is a togethery sort of holiday," said Pooh. 

"That's my favorite kind," said Piglet.

"Togethery and remembery."

"Don't forget the love," added Eeyore.

Cake Bunting

Recently I won a wonderful giveaway hosted by the sweet Persis of Miles of Style. It was this beautiful cake bunting from Kiki La Ru! It definitely would add a special touch to any event. Each style is so incredibly adorable, please check out her store!

Sealed With A Kiss

While enjoying my look through Martha Stewart Weddings Fall 2010, one of the things that stood out to me the most were these adorable wedding ideas inspired by Xs and Os!

Kisses mobile. It's like it is raining kisses!

Virgin cherry limeade, raspberry martini, and a sweet Negroni.

A kiss place card.

Lip-shaped confetti.

Marshmallow kisses on butter cookies for favors.

Xs and Os cake!

Miette

Miette: French for "little crumb". If that wasn't cute enough, I have discovered this adorable pastry shop called Miette. It is located in the Ferry Building in San Francisco, California.

I have yet to go there, but I definitely will. From what I hear, it is as cute as it sounds! I am so glad I found them online so I could get a taste for what they have. The best part? You can actually order their cookies and confections online (cakes excluded). Here are some wonderful treats they offer:

Princess:
Genoise sponge cake moistened with Chambord, a layer of raspberry jam, pastry cream and lightly sweetened Straus Family Creamery whipped cream, covered with white chocolate fondant.

Strawberry Tomboy:
Three layers of chocolate cake filled with strawberry buttercream.

Bumblebee:
Yellow cake with whipped chocolate ganache.

Scharffen Berger:
A moist chocolate cake made with Scharffen Berger’s cocoa powder and 70% chocolate and covered in a bittersweet, truffle ganache.

Yellow Strawberry Cupcake:
Rich yellow cupcake topped with fluffy strawberry buttercream.

Lemon Shortbread:
Fresh, light, buttery, and zesty goodness.

Lemon Debutante:
Three layers of vanilla sponge cake, homemade lemon curd and very light lemon buttercream.

Gingersnaps:
Fresh, dried, & candied ginger, and lots of Straus butter are what make these cookies gloriously snappy.

Fleur de Sel Caramels

Vanilla Marshmallows:
Soft, sweet clouds of vanilla would pair wonderfully with a cup of dark chocolate cocoa.

Sugar Flowers and Leaves:
Decorate your cupcakes and cakes with these cute flowers!

Rosettes:
Rose geranium meringues.
