Weekly Fave: Bella Cupcake Couture!

The Celebration Studio — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 13:56:11 +0000

High fashion meets cupcakes at Bella Cupcake Couture. Started by Carrie Middlemiss after she was laid-off from her job at a bank, Bella Cupcake Couture offers chic textile-inspired cupcake wrappers. Simply bake or buy your favorite frosted cupcake and set it inside the wrapper – et voilà! Instant cupcake style.

Each wrapper is custom-designed and professionally created to ensure consistent and exceptional quality. The designs come in standard and mini sizes, and a variety of styles including floral, swirls and damask. The wrappers are not only fashionable, they are also eco-friendly: each design is printed with soy inks on recycled linen paper.

Bella Cupcake Couture can also create custom cupcake wrappers – a perfect way to bring in your colors, monogram or other custom design elements in order to tie the cupcakes in with your overall design scheme.

Who ever said couture was limited to clothing?!?!

Weekly Fave: Tee and Cakes

The Celebration Studio — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:18:51 +0000

Delicious is an understatement. I think that “heavenly” is a better way to describe the cupcakes from Tee & Cakes, a Boulder-based bakery and pastry shop. Imagine melt-in-your-mouth, light and fluffy frosting on top of a perfectly moist cupcake that is bursting with flavor. Sounds yummy, doesn’t it? And the cupcakes look pretty, too.

I brought in these cupcakes for a surprise 60th birthday party I planned last weekend and all of the guests raved about them. Of course I bought a few extras for myself to take home….and both my husband and I lasted no more than 10 seconds before devouring all of them. I am not normally a sweets person, but I could not resist these cupcakes. Seriously. Try one and you’ll understand why!

Cupcakes are a great dessert option for parties and events because they don’t require plates or utensils. Guests can easily eat them while mingling and working the room. And if you’re looking for an alternative to the traditional wedding cake, cupcakes still give your guests that wedding cake fix, but with a slightly modern twist.

Just remember to save a few extras for your favorite wedding and event planner! : )

Weekly Fave: Catering by Design

The Celebration Studio — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 01:00:05 +0000

Catering by Design is a fantastic caterer. Not just because their food is delicious (which it most definitely is), but also because their staff is friendly, professional, organized and creative. The staff goes over and above what is expected on the service front to ensure your event runs smoothly. In short, Catering by Design is everything you look for in the perfect caterer!

Chef owned and operated, this award winning caterer can handle everything from a fancy sit-down dinner to a hip cocktail party. And with the recent launch of Denver’s Picnic Company, a sister company serving up more casual, picnic fare, Catering by Design is the “go to” caterer for any type of event you’re looking to plan.

I have had great experiences working with Catering by Design in the past and look forward to planning more events using this fabulous caterer in the future!
