Tipton/Coleman Wedding

A few sweet pictures from the wedding we were honored to be a part of. Evalyn was asked to be the Flower Girl, and she was thrilled to say the least.  

It was held at the beautiful and historic Barr Mansion on Sprinkle Road in Austin, TX.  It was beautiful and fabulous!  

Thank you Madeline and Hunter for including our family in your special day!
Posing with the girls!

The most amazing cake!

A friend of mine sells baked good from her home to help support her family while staying home with 2 little ones and another on the way.  She bakes some scrumptious breads, but this cake she made to sell for Valentine's Day is AMAZING!  I was lucky enough to try a slice of it today and umm...WOW!





Here is her description: Chocolate Covered Strawberry cake. Made- from- scratch strawberry cake filled with strawberry preserves and creamy whipped chocolate ganache. Covered with more whipped ganache and finished with a silky poured chocolate. ($40, whole cake only)





I admit I'm not overly fond of strawberry cakes, or fruit flavored cakes in general, but this one was just like taking a bite of a chocolate covered strawberry!  Except I didn't have to deal with the cold of the strawberry, the chocolate breaking away and falling off, or the seeds that seem to always get stuck in my teeth.  I HIGHLY recommend if you are local to contact her to place an order soon because she will only be able to make a set number of them in order to guarantee the quality.  Yes, $40 does seem like a lot, but remember this is a homemade cake, no preservatives like what you might find in cakes from the grocery store.
