A Commercial?!
Yes, it's true. Sweet Peony, my tiny little dessert catering company has its very own commercial... made by the oh-so-fabulous Scott McCabe and Tory Stanton of Two Trick Pony Productions. Scott and Tory have started a rockin' film studio in Berkeley and were generous enough to create this commercial. Check it out:

So exciting! My cupcakes were featured on "Style Me Pretty -- The Ultimate Wedding Blog" yesterday. I would have had no idea except that I started getting emails from strangers who read the blog asking to order cupcakes for their weddings... wow! The internet is amazing. That's all the news I have to impart today.

Emilie and Gray (the lovely couple I got to know by making these cupcakes for their reception) had a simply divine wedding in Sonoma last Spring. Congrats, folks! And the photography... nice work, Kate Webber!

Valentine's Day 2010

I think it's a shame that most people only get to design and eat their own wedding cake once (or twice, or thrice). They are such wonderful, gigantic, over-the-top desserts. And to only allow yourself one (or two, or three) in a whole g
reat lifetime... tragic. That's why I have decided to make a wedding cake for myself (and any others who want to partake) every year on my favorite holiday. (I started in 2009.) The jingle of sleigh bells do nothing for me. Scary masks and cheap candy bars... nothing. Too much dry turkey and a stomach ache... nothing. But Valentine's Day -- that's the one holiday that really makes me tick. So I decorate my house, I wear all the pink and red I can pull out of my closet, craft heart-shaped candies, make goody-bags for friends and students, fill the house with sweets and pink-colored savory foods... and slowly, but surely, work to convert all those Valentine's-Day-haters to loving (or at least tolerating) the sweeter side of the day. I find the best tool for such
a job to be 4 tiers of cake.
Valentine's Day Cake
Tier 1: Chocolate cake with Strawberry Buttercream
Tier 2: Vanilla cake with Passion Fruit Buttercream
Tier 3: Lemon cake with Blood Orange Buttercream
Tier 4: A teeny,
tiny, vanilla cake
Decorated with hand-made gum-paste and buttercream roses
