Bethany + Dan Sneak Peek: the deets

May 18th, 2010

A few weeks ago, I kicked off the wedding season with the May 1 nuptials of Bethany and Dan on the Farm at Putah Creek in Winters, Calif. (You’ll remember I did Trent and Jean’s wedding there last October.)

While all the shots haven’t been totally prepared and edited to the nines just yet, their photographer Stephen Hughes indulged me and sent these lovelies to my inbox for sharing. Nosh on this delicious eye candy and expect more in the next couple of weeks.

And just a note please that if you are going to use these pictures that you properly credit Stephen and the original source (this blog, essentially) of the photos. You can even notify him or me (g@lilyspruce.com) if you do so. Thanks mucho!

P.S. I have never had such delicious vegan cake in my life, one of which was lovingly baked by one friend and the main two-tier by another, finished on-site. Needless to say, more to come!

Kiss Me Cake

Now this, is impressive. Get the how-to here.  The baker parsed out seven bowls and added one more drop of green food coloring to each succeeding bowl to get the gradation. Next she baked the bowls, let the rounds cool, then stacked and slathered. Cool, right? Seems labor intensive, but wouldn’t it be a fun display cake at the reception?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I’ll be making these cupcakes for an Irish-themed dinner tonight with friends…
