DIY: Cake Recipe.

For the DIY bride or for anyone who loves to cook, bake or make small treats for not only weddings, but bridal showers, baby showers and birthdays. I wanted to post a simple enough recipe that can be easily followed and executed.

As an event planner/event designer, I've encountered couples with different budgets and with those on a smaller budget but still want that "umph" on there special day this might be a way to make it extra special be it any occasion. For bridal showers or weddings share recipes or have close friends bring in there special baked cookies, cup cakes or dessert cake and "tada" you've created your own special sweet table, its more sentimental because it was baked by special friends.

Below is an easy recipe to follow with pictures, enjoy.

Can you rock the color of the year 2013?

Can you rock the color of the year. It's a rich vibrant color, that might be intimidating at first sight, but if paired or coupled well can be very pleasing to the eyes.

It's the vibrant color "Emerald".

The brilliant green of the emerald is a color that conveys harmony and the love of Nature.The human eye can never see enough of this exceptional
color. Green is perceived as fresh and vivid, never as dull or boring. The emerald changes its color somewhat between the bright light of day and the artificial light of a lamp, but it retains its energy in all its nuances.

So are you bold enough to rock this color of the year?
Maybe these ideas will inspire you.
