a photographer becomes a bride

Don't you just love it when a simple lunch turns into an impromtu wedding dress shopping extravaganza...especially when it happens to an amazing wedding photographer who is getting her own turn to walk down the aisle?!?!

Meet Sara Wolfram of onelove photography...the wedding photographer turned bride.  

"This is surreall...!" 

The woman at Rose Petals Bridal Store was so gracious (especially since we practically stormed into the salon following our lunch next door at SweetSalt Food Shop). She let Sara try on everything!

Gorgeous bride-to-be!

back from Mexico and ready for...doughnuts?

Perhaps it's the fact that sweets are a far cry from the savory Mexican food I devoured over the last few days, but somehow I'm dying for some yummy doughnuts. But...not just any doughnuts..I'm craving the amazingly gourmet version as served at the best dough-nut-eria this way of the Mississippi: Top Pot's hand-forged-goodness!

wouldn't this truck be a nice surprise for your wedding guests following a long hard night of dancing and drinks?

yummy strawberry and lemon. They have donuts in almost every color of the rainbow!

handmade with love! Find your nearest store...quick!

see???? That's what I'm talking about. My favorite was the Pink Feather Boa (coconut, strawberry, and champagne? any day!). What will your favorite be? To find out more, visit here. And...thanks always to 36Thirty for the amazing photographs.

croquembouche for the sweet tooth

I love cake! But...more than cake, I love croquembouche!

This French dessert consists of cream filled profiteroles dipped in carmel (and sometimes chocolate), which are then stacked into a magnanimous cone shape.

And, as if these sweet treats weren't decedent enough, the golden tower is then drizzled with sugar or carmel or sugared almonds or macaroons...or ANYTHING YOU WANT!

Yummy!
