100

Wow! As if Friday's not a good enough reason to celebrate and run after work to the nearest and bestest happy hour place, it turns out that this is my 100th post on this blog :) Yayy!

By the way, would you ever consider decorating your wedding cake the impressionist style? I think it's pretty cool...

Yay to us!

One full month of simple wedded bliss :)

Tonight, we're gonna celebrate by eating the top tier of our musical cake. Yes, the same cake that we're supposed (and planned to) to keep frozen for a year. Why not, right?

FB

I can't believe how many pictures of my wedding is uploaded by my friends on facebook. I'm having so much fun looking at them all 'coz I get to see how the guests are enjoying themselves :) Here is my fave picture from my friend's camera:


On a side note.... how cute is this wedding cake? The inspiration for this cake came from our first date. We went to see The Phantom of The Opera, and so the cake decoration (the cream) is actually music notes from the song "All I Ask Of You". Awww... :) :) Plus, it's definitely one of the tastiest wedding cake I've ever had :)

Vintage Founds

I went to a thrift store in Anaheim last weekend, and..... look what I found!!


Cool vintage frames! Remember I said a while back that we are going to name the tables according to broadway shows ? Well, these are a preliminary sample of what the table numbers are going to be. Total estimated cost for 20 tables? under 20 - 30 bucks. Can you imagine? A buck per frame (and I just printed out the playbills from my home printer). the frame in the middle is $2, but the other ones are $1 each. They also had lots of tall vintage vases for ranging between $2-10. My goodness.... It's like I died and went to vintage shopping heaven. I had collected about 10 different frames and 5 vases when my fiance came to my side, pulled me out of the daze I was in, and brought me back into reality. He literally had to put the frames and vases back to the shelves and drag me to the car so that I don't go crazy buying these darling frames and vases..... I only managed to 'save' these three frames but I think I'll go back there without him one of these days *shhh! don't tell!*

Anyway, here's the story behind the 2nd frame (the one in the middle). You can't really see it in the pictures above, but here's a close up picture of it.
This is the movie ticket from our first date together. Phantom of the Opera. January 8, 2005. I recently found it inside the pocket of my sister's dressy jacket that I wore on that date 4 years ago. It was a thick jacket, so I only wear the jacket once in a while, which explains why the ticket stayed intact for so long. I'm glad I found it though.... Isn't it a wonderful memorabilia? I think I will place this frame, along with the frames of our grandparents and parents' wedding pictures around the wedding cake as a little nod and a wink to them ;)

Wedding Cake

I almost forgot! I'm in negotiation with the cake people now. I gotta tell you... for the cheapest cake I could find, they make the best cake that I have tasted during the whole "cake tasting" experience. Lets get through the checklist again:
Value *check*
Taste *check*
Reliability *check*
Nice design *check*

People, I think we have a winner.....

Here's a picture of something that we like for the wedding cake:


Actually I couldn't find an exact picture of the cake I wanted, but this one is pretty close. Except: I want it to be white music notes on white cake, and Mr. B wants it to be square. Aaaaaa it's gonna be so nice :)

I.love.Little.Saigon.... :)

Let's have cake!

Wedding Cake

I went to Little Saigon last Sunday, and found this place that sells really delicious cream puffs. It's such a great deal at 4 piece per dollar, so imagine getting these cream puffs, and creating them into a tastefully decorated croquembouche :)

Cool....
