Love-filled weekend

From the celebration of our 2nd anniversary, to a wedding, to wedding cookies and cupcakes this weekend was filled with LOVE!! My incredibly, amazing, loving husband planned a special anniversary for us this past weekend. He is so good at surprises and making things so special. We went to eat at a wonderful restaurant in Uptown called Avanti Ristorante (delicious) and then spent the evening at the W Hotel. We were so spoiled!!!

Then Saturday morning he surprised me by taking me to Frosted Art which is Bronwen Weber's bakery in Dallas. She has competed in several Food Network Challenges and has even won a few times. I am always amazed by her work and even more amazed that my sweet husband found this place to take me (I knew it was here, but I would have never thought he would know). I did not get to take my picture with Bronwen nor any pictures of her work, but here is the outside of her shop! I was like a little girl in a candy shop (but this time a bakery) and on cloud nine in there!

Since Frosted Art was just about looking, after we ate lunch Sam took me to Sprinkles! I honestly can't get enough of this place. If you have not taken the time to go get a cupcake at Sprinkles, get up right now and drive to Preston Center (if you are in the DFW area that is), this is a MUST!! We decided on a Strawberry cupcake and a Banana Dark Chocolate cupcake. We split them each and in about .5 seconds they were GONE!!!

Just before we attacked!

All gone. Thank you honey for such a special weekend. A time to just concentrate on each other and a little mini vacation. You are an amazing man and made just for me. The Lord is so good to me through you, and I am blessed each day.

Then Saturday evening I went to a college girlfriend's wedding while Sam went to watch his good friend Chance Douglass pitch at Dr. Pepper stadium. Congratulations Jeremy and Katie! She was a gorgeous bride. Hopefully I will have pictures to come once I get them from the girls who were clicking away (hint, hint).

I was also asked to make some cookies and cupcakes for a wedding shower! I had so much fun making wedding cookies. I decided on bridal gowns and wedding cakes. The wedding colors are going to be green and salmon, so I did my best to match the colors. For this reason I decided to make strawberry cupcakes with Sprinkles strawberry icing (yes, this is why I had to try a strawberry cupcake, and yes my icing really did taste just like it) and lime cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing with a hint of lime. I thought they all turned out really cute!! I don't have too many pictures, but here is a little sample! Enjoy!!
