She did such a great job and was looking so great!  Trista, I’m not sure if you planned the pink shirt or not to go along with your fuschia and black logo–but if you did–I am even happier!

Her dark chocolate cake with creamy peppermint frosting looked so yummy! She even had them on an awesome cupcake tower!

Brooke and Darin  ,The Studio 5 hosts loved them made some fun comments:

Brooke–”What a fabulous presentation!” and “oooh and a fun addition to a winter wedding”

Darin–”oh, it’s dense…it’s heavier than I thought!”

Brooke–”I just took the frosting!”

 

***I’m having mega issues with getting the Studio 5 embedded video onto this wordpress blog. So be sure to watch it here.
