Henry Hager And Jenna Bush Wedding
Your wedding will no doubt be the most romantic day of your lives, it's a celebration of love and commitment. But it's also the biggest party you'll probably ever throw. So pull out all the stops and make it a night to remember. We've researched the top wedding experts to find their best ideas for throwing a fun and unique reception, while maximizing the romance and tugging at the heartstrings of your guests. Whether you use one or 10 of them, we hope you will find at least a few new and creative ideas to make your reception even more fabulous.
If you're planning an outdoor event, don't forget to spray the grounds for insects about an hour before the guests arrive.
Skip the huge head table at the reception, share an intimate dinner for two, or share a small table with your parents or children.
Ask your caterer to prepare a late night snack for the bride and groom. As more often than not you are too busy with guests when dinner is served.
Want to use those disposable cameras on the reception tables. To avoid having hundreds of the same pictures by turning your guests into creative photographers with a photo hunt. Leave a list of ten great photos you would like that table to take during the reception. Photo ideas could include; build a pyramid, group table shot, funniest pose, a guest kissing the bartender or grandparents holding hands.
Don't like the disposable cameras but still want to get memories captured by your guests? Set up a docking station so guests can load their photos to your computer on the spot.
Offer your guests one or two signature cocktails that you've personalized with a cute name and your wedding colors.
Want the expensive look of calligraphy for your invitations without the cost? Calligraphic fonts that look like the real thing are readily available. Free font sources: searchfreefonts.com, highfonts.com, dafont.com
Have a graphic artist create a custom wedding logo that you can use on printed materials and other elements of your wedding to create a cohesive look. (If you’re artistic you can do this yourself.

My best friend is a master chef and baker, although I hardly ever get to try her delights because whenever we do have a chance to catch up we opt to go out to dinner so neither of us has to do any work...and because we are both Thai food freaks and know we will never make it as good as the place around the corner from her house.
She made this three layer chocolate cake with one white cake layer in the middle(she admitted that she cheats and uses box mix) for a recent birthday celebration.
She filled chocolate raspberry moose in between the layers and made white chocolate ganache frosting with chocolate shaving around the edge and raspberries around the sides.

I´m meeting Robert Pattinson at a restaurant along the Croisette in Cannes. The film company hasn´t disclosed time and place until the day before but somewhere it leaks. A gossip blogger tweets about it and hours before the worlds hottest and most hunted 23-year old is in the house fans and paparazzi gather around the place.They have bodyguards in every corner of the restaurant.

Greece is a land of vibrant cuisine. It is food that is neither spicy nor bland, but rich in the flavors of the Mediterranean. It is comfort food in the truest sense of the word.

Kitchen WisdomStuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of an ice cream cone to prevent ice cream drips.Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Pete's sake! You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway!To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix. Keeps in the pantry for up to a year.When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.Go to the bakery!

This is a cake a made for a boy's birthday. It is white cake with butter cream icing, covered in Marshmallow Fondant. I wish a had a little more time on this cake to make a fondant golfer, but this plastic one had to do.

This is a cake I just made for my boyfriend's birthday. White cake, mocha chocolate filling, covered with thin layer of butter cream and marshmallow fondant. All of the accents are in fondant except for the "grill grates" which I used lollypop sticks.

I made this cake for a sweet lady that loves anything with animal print, glittery or shiny items. This is what I came up with. White cake with butter cream icing, covered in marshmallow fondant.
