Mother’s Day Table

Mother’s Day is an occasion to honor the women who hold a special place in our lives. They don’t have to be our moms and grandmothers only, they can be close friends as well. Our table is a garden hat and hydrangea (Mama Bear’s favorite flower) theme.  Deep purple  and vibrant green make up the […]

Mother’s Day Lunch

A nut bread tea sandwich finishes this lovely plate.  The sandwich is […]

We adore this beautiful cake.  The cake itself is similar to a pound cake in its texture and is perfectly complemented with a delicious raspberry layer.  Lemon-flavored buttercream […]
