Cupcake Wars ...

Last blog, I addressed the trend of cupcake wedding cakes….They’re back!!! But some trends aren’t for everyone! So the question is: Is this the vision of your wedding cake? Still not sure? This will help!

Cupcake Wedding Cake vs. Wedding Cake!!

--Are you having a formal/traditional wedding? If so a wedding cake is the way to go!

--Are you interested in having a relaxed reception with everyone dancing the night away and having fun? If so….Let the child in your guests come out with unwrapping a cupcake!

--Are you interested in having a wedding cake cause you love filling? Tie!!! I love love love cannoli filling! Anywhere I can add cannoli filling wins with me! Girls … do see where I’m heading! You can actually get cupcakes stuffed with a filling these days!

--Are you interested in having a cake topper? Tie again! We all know a topper works perfectly on a wedding cake…. But how do you use a cake topper with a cupcake cake? The top layer of your cupcake tower will be a small wedding cake!

--Love the polished look of Fondant? It’s another tie! Fondant can be used on both!!!

Like I said before… It’s just a trend and trends aren’t always for everyone! Go with your vision and your cake will be BEAUTIFUL!

For all of you that don’t know …. Cupcake wedding cakes are making a comeback! There is something very whimsical to me about cupcakes. But don’t get me wrong…there are many pros and cons to the wedding cake vs. cupcake debate! In the end…it is only you that can figure out which is best for your wedding! .... And don't worry I wont let you down! I will give you the pros and cons next blog! Until then!

Indulge in the Celebration...

It all starts with a single moment when you realize the person your with is your soul mate. As days go by and your love grows stronger….that “moment” turns into a “thought”…. that turns into a “YES!”

Now your left with a vision… a vision you’ve had, since you were a little girl! The excitement of being engaged goes away and the panic sets in for some….Don’t let this happen to you! Come see the Wedding Event Specialists at The Rosewood. We can make your vision come to life.

The Rosewood… where it all starts!

Girls…Heads up!!! The girls of The Rosewood are on the road again!

We will be at the Staten Island Bridal Show this Sunday 1/16/2011! For more information about the show visit. www.americanbride.com

‘Tis the season for kisses, champagne and things that bling!!! Congratulations to all of you who just got engaged!! We at The Rosewood Caterers wish you all a healthy and happy New Year!!!

This One is for the Boys ...

Planning on proposing to the love of your life this holiday season. If you not sure how… here are 5 holiday proposals that will warm your honey’s heart!

1. Attach a ring to a candy cane along with a note saying “Will you marry me”…Put this in her stocking! She’ll never see it coming!

2. Spell out “Will you marry me” in Christmas lights on your roof or lawn!

3. Hire someone to be Santa on Christmas Eve or morning. Have your hired Santa give your sweetie several gifts prior to the ring… When it comes time for her to open the box with the ring…pop the question!

4. Take your sweetie on a horse and carriage ride…how romantic! Ask her to be your wife while you snuggle under the moon and stars!

5. Is your honey always on the computer shopping away…? Change her screen saver to “Will you Marry Me?”

Congratulations on your engagement! I look forward to seeing you soon!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland...

Twelve Tips to a Winter Wonderland Wedding:

1. Silver and pale blue make an excellent color combination for a winter wonderland…an excellent napkin color and chair sash selection!

2. Shimmery blue bride’s maid dresses with groom’s men matching ties are perfect for a winter romance

3. Festive escort cards and seated cards are a great way to complement your winter wonderland. Try candy canes, little angels, mini evergreens and/or ornaments

4. Create a holiday cookie bar for a special dessert surprise!!

5. A signature drink of white hot cocoa or eggnog is a great way to warm your guests up during cocktail hour!

6. Nicely potted white poinsettias or evergreens for your centerpieces add the finishing touch!

7. Snowflakes, snowflakes and more snowflakes for your tiered wedding cake! An ivory cake with white snowflakes is very classic.

8. A turkey carving station with all the trimmings is always a holiday favorite!

9. Add blue and white snowflake up-lighting to your ballroom! (Talk to your DJ about this!)

10. Holiday ornament favors... A perfect way for your family and friends to remember your special day every year they decorate their holiday tree!

11. “Santa Baby” makes a perfect song for the garter belt toss!

12. Complement your wedding dress with a fur (or faux fur) wrap, shawl, cape or muff! Très Chic!

Winter Can Be Beautiful!!!
