Check out the ultra cute custom cake topper we made for the Rachael Ray show. I hope she likes it! A single custom cake topper makes the perfect birthday cake topper!
We're excited for the premier of My Fair Wedding this Sunday night because one of fully custom wedding cake toppers will be featured. The bride is Brooke and she made the cutest cake top with the bride and groom dressed like pirates!

David Tutera has planned plenty of destination weddings. So when he heard he was headed to the Caribbean, the last thing he imagined was a "pirates of the caribbean" themed wedding. With only 21 days until the big day, missing the mark on this one might mean David walking the plank!
Well, a whole freakin' year has gone by. I have been a mom mom for a whole year. I can hardly believe it. A year ago today, I was recovering from having my mid-section surgically pulled open in order for Ryder to get out the easy way. He spent the next two days in NICU and I spent the next two days trying to get my head around what had just happened.
The last few weeks we have been transitioning from infancy to toddlerhood. There have been some major changes in what Ryder eats and how often he eats. Most notably, he is finally off the $25 a can organic formula he's been drinking since 7 months or so. This is a $100 a month habit that we are happy to break. The cow's milk is 100% whole, fatty, organic and delicious. He hates it. I keep taking sips myself to figure out why he is rejecting it. I myself haven't had whole milk since I was probably his age and my god, is it good!
The hardest part about change is fearing it. For instance, I put the tyke down tonight with no goodnight bottle. Just changed his diaper and threw him in the crib. Gus and I kidded about our new bedtime routine. While other weary parents spent an hour bathing, reading, bottling and singing, our routine tonight consisted of a diaper change. He howled a bit but the shots this morning made him pretty drowsy (not to mention irritable!) and he's happily snoozing away as we speak.
His doctor appointment went well today. He's 31 inches tall and 23 pounds. 90th% for height and 50th% for weight. Doc says he will be 6'3", 175lbs at adulthood. Sounds about right.
Happy first birthday to my little boy, favorite toy and pride and joy.

Did you know that The Younique Boutique makes a ring bearer pillow custom just for the bride in her colors? Yup! We have about 20 styles to choose from or you can make up your own. We offer lots of fabric colors, ribbons, silk flowers, buttons and other fun embellishments. Why go white and frilly when you can create a custom pillow no one has ever seen before?
Yes, I know it's July. I just started thinking about Christmas this year. It's right about now that it always hits me. I love Christmas and being in the personalized gifts business, I have to pull out all the stops or my family let's me know it.
This year, I'm think about giving everyone personalized photo pillows. They're the perfect size to throw on the sofa, use on the floor when hanging out watching the tube or to place on the bed. My mother-in-law lost her prized pooch a couple of years back and I thought that a photo pillow with a picture of Misty would be really special.

Looking for a unique, personalized gift idea? How about a hand painted plate from The Younique Boutique? This plate was made for Ryder's best buddy, Des for his first birthday. Des's parents will use it to serve his birthday cake for the next few years (or until it breaks).
You can also use these as signature plates. Guests sign with a special marker at the birthday party. After the event, bake in your oven for 30 minutes. The piece is food and dishwasher safe.

I am too excited to wait to show these to you! I have been busy working on a brand new line of wedding cake toppers. We will have similar options to our line of funny wedding cake toppers. There will be 5 pre-made groom styles to choose from, 5 pre-made bride styles, a pre-made flower girl and pre-made ring bearer. Custom cake toppers are perfect for weddings, anniversaries and birthdays.
