S is for...

Summer, Super busy, Sorry and SCRUGGS! The brand new married name!

We are so sorry that it has taken us so long to get back on the blog. Wedding season is the the most beautiful, busy time of the year and more so when it's YOUR wedding season. :) As soon as things ease up a bit, we'll be back on here regularly. We hope that everyone is having a Sweet Summer and we look forward to catching you up and catching up with you!

One Love,

April Showers ...

Bring deliciousness!



My Bridal Shower is this Sunday and I am so excited and nervous! I want to take a minute to thank everyone who has helped plan this day for me. I know it is going to be abundant in laughter, friends and, of course, cake!

Here is a peek of the petite fours made just for the shower to match my fabulous hot pink dress!

Happy Weekend!

One Love,
Jasika

Delicious

It really felt like Spring in Baltimore this weekend! 68 degrees and sunny perfection. We hope everyone had a sweet weekend.



One Love,
Jasika

Oh, Boy!

Petite Four Couture wants to give a BIG Congratulations to our dear friend Karineh!

Karineh is expecting her first in just a couple months! To our complete irritation, she won't tell us the baby name but we just can not wait to meet her baby boy. If he is anything like Karineh, he will be brilliant, sincere and completely gifted.

Because life is obnoxious sometimes, my Bridal Shower and Karineh's baby shower fell on the same day yesterday! We sent a little care package for her because we just can not resist cute things.

Dearest Karineh, We are so proud of all of your accomplishments and the beautiful life and family you have created. Wishing you peace (and quiet) as you enter such a wonderful chapter of your life.

Round Almond and Vanilla cake filled with mixed berry jam. Dipped in pastel tinted white chocolate ganache. Topped with handcrafted vanilla buttercream bows and fondant rattles. Sugar flowers with hand painted detailing: The perfect {2} bites.

One Love,
Jas

The votes are in!

We are so glad that our favorite collection is yours too! Formally introducing The Signature Collection!

where credit is due

Here at Petite Four Couture, we know how extremely important the little details are when you’re planning an event. We pride ourselves on getting know our customers first and pay attention to their likes and dislikes as if they were our own. It may sound silly to others but we know how much time you spend thinking about things like flavors and colors for your day.

Not only do we deal with so many different vendors for multiple functions for our business, but I am also planning my own wedding that is just months away!! I am on linen, lighting, venue, photographer, draping, catering overload. Although I am confident in all of our vendors, I just have to give a big warm shout out the florist we’re using; Great Expectations : Flowers by Inka

I have made countless changes, deletions and additions to my wedding flowers, that even I got dizzy at some points. Being so detail oriented is definitely a blessing and a curse. Not only has our florist, Inka, been so prompt in confirming each time she’s received an e-mail, but yesterday she sent me an itemized list of all the changes I’ve made within the last few months. I pulled out our original contract and compared. She took note and organized my every scribble and every one sentence e-mail I’ve sent her from the very beginning.

Inka is an amazingly talented floral designer. Her work is traditional with a creative flair that makes every piece unique and reflective of the customer. I am so thrilled to see other business owners who take pride that their work will echo and wow their customer. We work hard at this every single day.

If you are in the Maryland area and are hosting any kind of event, I would recommend seeing what Inka can do for you.

We hope you all had a love filled weekend. Look forward to some amazing photographs of our Spring 2009 Collection!

happy love day!

We hope it's delicious!

Cheers!

We just love when we get to know the people we are baking for. We got to create petite fours for Megan's Birthday. Meg had a beautiful champagne brunch at her downtown home for a few of her close friends. We had so much fun during our consultations and doing dessert set up, she invited us to stay! Serving petite fours and fruit in lieu of birthday cake was a big success with the ladies. Bathing suit season is upon us!

Meg you are full of surprises and we've had a blast spending time with you. We wish you a very Happy Birthday. We hope all of your wishes come true!




One Love,
Jas and Alicia

Meg chose to serve our Signature Collection for her brunch. {French Vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Dipped in a pink white chocolate ganache and dusted with pink sugar. Topped with a marzipan flower}

Only 2 weeks left for custom orders!

Petite Four Couture in Philly!

We are elated about the weekend we just had! We have been designing and creating and planning and preparing for our trip to Philadelphia for weeks upon weeks.

It went beautifully.

We just wanted to share your very own BEHIND THE SCENES look at our website design and photography. However, first things first. We want to say a few very special things.

1. Thank you to the lovely and talented Cassandra Ellis for all of your generous help this weekend. Cassandra is an accomplished and amazingly clever designer and an up and coming photographer. Please go by her website and get a glimpse of her work. Cassandra: You are so gracious and we are so lucky to have your help and support.

2. What can I say about Philadelphia? A city who has completely separate parking lots made up of all handicap spots is seriously The City of Brotherly Love. ( I know!) Every time I go to Philly, I am more and more impressed with it's natural and charming beauty. We enjoyed so much being able to get out and play between working.

Please enjoy your exclusive view from our side!

A closer look coming soon!
One Love,
Jasika and Alicia

The Spring Collection {2009} - sneak peek

We can not tell you how excited we are for our very first Spring Collection! We have extremely high hopes for 2009 and after drooling over the world's most ridiculously amazing designers, I have a feeling it is going to be one of our favorites to create so far. This Spring it is all about classic silhouettes with some outrageous elements. There are a lot of jewel tones being mixed with muted monochromatic colors. Traditionally, petite fours are airy pastel colors, so we are pretty much obsessed about making the cakes bold and timeless for Spring.

So here is your official behind the scenes tour of our clippings, sketches and inspiration. We hope you're as excited as we are to see all of this come to life!
