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.

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,

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!

Hello, gorgeous

The one and only, ultra fabulous French designer Christian Lacroix has tag teamed with Evian to design a Limited Edition bottle. I, initially, saw the bottle flipping through one of my 700 bridal magazines and fell.in.love. It is absolutely stunning.

Voila! On Christmas morning my mother-in-law to be, had one tucked in a wine box for me. Not because I had mentioned it, but because she knows me and my love of rare glass bottles oh so well. I've had it sitting on a hanging crystal cake stand for ultimate inspiration.



How fabulous are these?

How much more fabulous would they be sitting on a dessert table with tiny cakes? Thank you Mr. Lacroix for the inspiration! And yay to marrying fashion and food like two of the most amazing women I know. ;)



Evian Pret-a-porter bottle retailing at $6
Evian Haute Couture bottle retailing at $50


Happy 2009.
one love,
Jas
