Painting Your Hive
October 26th, 2008 @ 2:11 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
Hello Hive! It’s been a long time. I hope everyone is doing well. I’ve been a busy bee renovating our hive, being a worker bee and buzzing about the garden this summer. Like many of you who are moving into new hives yourselves, I thought I would revisit a question that I get often. One of the most exciting things about moving in together or getting a new place is making it your own. One of the most inexpensive ways to do that is by painting.
Bloggers Martha Stewart Show
September 18th, 2008 @ 11:27 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
The Weddingbee gals and I attended the Martha Stewart show today for bloggers. We brought our laptops and many of us blogged live from the show. It was so much fun! The show aired yesterday already.
The set is everything I imagined it would be! It’s amazing. She has a huge crew that takes care of every single tiny detail from reapplying her makeup to making sure the apples are lined up straight. She’s a very hard worker too!

Meeting Bees Across the Nation
July 28th, 2008 @ 11:35 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
What happens when you combine dessert, fruit, candy and a vegetable? Errr, a sweet sticky mess and fiber? Mrs. Butterscotch, Miss Cherry Pie (and Mr. Cherry Pie), reader Alysse and Mrs. Strawberry met with me at the Cheesecake Factory for brunch. We ate, we chatted, we swapped wedding albums…

There’s nothing like the 4 food groups!
Of course, no get together is complete without entirely embarrassing ourselves in public. Mrs. Strawberry wasn’t kidding when she said a meetup with her is a party!
Get a Room!

I’m back! And I brought eye candy!
[by Texas photographers Teresa & Tedd]
Some girls dream of weddings. Some girls dream of becoming a chess champion. No, not me. I dream of getting down and dirty with my husband on a busy (not to mention - dirty!) NYC street. As late night New Yorkers would walk by, they would shyly giggle and laugh. Then there was the occasional interruption because we had to let a tenant into the doorway that we were blocking.
Bushkill Falls
June 23rd, 2008 @ 8:14 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
For the adventurous couple, who prefer camping and hiking over laying on the beach and sipping pina coladas. Bushkill Falls, located near the Poconos is called The Niagara of Pennsylvania. We joked that it certainly wasn’t the scale of Niagara Falls, but we enjoyed it all the same. It reminded us how Niagara Falls used to be the HOT honeymooning spot once.
Winery Wedding in Pennsylvania
June 22nd, 2008 @ 11:25 am by Mrs. Snow Pea
During our hunt for a unique wedding venue, I was incredibly envious of the west coast brides such as Mrs. Penguin with numerous choices for a gorgeous winery wedding. We looked into wineries in New Jersey, but for one reason or another it never worked out. They just didn’t have the appeal as California wineries. Mr. Snow Pea and I took a day trip to Bucks County, PA and were delighted to find wineries that were not only gorgeous, but easy to get to and had flexible event packages.
Crossings Winery, Washington Crossing, PA where we had a wine tasting.
“Oh My Gosh!”
June 7th, 2008 @ 7:28 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
Mr. Snow Pea and I volunteered as “models” for Scott Robert’s workshop on Friday. I wanted to wait until I posted about the whole event, but I just had to drop this off. When I saw some of the photos, I gasped in disbelief. Is that really me? Holy smokes, it looks AMAZING!

Cupcake Stencils
March 1st, 2008 @ 12:23 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
I love these stencils from Crate and Barrel. Look, all 4 are our girls from weddingbee! I also love how these stencils have a little handle that you can hold it by - an easy way to decorate cupcakes and brownies for any event!

Tea and Biscuits

Instead of cards, I baked sugar cookies for my Valentine readers who participated in the card swap. I also included a Citrus Mint tea bag from Tea Forte, which I hope they will enjoy.

Cake Decorating At AC Moore
February 8th, 2008 @ 5:46 pm by Mrs. Snow Pea
In this week’s AC Moore flyer, there’s a coupon for 50% off their cake decorating class. Check out your local paper to see if they are offering one at a store near you. I am going there to sign up tonight.
I have always coveted the works of art seen on the Food Network competitions. Something about ruffled fondant flowers and lattice just excites me! A friend of mine took the class and now does some amazing cake designs that can be seen here on Cake Central. This is a great place for tips and inspiration especially if you have an ambitious friend who wants to make your wedding cake. This would be the ultimate DIY!
Have you or a friend taken a cake decorating class? What was your experience?
