Cake, Deconstructed

March 12th, 2009 @ 10:26 am by Mrs. Bruschetta

(source)

Miss D’orsay, Miss Latte, and Weddingbee hostess MightySapphire requested the recipes for the cake-in-a-jar “asks” I created to invite my nearest and dearest to be in the wedding party. Well, ask and you shall receive.

The five recipes — Toasted Coconut Cherry Cake, Pineapple Spice Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Cake, Mocha Chip Cake, and Orange Almond Cake — all require the same wet ingredients (which won’t…

A Tale of Two Cities: Part I

March 11th, 2009 @ 3:32 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…Hmmm, maybe Dickens knew something about wedding planning? Or perhaps we were subconsciously inspired by his novel — or at least its title?

Our summer celebration will carry from the suburbs to the city, so we wanted to provide a bit of background about why we chose two (very different) areas for our wedding day.

She Asked, He Said Yes

March 11th, 2009 @ 11:19 am by Mrs. Bruschetta

No, this isn’t a proposal story — but without this piece of the puzzle, we might never have gotten to where we are today! So, let me explain…

Midway through high school, I’d had it with boys. Vowing to avoid awkward moments henceforth (yup, that’s all the detail you’re getting) I threw myself into my studies. College visits, tours and applications marked the rapidly-passing months. Soon,…

Mummer of the Bride

March 10th, 2009 @ 12:11 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

For Philly-area residents, the Mummers are as familiar as Tastykakes, Wawa, and cheesesteaks. For anyone else… um, let me explain.

mumm’s the word - by Whisked Away on Polyvore.com

Every year on New Year’s Day, the Mummer’s Parade (Mrs. Cupcake posted about this) struts through the city, bringing with it elaborate costumes and spirited performers competing in four categories — Comics, Fancies, String Bands, and Fancy Brigades.

Cold Hands, Warm Hearts

March 9th, 2009 @ 12:33 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

I love my friends.

They comfort me and allay my bridal guilt.

They come out at night to try on bridesmaid dresses when it’s 17 degrees out (but feels like 10).

They easily agree on the same Amsale bridesmaid dress, and with orders placed, we’re able to cross another item off the to-do list.

I think that deserves a little recognition, don’t you?

With an evening appointment at the salon,…

Alphabet Soup

March 8th, 2009 @ 12:40 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

Words amuse me. They can entice, empower, tickle or taunt. Accuse me of persiflage, and I’ll readily admit to being the guilty party.

Why? Because I’m in good company, with people like her and her.

And with myriad nuptial neologisms contending for the prime position at the tip of my tongue, I thought I’d share some freshly-minted Miss Bruschetta phraseology.

Let Them Eat Cake…

March 6th, 2009 @ 4:50 pm by Mrs. Bruschetta

…but make them bake it first!

Back up with me a bit. Soon after Mr. Bruschetta and I were engaged, I found a gift idea in a magazine that turned out to be the perfect way to assemble my half of the wedding party. Nearly six months after I bookmarked it, with a newly-minted DIY spirit (and some crafting goodies to boost my confidence), I set…

Greetings, hive!

I’m elated to join Weddingbee as Miss Bruschetta! For the past year, I’ve been an actively-buzzing member of this community, following each bee as she plans, marries and recaps. Truthfully, I was on-again, off-again about applying, and even started my blog intending to make it food focused. When I struggled to find the time to cook to my heart’s content, though, wedding plans found…

A few hours before the wedding ceremony, I was spazzing out to my bridesmaids and Mr. Candy Corn’s mom. I couldn’t stop asking her for hugs because I was so nervous, I thought I was going to poo. Yes folks, when I get really nervous before a job interview or an event where I am in the spotlight (*cough* bridal shower *cough*), the stomach cramps…

While the girls and I were rolling around in a limo, the boys were off in their secluded room on the first floor of the museum, preparing to take group photos.
