I’m truly in awe of what Karen is able to pull off! She arrived in North Carolina, sourced, created, and installed all of the wedding flowers for Ashley and Christopher at their beautiful black tie wedding in Wallace, North Carolina.

dreamy tree arch
We gave our all to take good care of Sally and Billy on their wedding day – with custom flowers, plus wedding cake and a dessert table spread on Thursday, September 28, 2023 at Botanica Gardens in Oceanside, California.
Peek at our post of the flowing tree arch – a dream-installation – naturally framing the pond and waterfall, without compromising this beautiful space, or the integrity of the precious tree.
No-Knead Artisan Bread: easy. awesome. dutch oven method.
This is the easiest and best dough (for bread, focaccia, fritelle, or pizza) that I am constantly making.
Everything I have ever loved or wanted in a home-baked loaf, is wrapped inside this comfort-food recipe for easy and awesome, no-knead artisan bread. Here we have a golden, crisp crust, and soft-pillowy air to the inside, with the sounds and taste that bring me more joy and notes from my childhood than I can put into words.
August at Botanica Gardens
I’m sharing details of our custom-recipe dessert catering at Botanica Gardens in Oceanside. This August we were onsite to set three unique dessert tables plus wedding cake for our beautiful wedding couples.
It’s fun to share the visuals and look back in a busy wedding season. (The weekends of late-summer and early fall go by so quickly, one week feels like three have passed!) These images and notes also help our potential clients consider specific quantities and how they may be presented.
flowers, “New Bay,” and Nonna’s cakes
We celebrated Nonna’s 80th birthday as a family with a seafood boil featuring our New Bay seasoning, July-baby floral arrangements to decorate, and her two favorite cakes.
