Sugar, Ah, Honey, Honey
Some days are stressful. But quality distractions can help. Like episodes of Futurama via Netflix Instant. And this interview with a baby sloth wrangler. And the critters on Cute Overload. And hey, dudes with beards eating cupcakes! Recently my hirsute co-workers helped me create my own take on this. (Full set of photos on flickr here.)
Beautiful Brides and Good Looking Grooms
Wedding season 2010 is in full swing and I hadn’t yet posted highlights from 2009! Without further adieu, shots from a few of the fun weddings I had the pleasure to document.
In May, ceremony and reception held at the Minnetonka Orchards
In July, ceremony at Father Hennepin Bluffs Park followed by a reception at The Soap Factory
In September, ceremony at the Walker Art Center’s Sculpture Gardens with a reception at the Riedel Mansion
Let Them Eat Cake
Yesterday marked the grand opening of Cake Eater Bakery, by two of my friends, in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. And it was crazy crowded! Area residents and other local fans are definitely embracing this long-anticipated new venture. And you can embrace them too. Check out their site, follow them on twitter, become a fan on Facebook and most definitely visit them, in person, at 2929 East 25th Street.
My Sweet Tooth
I have another busy weekend ahead of me but there will be time for cupcakes. Because there must be! Tonight the lovely Daley will be providing some at Eclipse Records, for the TEVS 4 Release Show with The Blind Shake, The Chambermaids and Seawhores. And I am mightily tempted by the prospect of Sheela’s blackberry lime numbers tomorrow, at Mitrebox in the Warehouse District of Minneapolis.
I’ll tell you what I want. What I really, really want.
Not to offend my dear Sheela, good friend and maker of many delicious things, but the all-vegan Sweetpea Baking Company in Portland, OR is a mighty fine place. And I find that Portland is on my mind today as it’s been nearly a year since my son and I vacationed there. Unfortunately we can’t afford to do so this Spring break, which is right around the corner. Instead I am trying to come up with fun alternatives closer to home.
