Saturday at the shop was busy as ever, full of walk-ins and custom orders. Our team worked to the max making bulldogs, eyeballs, and coffins... yes coffins!

After an exhausting Saturday we crawled out of bed, fought through the rain and rolled down to San Francisco to the Lovely Details Bridal Showcase at Fort Mason. The Marina District was wet with rain, hardly the backdrop for our bubbly brides to be and their tag-a-long fiancés.

It’s funny... I thought that the cupcake rage extended to the masses, but clearly the thought of having cupcakes INSTEAD of a traditional wedding cakes is hard for people wrap their minds around. We are completely booked solid for weddings in the month of June, and expected to fill up the rest of the summer today... oh well... apparently we need to educate everyone on the glamour of “the cupcake”

Congratulations! Have you set a date? Have you decided on a dessert or cake? Were the scripted phrases of the day delivered with the most genuine smile over and over again. Brides, MOB’s, DOC’s, and MOH’s carefully perused each booth touching fabrics, taking photos and eyeballing our cupcakes. Every moment carefully documented, I’m sure it will end up in some wedding planning scrapbook. I even had the pleasure of having my photo taken with a bride to document her cupcake tasting. Her face was red with embarrassment as her mother forced us together with our painted smiles.

The highlight of the Bridal Showcase was definitely the music provided by Synchronized Sound. They actually managed to create a head-bobbing phenomenon when they bumped Flo Rida's, “Low” There’s nothing like watching brides and their entourage “get low, low, low, low, low.... ha!
