National Tequila Day!
Today is National Tequila day! For tequila connoisseurs (such as myself) everyday is national tequila day. But today allows for me to share my favorite tequila infused cocktail with you. I’ve been making Palomas for years, so trust when I say this summer cocktail is so simple to make. You will look like a seasoned mixologist. Yes Mixology is a thing. But that’s another blog post. Let’s focus on the important task at hand….the crafting of this zesty bad-ass drink. I have provided the recipe below but feel free to edit the recipe to reflect your own personal taste. Drink smart and drink responsibly! Cheers!

Paloma cocktail:
1/4 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit juice
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup blanco tequila, brand of your choice, I use Don Julio
Top with 1/4 cup club soda. An alternative to keep the zest longer, try grapefruit soda
Garnish with choice of 1 lime wedge or a peel from a grapefruit. For fun sprinkle a little lavender

When it comes to wedding cakes, the bar has been re-set! Today’s wedding cake industry has evolved into an “Master Artisan Crafts Only” arena. There are now competitive cooking shows dedicated to wedding cakes and desserts that have spilled over into the wedding market giving couples an amazing amount of inspiration. Basically if you can dream it, cake designers can create it. Below is a little cake collection of some incredibly gorgeous designs we have had the pleasure of incorporating into a few of our weddings. If only we had access to digital scratch n’ sniff!

Intimate Malibu Wedding
Hi everyone! This wedding is so precious and heart-felt. Anna and Ed came to me with a desperate need to speed up their wedding date. They had been together for 9 years and had decided to make their coupling legal. At the same time they had learned that Ed’s sister had only a few months left to live. The wedding had to happen in 3 months. The only thing they new was that it had to be intimate, simple and had to happen near the ocean.
Needless to say we hit the ground running! With no time to spare I found a cozy private residence in Malibu with a stunning 180 degree ocean view. I then quickly snatched up photographer Leah Lee and HeirloomLA and called my friends at Classic Party Rents. With this great team of people, we were able to give Anna & Ed their dream wedding.
