Be sure to visit Stella & Dot Independent Stylist Michele Gayler's booth at the Southern Women's Show! "Four days of shopping, fashion shows, celebrity appearances, food sampling, pampering, and more. Save the Date! April 12-15, 2012 at the Nashville Convention Center." -Southern Women's Show Nashville, Facebook.com
TLC was in Nashville Sunday, March 11th filming a spin-off of Say Yes to the Dress called Randy to the Rescue. Randy Fenoli and his team travel to 8 cities to meet with brides who would not normally be able to fly to NYC to meet him. He brought 200 gowns from some of the finest designers and also brought hair and makeup teams in to make each bride feel even more beautiful.
I had spent a week in Louisiana with the Sweet Southern Ladies in January, who had been on and won Ultimate Cake-Off from TLC. They were asked to be a part of the Randy to the Rescue event in New Orleans a few weeks ago and recommended that TLC call me when they moved onto Nashville. Courtney Hammons from A Magical Affair designed my booth.
It was such a fun experience to see the production side of such a fabulous show and I really loved meeting Randy and the whole crew. VERY down to earth people who absolutely LOVED my petit fours and cake truffles.

We're still featuring details from our local "Country Chic" wedding this past weekend. Today is all about the cake! (yay!) Jac chose Heather Noble of Covered with Icing to create her wedding cake. The "flavors were Strawberry and Spice cake with Cheesecake filling/buttercream. The pattern was a modified Paisley print that matched the invitations." -Heather Noble, Covered with Icing
Heather hand-piped on the paisley print in purple (P.S. the print matched the groom's tie as well...it's all about the details!). Jac picked out the topper. The birds were originally on a heavy wooden bottom that Jac wasn't fond of, but she didn't know how to remove it. When Heather got to the venue to deliver the cake, she used dowel cutting shears to remove the base. There's nothing better than a handy vendor!!
