Chic Sweets Segment To Air on Daytime Morning Show!

So I am so excited to share with everyone some news! Chic Sweets(me!) will be on Daytime live on Wednesday, November 11, 2009 on NBC (channel 8, in Tampa). Daytime is a daily morning television show with hosts Cyndi Edwards and Dave Nemeth that airs on stations across the southeast including: WFLA/Tampa, FL; WRBL/Columbus, GA; WNCN/Raleigh, NC; WCWJ/ Jacksonville, FL; WSAV/Savannah, GA; WCBD/Charleston, SC.

I’ve have been in touch with host, Cyndi for some time now, and she has been extremely supportive of Chic Sweets and our work. On the segment, I get the chance to talk with Cyndi about the challenges of running a business and the progress we’ve made so far. As a working mother of three, it’s very easy to talk about the work it takes to get a business up and going. Cyndi is such a gracious host so I’m SUPER EXCITED to see the segment.

I also had a chance to recreate a dessert table we recently did for another photoshoot we did in conjunction with the fantastic MMD Events and Limelight Photography. The table was an all white-on-white with a crip and modern, “winter” feel to it.

Of course, the table would not have been a success with all the other FANTASTIC vendors that helped make it happen! THANK YOU!

Cookies, Cookies, Cookies!

I have an official cookie crush! So part of what makes Chic Sweets’ unique is that we are constantly on the look out for the best bakers out there.

When the Gum Drop Cookie Shop, a fantastic cookie shop based out of New York sent us a batch of their cookies, we instantly fell in love. Their line of cookies not only is delicious but is stylish, unique and personal. The owner, Thea Zagata has a wonderful staff of graphic designers that work to create a line of cookies that are so reflective of today’s “modern bride.”

We recently worked with Thea to create a batch of wonderful cookies, personalized with the “Daytime” logo for a segment that Chic Sweets taped on Monday. Everyone love them and we were so excited to debut our edible pieces of art on our “winter wonderland” table.
You will have a new place in your heart after trying these cookies! Trust me!

Have a few more pictures to share from Ricco and Ariel’s wedding at the Embassy Suites in Downtown Tampa! It was a special dessert table with plenty of details including white “candy” cones, cake pops in a pool of pink and white M&M’s, a pink table centerpiece with branches and light pink roses, and of course, hanging pink ribbons with rhinestones.

One of the more touching moments of the evening is when the father of the bride told us how touched he was by the gesture and tribute to his wife that had passed away from this terrible disease.
Thanks again to all the other vendors that helped put the rest of the pieces together: Flawless Occassions; FishHawk Florists and Artistique Photography-it was a pleasure working with all of you.

We’re super busy with lots of projects today, but I wanted to get some more pictures up of our candy buffet from the photoshoot courtesy of MMD Events at the Tampa Marriott Westshore. MMD’s Matt and Amanda Allen created a fantastic ceremony site inspired by shades of pinks and golds, a chic poolside cocktail lounge complete with centerpieces floating in the water and a reception area in the ballroom!

We were also so fortunate to collaborate with many talented professionals for the event, including the incredible Michael and Rebecca Zoumberos from Lightlight Photography. They were able to capture everything and so much more!

Sneak Peek: Breast Cancer Awareness Dessert Table

Last night I had the pleasure of working with an absolutely lovely couple at the Embassy Suites in downtown Tampa. The event was quite the affair, with friends and family members, and the party was filled with love and energy. The dancing was nonstop!

The Chic Sweets’ table was in honor of my bride’s mother who passed away from breast cancer. After talking to the bride, we wanted to do something special and memorable for her and the guests. There were so many wonderful, meaningful details, but here is a sneak peek of the dessert table. I’ll provide more pictures soon!

Fabulous Vendors:
Venue: Embassy Suites Tampa
Coordinator: Beth Carrick at Flawless Occassions
