This topsy turvy cake with parrot tulips has some similarities to our pink cupcake topsy turvy cake. Resting atop the cake is a fondant cupcake with gold filigree and a crystal tiara. The parrot tulips are inspired by the “New Moon” book cover from the author of the popular Twilight series. The entire cake was pink velvet with vanilla buttercream. We delivered the cake to Sizzlers restaurant in Forrest Hills, NY. Kelly, the baby shower’s sister left us this fantastic blog comment. Thanks for the feedback Kelly! This cake was made for my sister’s baby shower and came out absolute... |

It is tulip season! Local tulips, french tulips, Parrot tuplips, and many others are showing their daily beauty. Did you know Tulips make up the biggest part of the total spring planting in the National Capital Parks? There are also nearly 100 varieties of tulips seen in one location called the tulip library near the north side of the Tidal Basin between the Washington Monument and the Jefferson Memorial.... |
I know we're heading into Autumn - although no sign on it yet thankfully!! - I've got spring flowers on the brain and in particular Tulips. Although they've never been a huge favourite of mine, there's no denying they're very pretty and the fact that they're available in such an array of colours means they'll work with just about any colour scheme. They look especially fantastic en masse..... I'd quite happily have a large vase of a single colour on my table today (husband are you reading?) And the Parrot Tulip - well that's a whole other story - they are stunning! The bicolour ones in the ima... |

Here are a few images of arrangements and bouquets I created for Martha Stewart Weddings using different tulips. Want to learn more about these flowers? Check out Martha Stewart Living.

Planting QueenI adore tulips! Whether it's because they mean an end to cold weather with the coming Spring or whether it's their bold colors or whether I just resonate to the graceful lines, they've always been one of my favorite flowers. Since the yellow and orange tulips in my front yard are in full bloom (and make me happy every time I walk outside), I thought I'd share some gorgeous tulip ideas for weddings. Mountain FloralTulip bouquets are stunning whether in a single hue or mixed together. MS Weddings via {frolic}These feather tulips mixed with real feathers are so unique and... |
Tulips are a beautiful choice for your wedding bouquet. They not too romance, not too elegant, and not too creative...it's just right! What's even better is that the meaning of tulip is perfect love. What else needs to be said on your wedding day except we've found perfect love?Photo... |
