Sweet and Saucy Shop - Tasty Treats that are Simply Beautiful

Sticking with the sweet theme this week, I wanted to showcase the amazing dessert designer Melody of the Sweet and Saucy Shop. The bummer for Bay Area Brides is that she is down south in Long Beach. But I just couldn't resist sharing a few of her fab designs just in case you demanded that she make your wedding sweets and then you would fly her up with your cake sitting on her lap (a la Sylvia Weinstock!)

Melody is the Owner and Head Pastry Chef of this adorable shop and creates some of the most stunning cakes I have ever seen! You have to click over and see more lovely stuff here on her blog.

Loving the cascade of rose petals down this all white cake.

The sweet detail of pink and white lace.

A gorgeous chocolate brown cake - yes, it is sitting on a BBQ and you will have to go to Melody's blog to find out why! ;)

You should see some of the crazy cool groom cakes she has created! This Nike Shoe Cake!

And this soccer ball cake. Melody goes into detail of how she makes them and there are a bunch more photos as well.

I hope one day I get to work with the lovely Melody from Sweet and Saucy Shop! Which cake above is your fav?

Sweet Monday - Ice Cream Sandwich Heaven!

Hi all! I am still recovering from working a tournament non-stop since Wednesday - we wrapped up late Sunday, and as soon as I got home, I plopped into bed and napped the early evening away. I'm not sure what it was, but my afternoon nap dreams were filled with scrumptious ice cream sandos and so my blog post today is dedicated to the yummy-ness I dreamt of yesterday. Check out some of these amazing ice cream sandwiches - they look like pure heaven!

Tender Crumb is a blog where Linda shares her passion for all things sweet and had me drooling over these red velvet ice cream sandwiches.

Such Pretty Things is just blog eye candy galore and I found these gorgeous ice cream sandos there.

As a little girl my momma made THE BEST peanut butter cookies! And the photo of this ice cream sandwich - chocolate chip ice cream and bananas squished between two peanut butter cookies - looks incredible.

And then I found these huckleberry ginger ice cream sandwiches over on Martha Stewart Weddings, where the couple that was featured decided to have these lovely finger desserts instead of wedding cake at their outdoor summer nuptials.
