Well, I haven't blogged in about a month... Oops! I've been busy running off to weddings and anniversaries all over the place! Here is a quick and dirty catch up on the wonderful people (and food!) I've seen in the last month.
On September 10th, my best friend got married in Springdale, UT. Springdale is the gateway to beautiful Zion National Park. Right above, you can see her INCREDIBLE funfetti wedding cake with the incredible red rock background of southern Utah. Her wedding was so wonderful and so moving. The reception was great too! They had it in a gorgeous apple orchard. Also, this was hands down the best wedding cake I've ever had.
When I got home, my fiance made this UH-mazing steak with blue cheese mashed potatoes and bell pepper puree. Mmmm. I'm a lucky girl!
Next, I headed off to St. Louis, MO to surprise my Dad and sister for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. That's a picture of my parents from the 70's... Love it!
I made them the butter, butter, butter cake I made back in July. It's dyed pink/red in honor of their ruby anniversary. Love you guys!
Then, we had couples night with some good friends from law school. That jello rainbow may have been prepared with some adult beverages!
Finally, I made an incredible homemade root beer syrup with sassafrass roots I pullled out of my uncle's backyard... Recipe to follow soon!
