Sweet! By Good Golly Miss Holly | Orlando Desserts | Custom Cupcakes | Tart Frozen Yogurt

One afternoon back in July of 2008 while surfing through FACEBOOK, I noticed there was a new bakery, Sweet!, specializing in cupcakes opening in Waterford Lakes Shopping Center. Now I had heard of the cupcake craze spreading in LA and New York and have always been jealous of Bridgette from the “Girls Next Door” whenever she got a cupcake from her local bakery, but now it was my chance to jump into the cupcake craze. So on July 4th during the grand opening of SWEET! By Good Golly Miss Holly, I had a chance to try out these delicious bits of heaven, and let me tell you, I have been hooked ever since. My favorite is the Boston Cream, I cannot even make it out of the parking lot without taking a bite of my take home treat. These cupcakes are a big hit for parties and weddings and are competitive in price with the per person costs of a wedding cake. The Sweet! website offers a myriad of pictures showcasing the variety of set-ups that can be done with cupcakes, and their cupcake towers create an awesome focal point for any event! This place is an absolute delight and I cannot wait to see owner, Hollis, open up shop throughout the state of Florida…so I can have a cupcake wherever I go!

Orlando Knot Party

This past Tuesday I had the honor of attending the Knot annual party for Orlando held at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria of Orlando.
I had the chance to mix and mingle with some of my colleagues in the wedding industry and we had a blast! The first half of the event was in one of the stunning ballrooms of the hotel. Flourish Productions and Raining Roses provided fabulous floral arrangements that brought life to the space as well as the mood setting lighting provided by Kaleidoscope Event Lighting. We were treated to acrobatic dancers who hang from the gorgeous ceilings, a live band, and plenty of yummy cocktails. There was living art throughthout the party which was tons of fun. I look forward to the opportunity to design and coordinate an event at this stunning venue! Thanks 'The Knot' for such an exciting evening!
