Learn from Kate and Jake: The bridesmaids wore long, toffee colored dresses designed by Jim Hjelm. The stylish programs tied with satin ribbon were small enough for guests to put them in their pockets and purses. The doors to the church were decorated with wreaths filled with roses and hydrangeas. The couple sent their guests home with cheese pastries from the bride’s favorite bakery in Dallas.

Entertaining – Boston Cream Pie Cupcake

If you are hosting a dinner party, brunch, baby shower, or any other event this summer, consider making these delicious cupcakes. I thought they were going to be impossible to make, but they were pretty simple. I suggest that you watch the video and read the recipe on Martha Stewart’s website before tackling these cupcakes. I made these for the dessert at a barbeque this past weekend, and they were a hit. Everyone loved how cute and delicious they were (even the men). I highly recommend these cupcakes!
