You couldn't have a party without the custom designed cocktails by famed Mixologist Victoria Matthews of "Victoria Secret Cocktails".

When it came down to choosing a bakery I decided to keep the family tradition going. The butter pound cake with a light key lime filling tasted just as amazing as it appeared. It was close to the heart being that Sharon custom made my baby shower cake when I was pregnant with Milan as well as catering her very first birthday party.
What other way to welcome the newest member of our family into the world but to welcome him with style, grace, and an abundance of LOVE.
Oh my god! This is outstanding. The cake is beautiful. Ah! I have to share this post with my brother because we are organizing a baby shower party for my sister in law. She is going to love this cake a lot. Also, I have booked her favorite event venue Atlanta for the day.
