Italian Meringue Buttercream Recipe

Frosting a cake is a breeze with Italian meringue buttercream. It’s light texture is a great frosting for wedding cakes. You can add preserves to give it a different flavor and color for your special event. Make sure the butter is at room temperature before you begin!

This is a great recipe from local cakery, Creative Creations Cakery!

Wedding Planning - Buffalo Style!

Leave it to the KC You There and Winging It Buffalo Style teams to have the crazy idea to plan a wedding in less than 2 weeks! When they asked if we wanted to be a part of it, we did not hesitate to agree to be on board with providing the dessert for such an event. 

When it comes to planning a wedding, one of the most fun elements (especially from our point of view) is planning the cake! We're teaming up with our favorite, Creative Creations Cakery, to design a one-of-a-kind wedding dessert experience. 

Lately, brides have been opting for a dessert table feel for their wedding. However, you don't have to go crazy with different desserts. Depending on the size of your reception, you can pair a smaller tiered cake with levels of cupcakes to give it dimension and your guests choices. 

We will be sharing the planning process as we prepare for the wedding Friday, LIVE on CW23 at 8am - On Twitter, follow Team LP @lolapearlbakes and KC @kcyouthere!
