Day 4…healing breathwork. This was an amazing exercise to help release stored emotion. I felt so much lighter after. Thanks to for bringing us together and to Suzy Perry for facilitating this beautiful breathwork session.

Day 3…the power of the feminine in leadership…this session upended everything I’ve ever been taught about business and running one. Learning to let all of that go and lean into heart centered leadership. Thank you for sooo many helpful nuggets of wisdom.

Day 2…another amazing session lead by
So many takeaways but the biggest for me is learning to “be” versus “doing” within a romantic relationship. Learning to feel worthy enough in your being and realizing that when you’re “doing” it’s because you don’t feel like you’re enough in the context of a romantic relationship. Eye opener. Thank you, Mel.

Amazing day 1 session with an incredible tribe of women lead by
There were so many take aways from today’s session but the one that hit the hardest was “he’s not intimidated by you. He’s repelled by your energy.” Ouch. Learning to understand masculine and feminine energies and how I have been operating in the masculine for so long and I Cannot wait to learn more about balancing these energies. Thanks, Mel! ❤️❤️

You all…the most perfect day for a wedding at Tucker’s Gap in Lebanon today. But the BEST part is getting to work with such a sweet family! Congrats to Alyson & Austin!

Their wedding cake is 4 tiers of lemon lavender blueberry cake with lemon buttercream filling. And, Alyson surprised her groom with a cake that incorporated his favorite childhood book, “the giving tree”. The groom’s cake is 3 tiers of dark chocolate bacon cake with dulce de leche filling.

And the Bride’s lovely Mama, Tracy, was an absolute joy to work with and I’m so grateful to have met and become friends with them all. ❤️

How about a Mac attack??? The Bride & Groom chose to have cookies & cream macarons and vanilla macarons on their dessert bar. If you’re looking for an alternative to wedding cake, can help with a custom dessert bar.

Since carrot cake cake pops contain grated carrots, this counts as a serving of vegetables, right??

A special shout out to a repeat client I lovingly call Mama Deb. She and her family are celebrating the 1st wedding anniversary of her daughter’s, Sarah, marriage to Sam last September. She sweetly ordered 2 cakes to reflect the champagne wedding cake and chocolate bourbon cake the couple shared on their wedding day. Just love her and her kind heart. What a sweet family. I am so blessed to get to know folks and honored to work with them again. ❤️ happy anniversary you crazy kids.

It was a perfect day for a wedding yesterday! The lovely Bride, Shea, chose a dessert bar so there’s a little something for everyone.

If you’re looking for an addition or an alternative to wedding cake, EastLeigh Desserts can create a dessert bar for you.
