Baker-iffic Registry Must-Haves and a Target Giveaway!

I've got weddings (and giveaways) on the brain. Between the kids "helping" me sketch my client's dessert table and lots of new client consultations, I'm in the wedding frame of mind and reminiscing on my own engagement and the fun Darren and I had registering at Target. I've teamed up with the Target Wedding crew to share my must-have registry picks. Even better than my great finds, one of you may win a $25 Target e-giftcard to score your own goodies. Keep reading to get the info to enter to win.

A handheld KitchenAid hand mixer in a berry-licious hue is a perfect companion for colorful measuring spoons. Is there any cuter place to stash homemade cookies than a charming little cat cookie jar? I think not. This white ceramic Threshold cake stand and this vibrant Threshold stoneware pie plate are both great for displaying your sweet creations in style.

Of course, you need bakeware and appliances to whip up dessert-laden intimate dinners for your new better half. And friends will undoubtedly want to come over for lots of fun little parties. Roll up your sleeves and get to baking! 

What items do you think every newlywed couple must have? Your two cents could be worth $25! Swing by Target Wedding Registry, pick an item you love, and share the link here in the comments to enter to win a Target e-giftcard. I'll announce the winner here Monday, February 17th. Good luck!

Free Printable Dessert Labels + Target Wedding

I basically live in Target, so in my book the Target Wedding Registry is a wedding must-do. Whenever a friend registers there for their wedding, I know I can find something on their list that I'm jazzed to give. Of course, my dessert table designer background factors plays heavily into what I choose. I think Target's "Be Yourself, Together" concept makes perfect sense, since couples usually register for things that blend their styles to start their new life together.

The crew at Target Weddings asked me to pick a few items that I think are essential for wedding registries. I found a ton of things as I strolled around the store. I finally settled on this foxy wooden tray to add a fun DIY to give the couple.

I came up with a dessert-centric DIY that would be a fun addition to the gift. I loved these Lia Griffith labels, and I whipped up these more casual ones for everyday entertaining.

As the newlyweds have a housewarming, invite friends over, and host holiday parties, this bad boy is going to get plenty of use. And, anytime you have lots of guests, you'll have several food sensitivities to consider. Help the couple give their guests the hint about each dessert's contents (Hey, I think that rhymed!) with these witty little labels. Simply print them out, put them in a nice little bag, and give them along with this foxy Threshold tray.

Don't forget to also check out these other registry must-haves:
1) Nate Berkus faceted platter (This is amazing in gold! Imagine how good sweets would look on this.)
2) Threshold Acacia tiered stand
3) Kitchenaid 5-speed hand mixer (Boysenberry and Flamingo are fab!)
4) Anchor Hocking glass jar (Perfect for cookies and candy.)
5) Threshold cocktail decanter

Procrastinators Rejoice: Holiday Cards from Pinhole Press

Every year, I scramble to mail out holiday cards after juggling work, home, and everything else that consumes my day. Thankfully, this year the crew at Pinhole Press has invited me to try out their holiday cards. Even better, if you order your cards, and enter sweet tooth at checkout, you'll receive a 33% discount on your order (use code: sweettooth at checkout). And, you can still get them by Christmas. Crazy, right? 

I ordered those. Hello, candy striped back! I'm even saving myself a trip to the store, because it's -1000 degrees here, by ordering a personalized memory game as a gift for the kids. I added pics of the kids, their friends, our family, and of course some sweet desserts I made this year to the deck. The girls will love playing with their new memory game Christmas morning.

For procrastinators and perpetually busy people like me, Pinhole Press' general holiday cards are a godsend. Here are a few other designs that won't corner you into a Dec 25th deadline. 

Seriously, 33% off your order (use the code: sweettooth) is worth putting your procrastination on hold. Don't wait another minute. Go now!
