Flour · ish

I had the honor of standing by my dear sister Helen on her wedding day, as well as making her wedding cake and favors. It was truly a joy to show them my love & support through baking. Congratulations Helen & Daniel!


For favors, Helen wanted to give her guests red velvet cookies. It was my most large-scale baking project, but it was actually completely stress-free and joyful with the help of other sisters. We packaged them in these cute bags (that I have 800 of at home...holla if you want some).
