Here comes the bride........................................

Hello All,
How is everyone doing? Hope you are all well? Like we say every week, thank you all for stopping by. For those that feel the blog is getting boring sorry you feel that way, if you started this blog with us you will remember it is supposed to be twice a week thing but we try to update every week and we work as well.
The jewelry rant last week was for the traditional wear, you need to go see some pictures :) on some sites. Nothing much to say today, but as always thank you all and have a great week.

Love,
Gbemi & Molara



Vendor of the Week
Tosin Tewe of Edible Craft Inc.

Name Of Company
EdibleCraft Inc.

Why I went into cake making?
I started baking cake at age 14, I really started baking professonally in 1997 at Basildon UK.
I had just had my first baby and was a stay at home mom,(was trained as a professional accountant but had to leave my job to take care of my baby), so I deciced to turn my hobby into a profession. I took some culinary and sugarcraft couses at Squires Kitchen, Surrey England and started my cake making business out of my kitchen in 1999.
In 2000, I & 2 staff moved to a store location at Basildon ,where we served the local bakery shoppers oven fresh cakes and pastries daily. This we did till 2004 when we sold the bakery due to relocation with my family to Atlanta,USA.
Once in GA, I took some additional sugarcraft courses to brush up my skills at the Int'l school of SugarCraft Norcross GA,(owned by world renowed sugar artist-Mr Nicholas Lodge) . In 2005,I got EdibleCraft registered and started baking for the public once again.
In effect,I've been doing cakes professionally for 10 years now.

Location
EdibleCraft is presently located in Auburn GA and hopefuly our larger bakery facility will be opened in Lawrenceville GA before the end of first qtr 2008.

RANTS OF THE WEEK



1. Really ladies let us talk, what is the big deal about throwing the bouquet. Why is it when they call single girls even those of you that dont have men still act like you do. Even when you see the bride calling you and looking sad you still refuse.

2. We blogged about this before but we have to say it again cos it is getting soooooo out of hand, please talk to your parents about the chairman they pick for your wedding. We understand that some like to use their big friends but come on - they dont have to bore the crowd, take your own wedding personal or start making a show out of the job.

3. Brides this is for you - braids used to be forbidden for the bride but now more and more brides are braiding their hair and it is beautiful. Please brides before you bride, weave, fix weave on or just style the hair please try to retouch a week in advance at least. UNDERGROWTH is not cute.

P.S What do you feel about our new rant picture :)


QUESTION OF THE WEEK
A bride is not allowed/expected to speak at wedding reception (even though some do), is there a reason why?

Yipee!!!!!! I am the first one to comment ... Ok Gbems & Mollie Mols, I know the new year has been a bit hectic for all of us, however i must say, I still have much love ... I haven't been on much myself, finishing up my final MBA class (chei!! that is what I am supposed to be doing now, abeg I am on break) ...

Ok so I am so loving Dami & Toyin's wedding pics, 2 words, Chic and C'est Avant Garde. Not ur typical aso oke runs, loving the peacock colors and the very uptown chic brown and tiffany blue wedding colors and decor. And
the dance floor- Brilliant ... Kudos to ma familia, love u Molara, u did awesome ...

As for d Rants, I really feel y'all on these ... Ladies, get ur single heinies up and fight for that bouquet. Fronting is the reason y most of y'all are still single (just kidding o!!) but for real though, get up and catch the bouquet, let that be ur seed of faith and fashe men, brodas r actually checkn u out, as long as u don't get catty and start pulling someone's hair out and scratching their face for d bouquet... Y'all know who u are, u got ur bouquet collection hanging on ur walls ...

And Mr. Chairman who is soo dry, please just give the sound guys d eye to cut the mic and blast the music lodly ... U don't need that ... I say if you could, just get a close friend who knows you both to come and officiate ur day. They always have better jokes and more original stories to tell>

And Wedding Vogue u will not understand how much I battled on ur 3rd rant for my wedding. I wore my hair natural for most of the year and could not decide whether braids or a weave. We were going on our honey moon immediately after and I could just imagine sweating out my hair and looking a hot mess by day 2, so I went with a weave that I have always worn my hair in. I was familiar with the hair style and could manipulate in whichever way I wanted and could redo it myself if need be. So consider that ...

Ok break is over o, I have to go and finish my paper ... I will check in during the week to see what y'all got to say ...

Bye

Loved the wedding deco especially the small gold disco balls....oh the that rant picture is one in town...lol
Have a blessed week x x x

AJ said...

Yeah ladies, I love the new curazee mascot for the rants, can we get a wedding gown and veil on that man, woman, sheman or incredible hulk. (LOL) ...
The question of the week still has me for a loop ... I have never heard of that and I pray that people don't actually think like that .. for goodness sake it is "OUR" wedding and "OUR" being the operative word ... shuo!!!! well sha let us pray this is just some people's thoughts and not there actually belief...

yeahhhh- she didnt kneel!!they look so happy -dami and toyin. The edible cakes owner's story is inspirational- shows we should never be scared to start small!!! please whats dami and toyin's website?

Toni Payne said...

hey yall, u guys should have a directory of halls and maybe rate them.. that would be very very helpful

Anonymous said...

Jibola - she didn't kneel when?

Even if she did not kneel while 'feeding the groom', i am sure she kenlt when for him at the engagement o... or she shouldn't have knelt there either... then no need for an engagement, you can't have one without the ooootherr...

I guess why they never allow the bride to talk is .....she might say the wrong thing. you feel me right.

thanks to everyone who made a kind comment!! Molara did a truly wonderful job, not minding the fact that the decor ordered didnt make it to Nigeria in time for the wedding. Gbemi was also very helpful and I'm truly glad i know them both!

I plan on speaking at my wedding! I don't care what the rules say. Abeg I have to thank my parents for forking over all that dough. Till then anyway

Anonymous said...

there are no rules about the speaking thing!!
if the bride,her groom and her folks or whover is paying are cool,then its all jiggy
please believe there are no hard or fast rules with wedding receptions!!
thanks for highlighting this... the pity is if u discover you have a groom who actually says-"why do you want to talk?"
know that that one na real shelele...

Saymama said...

Molara, fantastic job. I've never seen Unilag hall so beautifully transformed.

Grrrreat job girl!

Howdy, I do believe your blog may be having browser compatibility problems.
When I take a look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however, when opening
in I.E., it's got some overlapping issues. I just wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, wonderful blog!
