June 2012 Archive

Originally founded as Lovely Confections, an award-winning Denver bakery for Best of Westword (2008-2011) and Denver’s A-List (2008-2010), owner Porche Lovely set out to start something different, and re-branded and re-launched the company as Church of Cupcakes on May 31, 2012.

With it’s edge and ironic humor, Church of Cupcakes is a fresh approach to the standard cupcake shop, entertaining the consumer with cheeky in-shop games, retail items and – of course – a fabulously heaven-sent menu selection.

Check out their 10 Commandment of Cupcakes and their fabulous new menu – their Daily Prayers!

This is a very fun and unique photo shoot, the idea behind it was a paper doll using all the ingredients of a wedding style shoot. The whole shoot was done on the ground and photographs were taken from above. For more details and a video visit Kokoro Photography’s blog!

To introduce this idea we first need to give a shout-out to our sister StudioWed in Atlanta for coming up with this idea. The concept is that each Saturday we will post a cocktail recipe featuring one of the liquors currently on special at Davidsons Liquors (for all current specials click the link). These recipes can be used as your signature wedding cocktail, bachelorette or bachelor party drinks, bridal shower drinks or a recipe that you want to use for anytime a cocktail is called for! If you have a different recipe using our featured liquor please share it, we would love to hear about it!

This week’s featured liquor is Three Olives Vodka and we couldn’t think of a better cocktail to start of our wedding drinks!

The French Kiss

* 2 oz. Three Olives Grape Vodka

* 1 oz. Three Olives Vanilla Vodka
