Every Easter since I can remember, my Grandma always made a Bird’s Nest Cake for dessert. For the first Easter in a long time I’m without family for the holiday and was feeling a little nostalgic, so I decided to pay homage to my Grandma and whip up some mini Bird’s Nest Cakes similar to her recipe.
Having recently acquired a doughnut pan on amazon.com during a bout of insomnia induced online shopping, I decided to put my purchase to good use and bake my mini "nests" with the new pan. I used devil's food cake mix for the cakes. Once cooled, I frosted them with homemade chocolate ganache frosting (yummy!), sprinkled the ganache covered cake with the green colored colored coconut "grass", and topped with Cadburry Mini Chocolate Eggs to complete the look. I think they They turned out super cute and I can't wait to share them with my guests tonight.
Happy Easter to you and yours!

Meet Zayda. With legs that go for miles, and an impossibly tiny waist, this girl belongs on the runway! Just months ago she turned 19 and headed off to school begin her new life as a college student. Before she left town she had her first photoshoot with me to try her hand at modeling and start to build a portfolio for herself. It was fun to watch her confidence grow throughout our session and it’s clear to see that her beauty shines through in each image we created. I am so excited to see what the future holds for her. Somebody get this girl and agent!

This is my favorite photo from Autumn and Chris’s Maui wedding in 2011. It was so much fun shooting a destination wedding and I am looking forward to more this year. Can’t wait!
