Carly's Custom Cakes!

A few months while planning my 27th Birthday party I decided I wanted to go all out!We found a venue, costumes and invited all our friends and family to the Roller Disco! While planning the finishing touches I came across Carly's Custom Cakes on facebook and fell in love with all her creations! I call them creations and not cakes because that is what they are. To simply call it a cake does not give it justice.


With an array of photos to look at I knew she had to make my Birthday cake creation. I wrote Carly to start the creative process and she took it from there! Carly from Carly's Custom Cakes is self taught and makes everything from scratch including the gumpaste characters that top the cakes.


After seeing my Birthday cake creation, a friend ordered for her son's 4th Birthday. I was excited to go to the Birthday party and see what she had created for the Mario Brothers themed party. All the guests were blown away and the kids were too!

Located in Arlington, WA Carly's Custom Cakes is a great local place to get creative for your next party, wedding or event. E-mail: carlyscakes@comcast.net

Diva 911's Rocker Fashion Show

With so many small businesses booming in Western Washington, what a better thing than to colaborate and help one another out!

Recently I had the opportunity to shoot Diva 911 of Lake Stevens, WA very first fashion show! This gem of a store in the heart of Lake Stevens has something for the Diva in us all. From the hottest trends in fashion to the best gifts for everyone, you can find it there.
Diva 911 is run by two sisters, Jackie Mitchell runs the Brick & Mortar Store in Lake Stevens,WA and Joanne Bisquera runs the on-line store out of Spokane, WA.

Becci from Surgz Event's and Promotions contacted Jackie about showcasing Diva 911 in the "Black" Rocker Diva Fashion Show. Quickly agreeing in excitement they started organizing this fun and new venture for Diva 911. Makeup done by Smashing Divas, Krystal Lechner and Aliyliyah Klein. Hair by Intermezzo Salon, Lauren Grinnell and Tanya Joseph-Rodriguez.

Belltown Billiards was the place to be that evening! Models buzzing around from hair to makeup added to the excitement of the show to come. Great venue for a unique fashion show, from the lighting to the dance floor runway, everyone who had a hand in creating this event did a great job.

Congratulations to all involved to pull this off and most importantly to the Diva Sisters Jackie and Joanne! Diva 911 is located at 9433 4th St NE Suite 103 Lake Stevens, WA 98258. If you haven't been in to this store you must go check it out and if you haven't been recently pop in and say hi!
