Mini Spotted Cakes
To whip up these tiny treats for your reception, bridal shower, or engagement party, simply slice a sheet cake using variously sized biscuit cutters. Level the tops of the cut circles with a serrated knife and decorate with fondant dots and pearl dragées (secured with royal icing). Or, sprinkle on nonpareils by lightly brushing cake top with water and using a piece of vellum with circles punched out as a stencil.

Spotted Stationery
We collaborated with Los Angeles-based stationer Sugar Paper to design this "XO Marks the Spot" suite. A round save-the-date card asks recipients to "Circle the Date," while a letterpressed invite on blush paper pops out from behind a rose-gold-and-pink overlay.
