Best Coast Beer Fest

By, January 09, 2017

Spring is getting closer, which means it’s almost time for the Best Coast Beer Fest in Embarcadero Park! This festival takes place near our San Diego studio, and showcases over 200 varieties of beer and cider. There are nearly 100 West Coast craft breweries represented, with beautiful views of the surrounding bayfront and Downtown San Diego. During the event, attendees can mingle with local brewers, sample craft brews, and browse merchandise from artisan vendors. Participants can also grab a bite at Food Truck Alley, relax in the sun, or burn off calories at a lawn game nearby. 

This year’s festival takes place on Saturday, March 11th, 2017, with General Admission from 2-5pm, and live performances throughout the day. The event benefits Cancer for College, which was founded by two-time cancer survivor and double amputee Craig Pollard. Craig’s charity has provided nearly $2 million in scholarships to over a thousand people around the country! So while enjoying a tasty craft brew, you can also be helping others :)

Below are some highlights we photographed from last year’s event. If you would like to attend this year, please click here to buy your tix. Cheers!

A Sweet Surprise | Groom’s Cake Inspiration Board

By, August 13, 2013

Between the delicate florals, sparkling jewelry, and flowing gown, a wedding can be a very bride-centric day. Fortunately, there is a rediscovered wedding tradition that pays tribute to the man of the night – a groom’s cake!

The custom of a groom’s cake can be traced back to England’s Victorian Era. During a Victorian wedding, separate cakes were served for the wedding guests, bridesmaids, and groomsmen. The groom’s cake, typically a rich, dark fruitcake with no icing, was often boxed up for guests to take home at the end of the night. According to legend, a single woman who slept with a slice of groom’s cake under her pillow would dream about her future husband that night!

All fables aside, a groom’s cake remains a very fun and relevant tradition. These days, groom’s cakes are typically designed in a way to showcase the groom’s favorite hobbies or interests, and are available in every flavor imaginable. If it fits within the dessert budget, we think a groom’s cake is a sweet way to celebrate the man of honor!

Below are some favorite groom’s cakes we’ve captured at recent weddings. Sports cakes are a popular option, and we can’t stop talking about the SPAM cake! What’s the most creative or unusual groom’s cake you’ve seen?
