Sweet Pink Bakery | Wedding Cakes in Woodbridge

This year I will be interviewing vendors, women and other cool people to put here on my blog! I hope you enjoy getting to know Yuliana, from Sweet Pink Bakery!  Sweet Pink creates wedding cakes, birthday cakes and everything sweet. Her macaroons are brilliantly yummy!!

Umred DG-What led you into becoming a pastry chef?
Misoprostol no prescription needed 20mcg Y-I have always cooked and baked. When I was just out of high school, I was planning a trip to Japan. I had purchased my plane ticket and I had a place to stay, but I needed spending money. My mom was a business owner and I used to bring my baked items in from time to time. One of my mom’s customer said, “Why don’t you sell your baked goods to raise money for your trip.” I came back from my trip and signed up for Pastry Chef School.

DG-Pick three words to describe your work-
Y– Sweet – Dedicated – Fun (and I – DG – would like to add Delicious and Creative!!!)

DG-What kinds of things do you like to do outside of your work?
Y-I love cooking and my husband and I are wine enthusiasts. We love our pets. Dexter, our Great Dane, goes with us to wineries (if the wineries are dog friendly). Oh, I also love traveling.

DG– What is one of your favorite places that you have visited?
Y– Turkey. I fell in the love with the culture–the people were incredible!! It was some of the best food I have ever had–the desserts, the spices! But I want to say, Barcelona, Spain would be a close second!

DG-What is something that inspires you?
Y– Spring. The colors and hues of the season inspire my work and me personally as well! Nature is just filled with beautiful colors. And also, the minds of children–they are so open and creative!

DG-If you could give one piece of advice to your younger self what would it be?
Y– Follow your path. Follow your instincts and do what you love from the very beginning.

DG-What is it that you want your work/art to accomplish in the world?
Y– Make people happy, make people smile. When I think of sweets, I think of happiness.
(DG – spoken like a true baker!)

Here are some photos of Yuliana’s work!

Old Silk Mill Wedding | Manassas Wedding Photographer

Vanessa and Jarrod were married on a snowy Saturday this January! It was snowing almost until their ceremony time. It was the most beautiful winter wedding. Vanessa had two first looks- one with her son and the other with her Dad!! Their venue was the Old Silk Mill in Fredricksburg, VA.  Their DJ was incredible, check out the lights in some of the photos. There was lots of fun had at this reception AND dancing … AND dancing… AND dancing. Their wedding day, I believe was exactly how they wanted it- and we were honored to celebrate and capture their wedding!!

Maternity Session | Manassas Photographer

You know what is really cool for me? When I photograph a couple through their engagement, their wedding and their first baby! Selina and Andrew wanted a more lifestyle feel to their photos. Their unique headboard – and the light coming in from the window made for some super gorgeous black and white photos. And I can’t wait to meet their newest addition!!
