Kathy Ireland Festival of Brides

A day with Celebrity Kathy Ireland and her team who are finding solutions for people in love was just what the Doctor ordered. (Now if she could just find a solution for Husband who has lost me to the Blog).  If the Devil Wears Prada, this angel wears herself…she is just as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. The show was greeted with thunderous applause as Kathy Ireland showcased her new bridal line including gorgeous wedding gowns, mother of the bride collection and Special Occasion Dresses at the beautiful Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, Ca. It’s the place to plan all the details for your Special Day including Caterers, photographers, floral designers and videographers.  Mary Anne Bradley, whose bubbly personality is only matched by her Swarovski Crystal shoes, is Owner and Producer of The Festival of Brides.  Chef Andre Carthen, Kathy’s Worldwide Design Ambassador, is simply the coolest Celeb Chef on the planet. Both personal Chef to Kathy Ireland and Janet Jackson, the man can cook as good as he looks ladies! Though pouring cats and dogs outside, champagne was flowing and music was thumping inside at the fashion show. And the cakes…well, watch the video and drool on your computer screen.  Hansen’s Cakes, with seven generations of baking finesse blended with raw talent, make them the best place for the most beautiful cakes in Los Angeles. All of the designs are made from fresh, delicious butter creme frosting (not fondant) just like Grandma used to make.  From simple florals to elaborate sculptures, traditional to spectacular, they do it all…deliciously. Wow! I got to have my cake and eat it too! Any time you can include me in an event that has free Champagne and Wedding cake…count me in!

About thefoodstalker

With an Italian background, she cites her Mother and grandmother ( Mamie ) as the major influence of her love for food.  Yes, homemade pasta hung from the clothesline in the kitchen and rolling 100 meat balls for a holiday dinner was the norm.  Raised in Pennsylvania. she spent time in Atlanta, Georgia and ultimately settled along the stunning coast of Laguna Beach, Ca. Self taught in everything, she learned to appreciate the amazing flavors, scents and uses for exotic herbs and spices and applies her knowledge to cooking today. Despite enjoying other creative endeavors like painting, photography and clothing design, she realized she would never love another career the way she loves all the stories surrounding food.  And it's capturing those stories that has not only become her greatest passion but a culinary drug worth passing around!  After all, food is a shared experience and no one better to share it with than the entire world. And thus the Food Stalker was born, utilizing all that passion and her fearlessness to capture even the most impossible stories. It's one thing to write about food, but far more exciting to actually capture it and all those stories that make every scent come to life.  And once she sets out, there's no stopping her, because no one follows that scent better than her---and no telling where she'll end up next.
