Canlis Restaurant’s Romantic Valentine’s Day Treat for the Troops

January 30, 2008 | editorial team

 Canlis Restaurant is legendary in Seattle, and has a reputation for excellence the world over. It is still run by the warm and welcoming Canlis family after nearly 60 years, and is an absolute treat to experience! I’ve been lucky enough to attend a few events at Canlis (including photographing a chic wedding in their Penthouse– fab!) and have loved every minute of my time there. Today I love Canlis even more after learning about their special Valentine’s Day mission. They are partnering with the American Legion to auction off a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner in their amazing tree-top private room, the Cache, and using the money to fly a local area soldier home to their spouse for a well deserved Valentine’s Day dinner of their own. Wow! How great is that? Bidding starts at $2000 and is open until February 11th. Call 206-283-3313 or visit www.Canlis.com. Looks like love is in the Seattle air. Thanks Canlis!

Wedding Cake, Wedding Cake, Wedding Cake!

January 28, 2008 | editorial team

Today’s post is all about one of my very favorite things…cake! It’s delicious, it’s beautiful, it warms your heart with just one bite, and it’s all I can think about, because today, well, it’s my birthday! Hooray! To celebrate, I will be staring endlessly at these stunning wedding cake creations and daydreaming about the glorious weddings that could be designed around each and every one. (And probably also about the yummy cupcakes I ate on Saturday, and which flavor of cake I will order tonight after dinner. Yum!) Enjoy this fabulous wedding cake inspiration, and have a fantastic January 28th!
