Book Launch Party Recap & Photos

Tossing major confetti over here! We had an absolutely wonderful launch party here for Pizzazzerie: Entertain In Style in Nashville at Draper James! My book photographer Evin Krehbiel, my Mom who wrote the book with me, and everyone who had a hand in this book are so thankful for the support we received last week! We were blown away, in fact, to see new friends, old friends, and everything in between.

Thank you to all of those that came, hugged, laughed, and loved with us! We felt your enthusiasm throughout. There is nothing better than enjoying a warm summer night with sparkling brut rosé, chocolate, mini treats, and good friends. It’s evident that entertaining is a passion that I share with many of you, and I loved hearing your stories of how you plan to use this book in your own life.

Do you see this gorgeous cake that matches the cover of my book? Oh my heavens, it’s stunning. Lizzie Davis of Copper Whisk Cakes (who made Blakely’s birthday cake) walked in and whispered that there was something for me over on the counter after the signing. Hold up – I said – let me see! My jaw dropped when I saw this beautiful cake, created to match the cover. Thank you Lizzie, it’s as delicious as it is pretty!
