This is the view from the Ocean Terrace as sunset approaches. Pretty great, isn't it?

Our pastry chef, Lindsey, outdid herself on the cupcakes at Megan and Michael's wedding. Having cupcakes in lieu of a wedding cake is an idea that's been around for a few years, but this is because it's such a great idea. Who doesn't love a cupcake? And who doesn't love the opportunity to eat several cupcakes in a row when it's so easy to dance off all the calories right then and there? Of all the wedding cupcakes that I've ever had, these were my favorite, by far. First off, they were filled with lemon curd, so there was that delicious surprise in the first bite. But even better, as far as I'm concerned, was the icing. It was meringue, just like on the top of a lemon meringue pie. It was light, fluffy, and Lindsey browned it beautifully. Topped with a thin slice of lemon as decoration, this display was perfect. And the flowers tucked between the cupcakes on alternating tiers was the sweet, finishing touch.

What a great way to top off a wonderful wedding....with a sparkling getaway! This was the grand exit from Megan and Michael's wedding on November 14. A great time was had by all, and a special thanks go the band, Two 3 Ways, who were recently declared by The Knot as "Best Charleston Wedding Band" for 2009.

I recently had a client ask me how close the clubhouse is to the ocean. This photo shows it best. Pretty darn close.
