Our favorites from the Killeen Bridal Extravaganza...

Today we attended our first Bridal show in Killeen, sponsored by the Killeen Daily Herald.  We had a wonderful time and met some very nice folks.  Several brides from Lampasas and Copperas Cove were there, and it was great to meet them and their entourages.  As usual, we tasted some yummy food and cake and saw some beautiful work in the booths, so here are some recommendations based on what we tasted and observed.

Cakes:

Sweet Eats Bakery in Killeen
We tasted the orange, lemon, strawberry, and red velvet.  They were all delicious and the frosting was light and creamy, not heavy.  Yum!

Works of Art Cakes in Killeen
They take their cakes pretty seriously, and they are definitely artsy.  We tasted a white cake, very light and fluffy, with a nice buttercream frosting.  Fortunately, we shared, so we did not go into a sugar coma after trying so much cake.  :)

Wedding Planners and Designers:

R&M Smith Designs--Her decorations were tasteful and on trend.  Very well done.  You can see more of her work on her Facebook page.  She also handles rentals and catering.  Score!

Geri M. Schwartzman at Milestone Memories and Events.  Take a look at her website for some of her designs.

Hair:

Crave Hair Lounge--they will come out to the Manor to make sure you and all your bridesmaids look great!

Catering:

Sticky Bones BBQ & Catering--delicious.  Everything we tried, brisket, chicken, beans, even the broccoli salad was wonderful.

CJ's Catering in Georgetown--Wonderful food and the people are fantastic.  With over 30 years in the business, you won't be disappointed.
