WellWed in the Hamptons

A self-taught chef, Miche Bacher has always been attracted to the culinary arts. Her love of food grew into Sacred Sweets, and for this self-proclaimed "nurturer" it was a natural transition.

For eight years, Sacred Sweets has carried on that tradition through its commitment to producing the highest quality baked goods, "using the best ingredients, especially local and organic ones." The results are positively scrumptious.

Bacher has also added "charitable favors" to her repertoire. A portion of the proceeds from each delectable favor is donated to a charity of the bride and groom's choice. Bacher notes that these charitable favors "offer us all a way to give something back, [allowing the couple] the opportunity to share an intimate piece of their lives with their guests."

Bacher urges brides-to-be to make sure the professionals you work with not only inspire you, but listen to you, also. It's all about making it personal. "Don't think about the cake, dessert, or favor in isolation," she says. "Rather, consider it as part of the whole. Let the dessert say something about you, whether it is a favorite dessert flavor, or something your family has eaten forever, or one that has a design element that is yours alone-let it be about you!"
