This past weekend my bestie Heather threw her Mom a rockin’ sock hop for her 60th birthday. I was on cake duty and it was my honor. Hummmm sock hop dessert…what to do…what to do? After a little Pinterest surfing, how about a checker board cake and fountain soda cupcakes? check and check!
They sure were delish!

Found this checker board cake pan at Michael’s and I was a little nervous about it but it worked like a charm!



The results were pretty awesome! My check board was not as straight as the picture on the box but I think with time I might be in high demand for checker boards!

Up next…fountian soda cupcakes




What a sock hop without root beer floats and my girl got me diet root beer? I was in heaven! Thanks again pal!


Hi, I’m Tiff!
I’m the photographer behind Appletini Photography, a portrait studio based in Yardley, PA, serving families and businesses across Bucks County. For more than a decade, I’ve had the joy of capturing heartfelt images — from newborn photography and family portraits to professional headshots and branding photography. My goal is always the same: to create photographs that feel authentic, joyful, and worth holding onto for generations.
Over the years I’ve photographed thousands of moments for families throughout Yardley, Morrisville, and the surrounding Bucks County community, helping parents preserve the fleeting stages of childhood and the connections that make their family unique. I believe a photograph never grows up — and that the images we create today become tomorrow’s heirlooms.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m wearing one of my many hats: wife, mom, cat mom, aunt, best friend, and enthusiastic coffee drinker. I’m usually planning a themed party, crafting something creative, traveling somewhere new, getting lost in a good book, or laughing until my cheeks hurt.
Through this blog, I love sharing photography tips, local Bucks County family resources, behind-the-scenes stories from sessions, and inspiration for families preparing for portraits. I’m so glad you’re here.
… They did ROCK some sox! But they are here staring me down this morning… Oh, amazingly awesome cake for breakfast? Decisions, decisions….
Thanks again girl!!! You were the best girl for the job!!!
