I get a lot of emails from aspiring dessert table designers with pictures of their creations. This is the second one that I am posting from Sharnel Dollar of My Life My Loves from Brisbane, Australia. She created a pinwheel-inspired dessert table for her young son’s birthday party and it is just too lovely not to share! I love the use of the wooden crate boxes, the play on the pinwheel theme, and the color palette. With my inbox often flooded with pictures of dessert tables from people all over the world, I am thrilled to see that Sharnel just gets it! Maybe I should start a regular column on my updated blog of featured dessert tables. Would you all like that? I could give constructive criticism for those who need it in those features since I can’t personally get back to everyone’s emails. What do you think? Anyway, Sharnel, no advice for you except to keep doing what you are doing! Fab job!
Amy,
What can I say? I'm absolutely flattered by your kind words. Really, you have no idea how I'm feeling right now.
I truly love creating these dessert tables and getting this feedback from the "other Martha" is just overwhelming.
Thank you again, you've made one Mum in Australia very happy indeed.

Sharnel, your table is beautiful! I love the colors and all the details. I made my first dessert table recently (photos on my blog) but I still have a long way to go to get all the details down.
Amy, I think your idea is fantastic. I'm sure many aspiring dessert table designers would love the feedback from you. I'm following you religiously on Twitter and your sites. Thanks for all you do and share.
Wow Sharnel! Very whimsical! Love the color scheme and the colors. The arrangement is perfect. The green apples are a great touch.
Amy: This is a lovely gesture and thank you for featuring Sharnel's work. I think a blog post on occassion featuring your admirer's work is a lovely idea.You are so talented and amazing. I love your work! Keep the pictures coming. So inspiring!
So simple and so beautiful!
Cute designs. So bright and colorful. I love your idea of a dessert table highlight blog with constructive criticism. I'm not a tablescape designer but I'd still love something like that, I'd read it daily.
Amy,
I enjoy each photo of your dessert designs, and would love to see more! As a party planner, I've created a few myself, but would love suggestions! How do you begin your design process? I'd like to know what it is that 'gets you going'! Is it a color, or an object that sets you in motion? Please share and keep up the great postings!
Your table is awesome! Did you make the cake and cookies? They look fabulous.
Hi Amy, this so beautiful, love the colors. Thank you for introducing Sharnel.

I love MLML and this party was just beautiful- no detail left out! A friend of mine is planning her son's first birthday so I e-mailed her the pictures immediately…turns out she was already drooling over them herself!
Simply gorgeous! And yes, Amy, more of these features would be fantastic!
Sharnel is amazing! I had to post immediately when I saw her latest party! Every detail is so perfect! Amy, you are such an inspiration to so many! Thank you for sharing your work & ideas, here on your blog!
Yes~ I think it would be fantastic! Everyone can use a little constructive criticism~ especially coming from you Amy!

This is a beautiful table, and Amy I think it's a great idea to feature the work of others and give them your feedback on how to make it better.
I love this table. Great job! I would love to see more.
Such a beautiful party. I love your work.
Te quedo bella esta mesa. Felicidades.
Me encantan tus trabajos.
wow!!! how gorgeous! what a lovely job she did!
I'd love to see worthwhile designs, as well as your take on them–what makes them succesful, where they could improve. This would really helpful for my own fledgling efforts.
Thanks for your blog–

I would love a column with some feedback. And things like tips for photographing indoor tables would be a huge help for me! Sometimes I'm really proud of a table, but for the life of me I can't get the photos to show it off properly.
Fabulous idea. It's great to see what can be done with different budgets and how we can all improve. Very generous of you and I'm really looking forward to it. LOVED Sharnel's table.
Wasn't that dessert table great?!
I think an ongoing dessert table feature is a great idea!
Looks great! I like how she used the gift wrapped box as a holder for the caramel popcorn. Very creative!
i think a column to critique others tables is a GREAT idea! Now if you would just let people shadow you on the job…
This is a beautiful table – what lucky kids! I can never get enough of Amy's pictures… I love the idea of a blog section with others' tables.
Uh-oh, Amy!
Hope it's not too much more work to add extras to your blog, but we are all just DYING to learn more, see more and be more inspired!
Looks like you got more than you asked for!
thanks for sharing!
Hi Amy – I love Sharnel's work as well and I follow both her blog and yours and you have both inspired me to attempt the dessert table for my daughters 4th birthday party in March – I think your idea of guest dessert tables would be fantastic. Thanks again. Leanne in Australia
I agree, this was a beautiful party.
I think the idea is fantastic. I would love to see your advice!
Thanks for sharing this very cool pinwheel party. It would be awesome if you share some of the other parties and tables that get sent your way!
Wow! This is amazing! I love how everything co-ordinates and matches so perfectly! The color combo is perfect too!
For a while now i am following your and Sharnel`s blog, and I LOVE IT, i get so happy and inspired by all your creations.
