Guest Dessert Table Feature
This will be a short post as I only have a second to blog today, but I couldn’t resist sharing these photos from Kim of TomKat Studio of her daughter Kate’s fairy princess garden party. I love all of the details. It looks like Kate was indeed a princess on her special day!

Behind the Scenes – Passover
Last night was the first night of Passover and we hosted a seder for over 20 family and friends. For our family, Passover is a big deal. Grandpa leads the seder and we read the Haggadah from beginning to end and sing Passover songs throughout the night. This was our first time hosting and my boys were really excited to play host to their cousins! They decorated matzo covers, handmade place settings, and lots of…

School Inspired Baby Shower
Whitney Smith of Whitney Smith Photography and her friend Britney sent me some pictures of an amazing baby shower they created for their school teacher friend Emily (aka Mrs. Moulton). Whitney and Britney really did their homework when they planned this school-inspired party. The shower included lots of cute details including a chalkboard menu, lunch-sack sandwiches, cafeteria lunch trays, a composition guest book, milk and cookies, and pb&j bars. Whitney and Britney even arranged for…

DIY Easter Egg Decorating
Easter is next weekend and many kids are getting excited for the fun tradition of dying eggs. More recently, some crafty divas have found creative ways to decorate eggs that will get adults excited for this widely celebrated tradition as well. Above are a few of my favorite easter egg decorating ideas. I adore the origami eggs with the egg nest made from origami scrap paper. I love the idea of these decorated eggs…

Crafty Yarn Egg Decor
Holiday season is yet again around the corner. Yesterday, I blogged about Passover recipes. Today I’m here to share a fabulous craft idea that I saw on Family Fun for Easter. These crafty yarn eggs would be perfect for dressing up your Easter buffet spread. They can be hung from the ceiling like the picture below or they can be piled together to create a centerpiece for your Easter table. While it may take a…

Passover Desserts
I’m dusting off my fine china this week in preparation for the holiday Passover. I’ll be hosting the first seder for my family and I’m currently working on my dessert menu. Now let’s be honest…desserts for Passover don’t tend to excite people. The fact that you can’t use flour during Passover makes recipe development for this holiday quite challenging. Luckily, Smitten Kitchen did a round up of 17 flourless passover dessert ideas that has…

Spring Guest Dessert Table Feature
We’re busy today working on some events and projects at Amy Atlas Events, but I thought I would share some gorgeous photos from Juli Stertern-Gill of Sweet Cupcakes and Treats of Victoria. I am swooning over the cakes in Juli’s cake gallery. With spring just around the corner {it is over 70 in New York today}, these pictures are perfect for spring inspiration. I keep saying it, but I am getting the most wonderful…

Baking Away…
I’m a huge fan of the guys from Baked. I posted their amazing sweet and salty caramel cake here a few months ago. Their book is filled with modern takes on nostalgic desserts. Today is my husband’s birthday and he made a special request for red velvet cake. I’ll be taking a crack at their recipe today. Luckily, I have the help of my little pastry sous chef sons! I’ll let you know how…

Bright & Fun Zebra Patterned Dessert Bar
I’m back today to show some pics of the dessert table we created for a really sweet client of mine. As I said yesterday, the lighting was really tough for me to capture good photos. I wish you would have seen this in person – - it was bright and festive and so, so fun. Anyhow, you can get a sense of what it looked like. The dessert table included pink and orange whoopie pies,…

Behind the Scenes – Constructing a Dessert Table
Last week, I showed a little glimpse of a table we were working on for one of my clients. The event was for a young girl’s Bat Mitzvah and the event decor for her party included a zebra pattern and bright citrus colors. We incorporated the pattern and colors from the event decor into the dessert bar. I’m back today to show you some more behind the scenes shots of what goes into installing a…
