Happy Memorial Day!
I’m loving this flag cupcake from Martha Stewart for a Memorial Day barbeque. If you don’t have time to bake today, you can pick up vanilla {or any flavor cupcakes} from your local supermarket or bakery and dress up with licorice lace stripes and piped blue buttercream stars. Speaking of Martha Stewart, we’re featured on Martha Stewart Weddings today so be sure to stop by. We’ll be back on Martha Stewart Weddings on Friday…

Guest Dessert Table Feature from South Africa
This guest dessert table comes all the way from Durban, South Africa. Zalita of Cupcake D’Lights sent us pictures of a recent dessert table for a young girl’s princess birthday party. Zalita makes cupcakes but was inspired by us to try out a dessert table. The wrapped lollipops are SUPER cute. Dressing up lollipops with tissue paper is an inexpensive and easy way to instantly dress up pops. The Zoe banner is also really…

I Heart Madeline Weinrib
Have I ever told you all what a huge design crush I have on Madeline Weinrib? From chevron patterns to mandalas to brocades, Madeline Weinrib has rocked a variety of designs. She also nails interesting color palettes all the time. Madeline is widely known in the home design world, but her products can be easily used to decorate an event as well. We’re designing a dinner party and we’re using lots of Madeline Weinrib pillows…

Circus Guest Dessert Table Feature
All photographs by Logan of Zuma Photo.
Culinary Crafts in Utah sent over some pictures of a circus themed dessert table they created for a recent birthday party. It looks like the buzz of our dessert bar trend has hit the beehive state!
Culinary Crafts took inspiration from our old fashioned candy bar here. I love how Culinary Crafts made a circus design still look fresh and not too commercial. Some of my favorite…

SplitCoastStampers Amy Atlas Challenge
I saw this over the weekend and immediately knew I had to share it with you. Splitcoaststampers held a card making contest based on our designs. For those who don’t know, Splitcoaststampers is a web-based community for crafters who love card making, rubber stamping, and scrapbooking. Splitcoast Challenge Hostess Smilyn Stef challenged her fellow crafters to use any of our designs in a card making contest {I’m so flattered Stef!}
These were all created the…

County Fair Guest Dessert Table Feature
I’m loving this “county fair” take on a dessert table from Anneliese of Aesthetic Nest. Anneliese created this party for her daughter and niece’s 4th birthday party. This party is very sweet for a kids party, but can also be elevated to an adult party as well. My fave details are the bandana quilt tablecloth, the adorable coordinated outfits, and the orange preserve jars made with fabric from here. Check out the diy for the…

Parisian Inspired Guest Dessert Table
How sweet is this Parisian inspired dessert table from Melissa and Kellie of Icing Designs for Melissa’s twins birthday party? This party has that certain je ne sais qua, right? I love the rosette lollipop topiaries {check out the diy here}, the crepe paper crackers, and that darling Bon Appetit menu. I’m sure everyone was saying “ooh la la” at this party. Merci, merci for sharing!

Guest Dessert Table Feature
Today’s guest dessert table feature is a kid’s dessert table from Lindsey of Bella Grace Designs. Lindsey created an all pink party ala Pinkalicious for her daughter Alyssa’s birthday, which Lindsey said was inspired by us. Lindsey used oversized balloons like we often use for a focal point for her table. The cake is really sweet and simple and the dessert table is the appropriate size for a kid’s birthday party. I also love how…
