Jewelry Inspired Guest Dessert Feature

Finally, the fifth and last guest feature of the day…Melissa and Kellie of Icing Designs sent over this fanciful dessert bar that they created for a Stella and Dot jewelry party.  I’m a girly-girl gal who loves both jewelry and desserts so this jewelry dessert combo is pure bliss for me.  This reminds me a little bit of the jewelry dessert feature I worked on for Town and Country Magazine.  I’m smitten with how…

Airplane Guest Dessert Feature

Wow, there have been some great features up today, right?  This kid-friendly dessert feature from Jordan of Polka Dot Prints in Australia is another adorable take on a fly away party.  Jordan said she was inspired by my own son’s birthday party here.  I adore the white chocolate cloud “fly” lollipop sticks, the airplane cake {notice – simple waffle cones and m & m’s are used to decorate the cake}, the milk cartons, and the…

Damask Guest Dessert Feature

This elegant guest feature is from Sandra of Sandra Downie Events.  Sandra emailed me to tell me that she was inspired by our work when she created this beautiful black, white and green damask dessert bar for a recent wedding. What I really love about this table is the bold color palette.  The lime and chartreuse against the black and white damask makes a big statement.  I also love the damask curtains, which anchor…

Floral Guest Dessert Feature

I’m up to the second guest feature of the day.  This drop dead gorgeous display is from Allyson and Sarah of Bobbette and Belle from Canada.  Bobbette and Belle first came on my radar last year when the owners Allyson and Sarah sent me pictures of their gorgeous macaron towers.  This display was created for a fundraiser for the NICU and the Avery Goldman Fund at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.  This stunning home provided a…

Behind the Scenes at Amy Atlas Events – Prepping for Nautical Event

By: Amy, in Behind The Scenes
I’m back with another behind the scenes at Amy Atlas Events.  If you saw our posts here and here, then you know we have been working on a nautical-inspired dessert table for a special client.  This event took place at the American Yacht Club in Rye, NY.  It could not have been a more beautiful weekend for an event.  The idyllic view of the Long Island Sound filled with yachts set the tone for…

Circus Guest Dessert Feature

How cute is this circus guest dessert table created by Leanne of Mrs. A in the Cove blog from Australia?  I get a lot of circus submissions, but this one was executed beautifully.  I love the circus tent cupcakes, the mini doughnuts, and the small jars of strawberry milk.  Leanne did a few things right here.  First, she created a nice balance of varying heights on her table.  She also left area on the…

Guest Dessert Feature

Naomi from Hello Naomi in Australia sent over exclusive pictures of her most recent work. If you missed it a few weeks ago, I featured Naomi’s gorgeous cakes and cookies a few weeks ago here. This time, Naomi created a chic super hero party for a little boy. Yes, that is an oxymoron but if there ever were a chic superhero party, this is it!  Executing a superhero party without it looking too commercial…

Colorful Circus Elephant Guest Feature

It is rainy in NYC today so I thought I’d share a colorful party that will lift up anyone’s gloomy mood. Kelly of the The Well Heeled Hostess recently sent over pictures of this adorable kids elephant circus party that she created for a set of 4 year old twins. The twins love the circus so Kelly created a colorful elephant parade candy table. I think any kid would have wanted a ticket to…
