Polka Dot Guest Dessert Feature
I’m finally back for the last guest dessert feature of the day. This one comes from Leoni of Just Call Me Martha in Australia. Leoni is not a professional baker or party planner but managed to create this great display from scratch with the help of her 4 daughters after planning it for several months! The dessert bar was for her eldest daughter’s 10th birthday. This polka dot sweets spread included a 2 tier…

Luau Guest Dessert Feature
Glory of Glorious Treats sent over pictures of this Luau sweets spread that she created for a friend. Keeping with the hospitable Hawaiian spirit, Glory created a table with a very inviting color palette. Glory included adorable pineapple {a symbol for hospitality}, hibiscus {Glory posted the recipe here}, and aloha cookies. Glory also baked off some pina colada cupcakes {recipe here} and Hawaiian snowballs. I love the use of the tiger lillies and banana…

Ballerina Guest Dessert Feature
Tati of Construindolacos in Brazil sent over this sweet Ballerina dessert favor bar that she created for her daughter. I’ve wanted to feature a dessert bar from Brazil for a while now. I get the most fan emails from Brazil and wanted to show a little love back! When I saw Tati’s table, I thought it would be a perfect one to represent her country. What I love so much about this table is…

Summery Green Guest Dessert Bar Feature
Susana of Citrus and Orange in Portugal sent over these gorgeous photos of her first dessert bar. I’m so glad that our trend has made its way to Portugal! Susana created this eye candy for her daughter Carlota’s birthday. Susana told us she was inspired by our work for her first stab at a dessert bar.

Alice in Wonderland Guest Dessert Feature
I’m back with my 3rd guest feature of the day! This one comes from Kasey Buick, who created a beautiful Alice in Wonderful dessert spread for her daughter’s 8th birthday. I get A LOT of Alice in Wonderland submissions, but this one stood out from the rest. I love the layered vintage lace linens, the gorgeous chandelier and props, and the “eat me” printed bags. The paper flower and butterfly garland, birdcage backdrop, and…

I’m back with the second guest dessert table feature of the day! Mary of Very Merry Events in California sent me pictures of a bee inspired dessert bar that she created for her very own little honey’s baptism. There are so many cute details about this dessert bar..where do I start? I think I would dive into this hive dessert bar if I was there. I’m loving the use of craspedias, sunflowers, and large…

More S’mores
I know, I know…I already posted about s’mores yesterday, right? But just because it is no longer National S’mores Day doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy this fave treat. I received so many emails about s’mores ideas after yesterday’s post that I thought the s’mores party should continue {at least on this blog!} Lisa of Moore Minutes sent over a s’mores bar and I had to share. See s’more {I had to} ideas at…

National S’mores Day
I’ve been nibbling on graham crackers all morning. So it was no surprise to me when I saw a tweet from my blogging friend Thoughtfully Simple that today is National S’mores Day! Yes, I had it on my calendar and yes we just did a s’mores dessert bar for a client {sorry I can’t share that one}, but somehow I forgot it this morning. I guess it was a subliminal message when I felt…
