By now, you all know I have a slight obsession with cookbooks. While perusing Amazon the other day, I came across this book and threw it in my cart! Since today is National Popcorn Day… (according to some sources), I thought today would be the perfect day to share this great find. Hannah Miles shows how popcorn can be dressed up in a myriad of fabulous flavors from sweet to savory! Sweet popcorn recipes include

Laduree Inspired Guest Dessert Feature
Laduree recently opened in New York City. There are always lines out the door and if you have ever eaten one of their tasty treats, you would understand why. This Laduree-inspired photo shoot was sent to us by Azar from Principal Planner. To pay homage to the mecca of macarons, they tied in elements of the luxury brand by bringing in look-alike cookies, pastries, and of course, macarons. We love the gilded frames against the…

Mermaid Guest Dessert Feature
This sweet mermaid table was sent to us by Debbie of Wants and Wishes. She created this party for her niece who has an obsession with mermaids at the moment.

This table was sent to us by Belinda of Styled by Belle…. For her client Melissa’s 21st birthday, the ladies chose a bold yet glamorous theme using the colors pink, black and white.

Around the Atlas: Brazil
This “Around the Atlas” is from Brazil and was created by Luciana of Atelie Festejar for the birthday party of her two sons. She wanted to have a theme that they would both enjoy and came up with a toy theme. We often hear from readers that is hard to find products in Brazil and other countries that we can get so easily in the US. This was the case for Luciana so she decided…

Jungle Baby Shower Guest Dessert Feature
Kim White from Two’s A Party! created this jungle baby shower for a friend who is having a boy. We think the palette is very chic for a boy’s party. The orange, blue, green, and brown stripes gave this table just the right amount of style cred for a modern and masculine vibe. We also love how the giraffe printables are styled with the cupcakes! Kim teamed up with Simply Layered Cake Designs to create…

Little Man Guest Dessert Feature {with Caramel Pretzel Cheesecake Shooter Recipe}
When this featured submission popped up in our inbox, it put a huge smile on my face. As a mother to two boys, I’m always referring to them as “My Little Men”. Although I’m not the biggest fan of the “moustache trend” that we saw in 2011, this table by Gretchen from Three Little Monkeys Studio was done just right! Ever since her son was born, Gretchen and her husband have always called their son…
