Roaring 20′s Guest Dessert Feature

With all of the talk about Great Gatsby parties, we thought it would be fun to share this roaring 20s shoot by Allison of Wild Rose Sweets & Styling. The detailed design on the cakes, gold bejeweled boxes, and sequined tablecloth are so glam! The moss, champagne, and gold palette worked great in the setting, which was a beautiful mansion built in 1919. Sweet treats on the dessert table included the cakes, cupcakes, cake pops,…

Crazy About Coco Guest Dessert Feature

We have always had an affinity for Coco Chanel. Not just because of her impeccable taste, but because she was a ground breaker who changed all the fashion rules. This Coco Chanel inspired cocktail party was styled by Sasha from Make It Chic Events for her girlfriends. Sasha used inspiration from our book (we are loving the pleated pedestal skirt and hat box favors), and kept the table stylish. We also love the dotted buttercream…

Tutti Frutti Guest Dessert Feature

We love this tutti fruity party by Sibel from Sibella Photography. Sibel created it for Food Allergy Awarness Week and made a food display that was strong on flavor with allergen-free ingredients.

Rag Doll Guest Dessert Feature

Growing up, did you have a favorite doll?  I did. It was my Strawberry Shortcake doll and by the time I reached middle school, she had lost an eye, some hair and was raggedy, but I loved her nonetheless. This rag doll party was styled by Maggie and Cristina from Via Blossom for Cristina’s daughter’s birthday and brought back memories of that doll! We love how Maggie and Cristina incorporated scraps of fabric throughout the…

Virginie found a design of his favorite cartoon character, Fireman Sam, in a book and knew she had to make that cake for him. She
