Spring is in the air and this Spring inspired guest dessert feature was sent to us by Jenny at Bloom Designs Online. She was having some neighborhood friends over and thought a lemonade stand full of sweet treats would be the perfect way to welcome both her friends and the warm weather. Jenny’s vanilla cake was inspired by the Necco Wafer runner in the Pastel Pretty chapter of Sweet Designs. We love seeing ideas from…

We love this nautical party and dessert table that Rachel of Sol and Rachel created for her son. Rachel created a menu that consisted of sailboat shaped sandwiches, blue jello cups with apple slice sailboats {we love!}, chocolate dipped pretzel oars, goldfish crackers, and little plastic boats filled with fruit. Guests spent time playing in the SS Finley, which Rachel’s husband crafted from a huge cardboad box. The printables by RV Parties tied the whole party together.…

This morning we are featuring a girly girl party. Amanda at inviteme in Australia created this ballet themed dessert table for her daughter Grace’s birthday. Complete with twirling ribbons, pink ruffles and dancing cupcakes, this was every little ballerina’s dream. As their living room turned into a sea of tulle skirts and ballets slippers, the little ballerinas played music chairs, musical statues, and pass the parcel. An ombre pink ruffled cake was front and…

We have always been a big fan of Dr. Seuss books and this Lorax dessert table from Marjaneh at Candybar Couture captured the essence of the story. Marjaneh created this party for her son’s birthday. We love incorporating vessels into the design of the party and Marjaneh did that well with the Lorax decorated apothecary jar. She simply filled an apothecary jar with red jelly beans and decorated it with Whimsical Printables. Sweet treats on the dessert…

Catherine from Serendipity Soiree styled this vintage firetruck dessert table for her son and husband who have birthdays just three days apart. Since ice cream is a treat that can span the generation gap, Catherine mixed a vintage truck theme with an ice cream float bar for her “men.” She kept both the party and the dessert table small. You don’t have to create a huge table to make a GIANT statement. We love…

Emmy collaborated with Vivan from Envy Anvi to create this dessert table for a safari-loving little boy’s birthday party. The boy’s mom asked for a safari cake and the cake inspired the entire table. I love the details in the animal treats. I normally don’t like…

She designed this collection for her niece’s 9th birthday who asked for a garden party. Debbie used tissue flowers to create her backdrop. Instead of having cake on a cake stand as the centerpiece of the table, Debbie purchased a cardboard in the…

Sweet treats on the dessert table included marshmallow clouds, chocolate cupcakes and cake pops. We love the Strawberry Oreo cookies that Leonie created by using store bought Oreos and adding strawberry icing in the shape of a paw print. It is a fantastic and cost effective alternative to having cookies made and looked…
