We ordered boxes of Girl Scout …cookies and we’re patiently awaiting their arrival. Some of our friends on Facebook have mentioned that they received their packages this week and it has been fun to see which cookies each person prefers. Mine are the Tag-A-Longs with Samoas a close second. All this talk of girl scout cookies made us think of desserts that are inspired by the green badge cookies. We scoured the web and found

Amy Atlas Moment: First Birthday Party
One of the best things about this book experience so far has been the enormous support that I have received from YOU (thank you). One of the things that makes me smile the most is when our readers tell us that they were given the confidence to create their own dessert tables because of us. At the Bloomingdales event, that is exactly what happened when I met Anne. She spoke about the table she created…

Colorful Floral Guest Dessert Feature
We are loving this dessert table from cake designer Asma of The Sugared Saffron in the UK. She collaborated with stylist Andri from Always Andri to create this bold and colorful sweets table for a bridal shoot. We love the kaleidoscope of vertical ribbon strips over the tablecloth. We’ve done this often and it is an inexpensive way to dress up a simple white linen. We also love Andri’s choice to make the table asymmetrical…

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss Part II
Kelly of Paper Stories sent in this whimsical, kid-appropriate Dr. Seuss-inspired dessert bar so I could share it with you.

In our home, we read Dr. Seuss books all the time and “Green Eggs and Ham” is a staple in the bedtime routine so I really enjoyed seeing this table. Kelly labeled…

We’re on to our third school related post of the day. I know that school is starting for some of you in a couple of weeks (for us, not until after Labor Day), so when I saw this I thought it was the perfect time to share. One of the things I love my most about my “job” is that it allows me many opportunities to give back. { Read More }
