Halloween Guest Dessert Feature
Suzanna of Mon Tresor sent in this haunted treats table that was inspired by my turquoise and orange collection for Cocodot. Suzanna used a turquoise and orange palette and mixed it with black and white to make it a little more spooky. Suzanna elevated a traditional Halloween table to chic by using a beautiful black and white backdrop. I’m loving the witch’s brew, the pretty coconut cake, the lace around the beverages, and the spider…

We filled up 2 gallon jars from Anchor Hocking and The Jar Store with candy and sent them off to some of our friends and asked…

Spooky Halloween Deliveries
We’re working on a fun project today at AAE. We’re all bundled into 2 vans making drop-offs of Halloween treats for some of our clients. If there were ever a day to do one of our v-logs, this would have been a good day! Here’s a peek at some of the goody boxes we’re dropping off. I’ll also show you a peek later in the week of another Halloween project that we’re working on today. …

Crazy Over Candy Corn!
We are knee-deep in Halloween projects {I’ll show you a peek this week}, and there is candy corn all over the AAE office! Like many, candy corn evokes so many childhood memories for me. I remember my Grandma used to have small bowls of candy corn around her house on Halloween and I would grab as many as I could before anyone would catch me. Every time I eat a candy corn, that sugary taste…

Dessert Table on a Truck – Guest Feature
There is the Treats Truck and then there is the dessert table truck! Heather of the WhipperBerry Blog in Las Vegas sent in this shoot that they created with a vintage red truck. I have to say, I’m personally not a fan of all of the outdoor shoots that I see all the time, mainly because I find them impractical for people that are really planning parties. However, the styling on this innovative truck-treats table …

Hello Naomi and Scissors Paper Cake created another kid-friendly and drool-worthy dessert bar and you’ll once again be in awe of all of the details. The honey tables have been catching a lot of buzz around here at the AAE office. So what is not to love here? Naomi’s cakes and cupcakes are absolute perfection. Look at that bee hive cake!

Dreamy Floral Guest Dessert Feature
I’m in absolute love with this dreamy guest dessert feature from Bec and Tammy of Ruby Ju from Australia. I love how they framed the sweets spread with the beautiful draped linen. It sets the table apart from the rest of a party and gives the table it’s own significant role. And how gorgeous is that buttercream cake? I’m currently on a cleanse and that picture is enough for me to break it! I also…

Spiderman Guest Dessert Feature
We’re up to our second guest dessert feature of the day. This one is from Cecilia and Jeannette of The Treat Table in Florida {we’ll get a link up to their site soon}. It is not easy to incorporate commercial characters into a polished sweets spread, but I think these ladies did a fantastic job. There are a lot of great components to this table. The spiderman cake is really fabulous and these ladies made…

Sharnel was one of the first guest features that I ever posted over a year ago. You can see past guest features here and here. Sharnel always rocks her designs, but do you want to know why I was drawn to this table in particular? I used that very same Ralph Lauren…

Night Out with The Knot

After we filled ourselves up on sweets, dancing, and lots of glammed up services, we made our way over to the New York Public Library for The Knot’s party. I have to say…I’ve only visited the New York Public Library to read with my…

Buzz-worthy Guest Dessert Feature

Everything looks bee-tiful Katie! Fantastic work!…
