Crafting Party Guest Dessert Feature
This crafting party that Christine at Pure Joy Events styled for her daughter’s birthday is so much fun! We adore the spool display and the use of decorative paper loosely hanging on the wall. Guests got crafty by painting and glittering beaded necklaces. They also made pom pom garlands out of yarn. Sweet treats included a vanilla cake with raspberry ganache filling, raspberry and chocolate cupcakes and jelly beans. Pink lemonade was served in canning…

With these cookie cutters, we baked off a basic sugar dough , and then decorated the cookies with royal icing from here. We then filled our little cookie bags with the Hanukkah cookies! We hope…

Tea Party Guest Dessert Feature March 7, 2011
I love this pretty tea party guest dessert feature for a baby shower from Effi and Anna of Le Petit Party. Effi and Anna incorporated a shabby chic floral fabric, and used it to create ruffled flowers for the invitations, the jam jar and goody bag covers, and the tulle canopy that hung over the client’s heirloom crib {pretty unique, right?} The sweet treats included that pretty buttercream cake {I love the technique that they used by making vertical lines with an offset spatula}, pink cupcakes, pink coconut ice, and strawberry cheesecakes. { Read More }
