Babushka dessert table

On Sunday I completed another Amazing course at Faye Cahill Cake Designs in Marickville.

                                                         The beautiful Babushka...


I knew what I wanted to do with this cake. I wanted to give it to my Son's teachers as a thankyou for all the countless hours they have spent, not just being his teacher, but offering him the best Start to his schooling for Infants. I decided the cake as beautiful and stunning as it was, was simply not a big enough Thankyou, I needed to to more. I desided that I would Style a Christmas Dessert table for them to enjoy on the last day of term. I found a beautiful Wrapping paper at Officeworks, that was designed by Christina Re. That was my inspiration. From there I took the colours, red, gold, and white from the paper, and hints of Purple from the Babushka. I made the Cupcakes, and used my stencil pattern and gold Luster to highlight them. The Dessert table featured different heights, beautiful jars, ferrero raffaello, fererro rocher, macaroons made by Her Macaroons, Fruit mince tarts, Malteasers, Jaffas, Candy Canes, Individual chocolate bars, Gold Bon bons, Lindt Choclate balls, Chocolate Brownies, and of course the Centerpiece Babushka cake. {the crying babushka}. They loved it so much, and I was really pleased with the end result. It Just proves that you don't always need fancy back drops, {I used the wrapping paper} and also used the wrapping paper to style the plates, and wrap the Chocolate bars. The jars I found in a dollar store for a bargain price of $35ea. The stand the cake was on was a cardboard box {nothing fancy} That I covered in the Wrapping paper. The only problem was that my Camera battery had exhausted itself, and I forgot to charge it, so the pictures are... well... Ordinary... However, Im sure you will still be able to appreciate the photos none the less... Please enjoy looking at the Photos as much as I loved to do this table

Come fly with me vintage inspired event

Today was my daughters 3rd birthday. The planning for this party started months ago when i booked in to do the novelty 101 at planet cake. It was a beautiful hot air balloon cake. From that moment i knew the date for the party and i knew the theme. UP UP AND AWAY (COME FLY WITH ME). I straight away went to ham and pea design and papperie and ordered their printable collection. So then i knew the date, time, place, cake, theme, and also the food choice. I wanted my little miss 3 to have a perfect party so i hired some toys  from tiny toys toy hire and children's trestle tables and chairs. I ordered kite kits for the children to create some kites to take home. This was months ago. I organised food from fleur de sel, and her macaroons, So I guess what Im trying to say is my little girls party has consumed my thoughts for... Well... A long time. Today was frantic busy, but worth every second to see her so happy with her friends. The best thing was using the new backdrop I got made, the hardest was getting everything from my house to my inlaws, and setting up with miss 3 tugging my skirt and stealing biscuits and cupcakes while i set up... (grrr)  my favourite part was helping the children make kites... Do you remember flying a kite as a kid? I used to go with my dad and after he used to buy me a strange sweet from the local China town.... It was sweet and kinda sour and salty as well, the kind of thing that drives your tastebuds wild as you have no idea what to expect. Enjoy the pictures.
