Catching up...

We were both away last weekend, taking advantage of the Queens birthday holiday and enjoying some extra time with our families. I headed up to Sydney on an epic road trip with my husband and daughter to enjoy some of the gorgeous city. While Alex enjoyed spending time with her family, heading down the coast and perfecting her macarons!

But rest assured, even when we aren't online, we are still working! Lucky we love what we do! Alex has been busy working away on the aforementioned macarons - and I am telling you now, they are so delicious! We are very excited to have added them to our Edible range and have been overwhelmed with the interest they have generated! If you would like a copy of our Edibles price list, drop us an email here.

I spent the long weekend, between trips to Luna Park and Taronga Zoo, working on our nomination/submission for the AusMumpreneur Awards. We blogged about it last night, but if you missed it - you can catch up here. We will keep you posted on how you can help us for the People's Choice award over the coming weeks.

We also were asked to be part of a special one day pop up sale at Petit Atelier in Prahran next Thursday. This sale is going to be awesome; including some of our favourite children's designer retailers and party accessories from MiniStyle to Candy Soirees and Little Sooti! We will be whipping up little baby cupcakes for guests to nibble on while they shop. Alex actually did a batch of them for another client this week. They are just so cute - the perfect bite size treat.

Don't forget - we will be at Fairy Floss markets in Geelong this Sunday. We will have a great selection of yummy treats including our cookies and cake pops, along with a great range of fun party accessories.

While we are talking about our new range... stay tuned - next week is the big week where it will all go live! More on that soon!

Cheers,

Nominated!

We are very excited to announce that we have been nominated for the AusMumprenuer Awards! Not only in one category, but three.... Emerging Mumprenuer of the Year, Service Business of the Year and the voters choice, Handmade Mumprenuer of the Year!

It's so exciting for us and our business - such a validation of how hard we have been working... obviously we are thrilled when our clients are happy and enjoy their events, but to get this little bit of extra recognition is so fabulous!

Anyway - we will keep you posted on our progress... fingers crossed for making the finals! However, even if we don't (and looking at the line up of the other nominees we are some really wonderful company), well, as they always say 'it's such an honour just to be nominated', but we REALLY mean it!!

And if you are anywhere in the Geelong area on Sunday, don't forget we will be at the Fairy Floss Markets from 9am - 2pm. As per last time we will have a selection of yummy treats as well as a selection from our fun new range. We would love to say hello, so make sure you drop by!

Mmmm cake pops

Cake pops are definitely a huge trend at the moment and nobody I know makes them like Alex does...
(ok, well maybe I would love to try a Bakerella cake pop, the original cake pop queen... but in lieu of a trip to America, I will take Alex's every time)

The Oreo cookie pops are my favourites and are always such a hit at our parties, with the adults loving them just as much as the kids! In fact, we received a tweet this week from Stacey Sullaphen (Sunny Mummy herself) saying "Not a day goes by where I am not dreaming of your cake pops & the BEST carrot cupcakes EVER!"

With a huge range of flavours and decorating options, they are also hugely versatile and are able to be adapted to suit any theme.

Don't forget if you are based in Melbourne, you can purchase these directly from us, freshly baked and custom decorated to suit your theme. Drop us an email here for a copy of our price list.

Cheers,

Market wrap up

This time last week we were both working around the clock to prepare for our very first market stand at the Sugar & Spice market at Woodend. Well, it's been and gone - and we loved every minute of it!

It was a freezing day, but the rain held off and the crowds were strong. We loved meeting all the other stall holders and were truly flattered with all the positive feedback we received on our new range.

A big congratulation to Sherryn for running such a wonderful first market. We can't wait to see where she take Sugar & Spice over the coming months.

We will be having a short break this weekend, as I head to Sydney for the long weekend and Alex enjoys some family time.

However we will be back next week, busy as ever, as we prepare for our stall at the Fairy Floss Markets in Geelong on 19th June as well as the launch of our new range. It's going to be a busy couple of months and we can't wait to share it all with you!

Cheers,

Butterfly baby shower

We love doing baby showers. There is something just so special about welcoming a new baby into a family with a party! We loved working with this client, who kindly arranged the baby shower for her sister (all while being pregnant herself!).

There was lots of candy of course! This table featured; milk bottles, chocolate drops, white chocolate drops, pink jelly beans, blue smarties (from Candy Soirees) and musk sticks.

After being such a hit at the Sunny Mummy dinner, it was great to serve our delicious individual pana cotta and apple crumbles again, along with cake pops and a range of cupcakes.

The theme for this event was based around a set of plates the client received as a wedding gift. It was the perfect colour scheme for a unisex baby shower, with both pinks, blues and browns, which we were able to incorporate through out the set up.

The butterfly motif that is so popular at the moment, also worked really well - as a symbolism of new life, what could be more perfect!

This client also requested our drinks station, complete with stripy straws and mineral waters. We did this earlier in the year for another baby shower and they looked so cute - she just had to have them!

The best part of the day? When the guest of honour came in and shed a tear of surprise and joy at how gorgeous it all looked!

Not that we want all our clients to cry, but it was lovely to see how happy she was - that's what it's all about!

Cheers,
