Sugar & Spice and all things nice...

Sorry for the quiet week over here on the blog. We have been so busy preparing for our first market outing at Sugar & Spice Children's Market this Sunday, that the week seems to have slipped us by!

We are so thrilled with how our new Inspired Parties range is coming together and can't wait to share it with the visitors at Sugar & Spice. With a mix of products designed by us, as well as complementary items from other (very talented) Australian small businesses, we are hoping that everyone will love it as much as we do!

{sneak peek of our new Inspired Parties range - coming soon}

Finally, we had such a great time at last weekend's Sunny Mummy dinner in Melbourne. We loved meeting all the wonderful mums and business women, all with their own special and inspirational story to tell. We really enjoyed being a part of this dinner and can't wait to do it again soon!

In the mean time, we would love to see you this weekend at Sugar & Spice! If you come along, make sure you pop over and say hi!

Cheers,

Dine and Shine - A Sunny night!

If you haven't already stumbled across the Sunny Mummy Sisterhood and you're a mum, then get yourself over there! Stacey Sullaphen, the owner and creator of Sunny Mummy is an amazing woman, filled with such a bubbly, infectious sunshine, that it's no wonder that this inspirational group is growing by the day.

So when Stacey announced her Dine and Shine Motherhood Celebration dinners, across 3 states in 3 weeks, we knew we wanted to be a part of it! We were thrilled when she offered us the opportunity to provide a dessert station for the Melbourne dinner.

Inspired by the fabulous graphic designs by Sarah at Style Me Gorgeous; we designed the table to reflect the bright and sunny theme of the Sunny Mummy website, using bright fabric and a custom designed paper range.

Tonight we will share the dessert station - cause we know that's what you all love - but we will give an update on the rest of the (fabulously Sunny) night later in the week.

On the table we served; Vanilla bean pana cotta, apple crumbles, sugar cookies, Oreo and butter cookie pops, chocolate, vanilla and carrot cupcakes. So much deliciousness on one table!

Gorgeous flowers by Velvet Lily Florist

A great range of lollies including lemon sherbets, caramels, chocolate drops, jelly beans, smarties and bananas! 

Each guest also received a chocolate bar and one of the fun sugar cookies to take home (along with a great goodie bag from the Sunny Mummy sponsors).

The cookie pops - always such a hit! 

We do sell these, along with all our Edible range directly to our customers. You don't have to book a whole event with us to enjoy our yummy Edible range! 

If you are interested, just drop us an email at occasions@theinspiredoccasion.com.au and we will send you through a price list.

These flowers were so lovely - thanks Velvet Lily! We loved that Li-Anne from Ham & Pea Paperie was one of the lucky winners of these arrangements at the end of the night! 

The one and only, Sunny Mummy herself - Stacey!

Finally, we are only about 30 likers off the big 1000 on our Facebook page! If you haven't already found us over there, please drop by and like us :) Pretty please!

Cheers,

To market, to market...

We are so excited to be working on new projects and preparing for our first ever market stall, next weekend at Sugar & Spice Children's Market in Woodend. It's such a beautiful market and we want to make sure we match the high standards of the other stall holders!

This market will also be the debut of our new range, which we are very excited about! We had a photo shoot yesterday with all our new products, along with items from our new suppliers.

It was so much fun and we were so pleased with the results. Although we have either created or hand chosen each and every element, it was the first time we had them all together, in one place. I think we both expected there to be one or two things that just didn't work, so we were (secretly) pleased with how well it all came together.

We will be sharing photos from this shoot over the coming weeks, as we get ready to launch the new range officially. Until then, this sneak peek will have to suffice!

Cheers,

Dine & Shine with Sunny Mummy

We have long been fans of Stacey Sullaphen from Sunny Mummy, so when she announced her Dine and Shine dinners, we knew we had to get along to the Melbourne one. And when she asked for someone to do a dessert station, well, how could we not volunteer?!

Not only do we get to hang with a group of Fabulous (yes, with a capital F) women, but we get to meet the original Sunny Mummy herself!

It will be a busy weekend this weekend, with the Dine and Shine dinner on Saturday night and a (gorgeous) baby shower on Sunday, but we are well on our way to make both events super special.

See if you can guess which event these are for?

We are also very excited to announce that the wonderful and talented team at Velvet Lily Florist have donated a gorgeous floral centrepiece for our dessert station! We can't wait to see what they come up with!

If you are interested in coming along to the Dine and Shine dinner, there are still (very) limited tickets left. You can find out more here.

Cheers,

Cupcake inspirations

We love being a part of the special occasions in our clients lives and bringing them the special touches to help complete their days.

We also love being able to offer something new and different, as well as ensuring the quality of our work stays high. That's where professional development comes in.

Not only does it give you, our clients and loyal readers something new to inspire you, but we also love the challenge of trying a new skill and the feeling of accomplishment when we nail it!

This week Alex completed the first in a series of courses dedicated to cupcake decoration. I think she already does a fabulous job with her delicious cupcakes, but I must say, I can't wait to use these new designs on our next table!

Don't forget all our Edibles range including; cupcakes, cake pops, cookie pops, birthday cakes, sugar cookies and a full range of individual desserts are available for your next Occasion direct from our food safety certified kitchens to you.

If you would like a copy of our Edibles price list, or assistance with your next Occasion, please don't hesitate to contact us at occasions@theinspiredoccasion.com.au - we would love to hear from you!
