First Communion

We love it when our customers share with us what they do with our Edibles after they are collected, and Kelly has excelled with this dessert table.

We just couldn't resist sharing the feedback we received from our client  "Everyone just loved the edibles and Grace was just so happy! Everything tasted wonderful and my table never looked so beautiful!". It puts a big smile on our face.

Working with a brief of  "something pretty and a colour palate of white, pink and touch of green" we designed decorative cross and heart shaped sugar cookies, colour matching macarons and cake pops as well as the ever so popular personalised chocolate bars.

Finally a special thanks to Kelly for letting us be a part of your daughters special day, for sending these snapshots and providing us with great feedback.

'A very hungry caterpillar' themed babyshower

We were thrilled when we were recently asked to put together some pieces for a baby shower with The Very Hungry Caterpillar as the central theme. The guest of honour is a teacher, so it seemed very apt and we loved creating all the little details to help her bring the baby shower to life. 

Love these biscuits - each one had a tiny hole in it!

Big thanks to Giggleberry Creations for the gorgeous bunting and Squiggle & Stitch for the fabulous purple spotty table runner. The fun caterpillar was made from pom poms by the lovely Pom Pom Princess.

All candy, edibles, cake stands and jars from The Inspired Occasion.

Finally, big congrats to Bec and Kristy on their wonderful job of styling the table!

Join us to dance the night away!

Who doesn't love a disco dance? And nothing says disco, like a shimmery shiny disco ball. This fun party that we recently put together for a gorgeous 12 year old included everything a disco loving girl could possibly want!

We started off by preparing each guest a survival pack to take home. Each one included a glittering nail polish, a CD containing all the birthday girls favourite songs, a personalised chocolate bar and some lollies. We were so pleased with how these came up and can't wait to do them again!

And what disco for a 12 year old is complete without lots and lots of pink?! Everything from pink glasses, to 150 pink balloons helped to set the scene. 

The highlight of the dessert station was the lovely disco ball cake created by Cakes & Biscuits by Lisa. It also included; mini chocolate mousse cups, pink donuts, macarons, cake pops, cupcakes and of course, lots of delicious candy!

We also arranged a karaoke machine and a chocolate fountain - which the kids loved and we heard they rocked out long into the night!

All the printables for this party were inspired by the invite design by Jennifer Birkhead.
All styling and edibles are from The Inspired Occasion.

You can check out another of our favourite disco parties here.

We have another busy weekend, with a cocktail party on Saturday night (the first of the Christmas season - when did that sneak up?!) and then off to Williamstown on Sunday for Fairy Floss Markets, where we will be the cupcake chicks again.

Would love to see you there :)

A day out at Boutique markets

Yesterday was our first outing at the new Boutique markets, held at the Malvern Town Hall and despite persistent drizzle in Melbourne, we were thrilled with how many visitors we had!

This new stylish market (run by the very clever girls behind Mathilda's Market) was filled with so many gorgeous stalls, all with something a bit different, a bit unique - we even started some of our Christmas shopping.

We also got to catch up with Katy from 5 Star Baby (whose stall also looked fabulous!), the gorgeous Penny from MiniStyle and the lovely Kate from Sambellina! What a treat!

Next weekend we will be over at Williamstown Fairy Floss market, as the Cupcake Chicks. This will be the last Fairy Floss market at Williamstown, as the venue won't be available in 2012 - so lets make it a great one!

Hope to see you there.

Inspired By - Alison Lawson Cakes

We love receiving our Inspired By submissions and this one is particularly special. With big thanks to Alison Lawson, from Alison Lawson Cakes in NSW for sharing it with us, she has created a truly gorgeous morning tea to celebrate a friends birthday.

Taking inspiration from her friends favourite colour of green, and butter cream icing (a personal favourite of mine too!), she put together a small table with something for everyone. Even the guests came dressed to suit the theme, all wearing a token green item!

The table included a 4 tier vanilla cake, decorated with buttercream icing swirls (similar to these cakes we did here and here). 

It also included vanilla cookies, vanilla yoghurt spoons (with pieces of crystallised lime) and little cups of honeydew melon balls. She also created these lovely green swirl meringues - how delightful do they look!

Alison used scrapbooking papers to make the bunting for the wall and then coordinated it with the bunting on the cake. She then followed it through for the chocolate bar wrappers and the decorations on the honeydew cups. 

Well done Alison on such a lovely party! If only we were in the same state - it would be lovely to share some melon with you! We can't wait to see what you come up with next.

You can find Alison Lawson Cakes here on Facebook.

Cheers,
