Happy Valentines Day My Love

xxxxxx

Another busy week – the social calendar is filling up for this term and I appear to have my finger in so many pies that I am running just to keep up – great to have so many interesting and exciting things happening though.

Here is a Happy Summer Friday picture – told you I liked yellow at the moment.

You can find the receipe here

Have a great weekend.

A few weeks ago my lovely friend Katena from Taylor Made Baking tagged me to play along with the 7 Random things game,  so today I have put together my list of 7 random things that are all my current party favourites.

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE LOLLY

I have become a little obsessed with these yummy treats – chewy clouds – I had a few left from a purple party I put together a few weeks ago and well … the rest is history!  They taste just like bubblegum only better.  

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE COLOUR FOR A PARTY SCHEME

I have a thing for yellow at the moment – it looks great with so many colours – pink and yellow, brown and yellow, grey and yellow, white and yellow

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE JAR

I love this tall elegant jar which always looks so pretty on a Christening and Wedding table

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE CAKE STAND

Need I say any more.

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE RIBBON

I love this pink, red and white ribbon – I have used it on a number of my parties this year.

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE DESSERT

The cookie pop of course!

MY CURRENT FAVOURITE BACKDROP

The lovely pink and green ribbon backdrop I used in last weekend’s party – you can see more of it here (I will do a post next week with more info on how to make this backdrop)

I thought I might pass this game on to one of my readers who has recently started a blog – pop over and say hi to Rachel from fabrik of life who has lots of pretty things for you to see!

Nothing reminds me more of Valentines Day than something that sparkles – here are a few lovely images to get me (and hopefully you) inspired for Valentines Day next week!

On Saturday I had the pleasure of creating a dessert table for Jade who was celebrating her 13th birthday at home with friends – her favourite colours were pink and green and she loves all things glamourous.  So with the colour theme set we then decided to put a focus on designer bags – Chanel, YSL, Gucci and Prada.  The amazing cupcakes made by the very talented Jacki from Blissfully Sweet Cakes were the focal point of the table and also served as the birthday cake.

 Beautiful “J” cookies with Chanel style quilting (also made by Jacki from Blissfully Sweet Cakes) looked stunning alongside the pink and green candy.

 Strawberry Milk and cookie pops

 The backdrop was made with strips of co-ordinating fabric.

Thank you Jade for asking me to put together a dessert table for your special day.

Special thanks also to Jessica from Oscar and Ruby who helped me out with some of the fabric used in the backdrop.
