Yummy Yellow


April 12, 2012

My enjoyment in pulling out the camera and photographing pretty things is one of the favourites parts of my life in the world of Sweet Style.  A few weeks ago I was shooting a mothers day table that was based around the colours yellow and grey (the pictures will be out soon!).  After I had finished the shoot found a few more goodies from the various corners of my home and kept shooting. It is just so lovely to capture things through the lens – to see the details – a tiny snippet of a big picture – the pureness of the petals on a flower – the swirl of frosting on a cupcake or the elegance of a simple stem in a jar.
Life behind the camera really does take on a new meaning and I am becoming more in love with it as the days pass.
Enjoy some yummy yellow on this sunny Friday! 
Have a lovely weekend.

Green and Chocolate Wedding Candy Table


April 10, 2012

Today I have some photo’s for you from a lovely green and chocolate wedding candy table I put together a few weeks ago.
I was asked just a few weeks before the big day to pull something together that could tie in with the green theme that the bride and groom had chosen for their wedding.  A cake had already been ordered so I needed to co-ordinate the candy and other sweet treats around that.
Three colours were used on the table – green, milk chocolate and white chocolate.
Some delicious desserts were also added which included cake pops by Blissfully Sweet Cakes and macaroons in a pistachio flavour.
The lovely sideboard at the venue (which you can see here at a previous candy table in the same venue) made the perfect place to present the candy buffet.

Congratulations Tam and Rob – thanks for asking me to be part of your special day.

Lady Bird Dessert Table


April 3, 2012

Last week I had the pleasure of putting together a sweet and pretty lady bird themed dessert table for an adorable 2 year old named Izzy.  Izzy’s mum requested a pink lady bird with a hint of blue.
The very cute cake was made by Blissfully Sweet Cakes along with the cookies, cupcakes and cake pops.
Mini merringues, strawberry milk, mini pots of jelly and little cartons of popcorn completed the sweet food and of course some jars of sweets were provided for the little guests to fill their take home goodie bags with.  I used a few different little packing options and they worked a treat.
The popcorn was served in cute little mini pails and the take home boxes where the very cute milk cartons favour boxes. 

The new favour pails that I used for the popcorn can now be found in the store here – great for popcorn, ice cream or even as a take home favour pack!
