#MoodboardMondays: Sparkle On, Baby!

7/30/2016

0 Comments

This week's #MoodboardMondays was a throwback to one of the very first styling I designed. I wanted something sparkly, glittery and versatile enough for a first birthday, baby shower, 21st birthday or a holiday soiree. 

Inspired by Silver & Gold glitter + foil textures, our Sparkle On styling featured spray-painted safari animals for a pop of fun, gold foil prints & toppers & lots of edible gold desserts. 

PLUS, what made this even more special was it was my first collaboration with Claire of Sugar By J Cake when we first launched our businesses in December last year! (and the first we photographed together).

Check out how it turned out below!

We featured a spread of vanilla-based desserts with gold & berry toppings to bring the theme to life. With lots of gold paints, foil textures in our party decor.

​When I style dessert tables, I prefer to let the food do the talking & often conceptualize themed dessert designs & work with our baking partners to create them.

Tassels tassels & more tassels. In Ivory, Silver & Gold foil with custom cut-out geo diamond accents.

Many people think tassels are so last year, but I still do love them! They are such an easy fix to add color, texture and fun to any party styling!

Gold painted safari animals, gold foiled custom designed cupcake toppers for a touch of luxe !

If there's anything we love, it's hassle-free party entertaining & hosting solutions. For our party favors, we tied on our custom gold foiled tags to mini pudding glasses & filled them with caramel corn. The result was pretty gold filled glasses that doubled up as great table props!

​Some of you may have also noticed, I've mentioned how I made Dessert Shots only....Well, that's because my baking skills for cakes & cupcakes aren't quite there. PLUS, I find these shooters such a pretty treat & easy for your guests to pick up and eat them as they mingle.

So, tada! That's how our Sparkle On, Baby! styling went down.

We chose a color palette of Ivory, Wood textures, Dusty & Forest Green for our dessert table & designed a matching themed menu focusing on vanilla and chocolate flavors, with berry tones.

Happy Labor Day!

I hope you enjoyed the long weekend! As promised, here is the adapted recipe we used for our Lemon Yogurt Raspberry Loaf which we baked for our Mother's Day Breakfast Tray styling. 

I swear by this Ina Garten Lemon Yogurt Cake recipe. It never ever fails me & always comes out of the loaf pan beautifully, golden brown sides & no cracks. Best part? No mixer needed- stir in all ingredients into a big baking bowl & mix to your heart's content.

I hope you enjoy this hearty, wholesome, comforting recipe as much as I do.

Matcha Custard Puffs Recipe

I've been in a cream puff craze of late. It thrills me every single time I see my profiteroles puff up in the oven & the satisfaction I get while piping each profiterole with cool custard or creme is magical.

So, as part of our collaboration with Matchaya, we used their ceremonial grade Matcha Powder from Japan to make these Matcha Custard Cream Puffs & boy are these good!
​
I love how gooey and smooth this is, how the custard bursts into your mouth. How light and fluffy it is with a rich, roasty matcha flavor. If you are daunted by the prospect of making these, please don't be! 
I promise these are really easy as long as you have some patience and courage :)
