Cupcake Liners: Not just for baking anymore!

Need a fun idea for a spring dessert table?

Look no further!

There are so many creative ideas using

cupcake liners these days!

I found this really cute idea over at

one of my favorite baking shops

Fancy Flours!

You can find these cupcake liners

and instructions here!

I'll have one please....

...or maybe 2!

I love the idea of setting up

speciality cocktail bars for parties!

Try this one out at your next brunch!

Make your own Bloody Mary's!

This eye catching bar was set up by

Blue Style!

I have a serious crush on this table!

From the over sized colored and clear

containers, to the turquoise pepper mill,

to the beautiful vegetable skewers!

Aw....love at first site!

You want one of those pepper mills don't ya?

Check out all of the details of the ingredients

they used here!

Black and Yellow...Hello!

I love the colors of yellow and black together.

I think the color combination is so strikingly beautiful.

By using touches black it makes it easy to incorporate

the spring color of yellow any time of the year.

This would make a beautiful display for a wedding,

baby shower, or wedding shower!

Not to mention birthday celebration!

This beautiful dessert styling was put together

by Diana Louise "Punky" Porca and

talented photographers at

from Photo Kitchen Food Photography.

A Little Love

I love cake stands!

So when I saw these at

Fancy Flours,

I fell in love.

Everything is more precious

in it's smaller version right?

Looks like these would be easy to embellish as well!

Oh, the possibilities!

Find them here at Fancy Flours.

Zero Calorie Dessert Table

Try not having dessert at all!

This is a great little twist on the

classic dessert table that we have

all become accustomed to!

Check out these fabulous spa

bath and body goodies!

They have the look and smell of baked treats and confections!

This idea comes to us from Nonpareil.

How fun would this be for a girls night in spa party?

I think this could be fun for all ages!

You can find all of the recipes to make your own

body treats such as bath salts, lip balm, sugar scrub

and much, much more!

Those Cupcake Bath Bombs are to die for!

Love them!

Not only does Nonpareil provided the directions

for making these little treasures,

they have provided all of the downloads

to go with it here!

Including the cupcake boxes and

of the labels you see pictured!

I love this no calorie dessert idea!

DIY Bridal Shower Postcard

I love the ease and idea of using postcards for invites!

Check this out!

I think this is precious....

(Photographer)

The idea came from Hillary at Hello!Lucky
who was designing an invite for
a friends bridal shower.
This was featured at Wedding Bee.

This would be very easy to recreate on your own for any occasion.
Say, a baby shower...I love it!

Here are also some details from the shower itself.
I love how they repeated the pointing hand
on the food display table.

Bow inspired Bridal Shower

Ok...I have to admit that I am not

a big "bow" person.

Bow's just aren't my thing...

but wait...

or are they?

This bridal shower sweets table was

"Bow" inspired and just right!

The ladies over at Couture Cakery styled this event.

The preppy colors of Pink and Green

are such great combinations for a bridal shower.

This is to coordinate with her wedding.

And listen to this ladies...

The bride is going to have a cake

at EVERY table....ALL 20 OF THEM!

I love the material used to tie in the color scheme...

Hydrangea topiaries...love the subtle pink....

Fabric wrapped vases with pretzels...

Of course tied up in bows...

So, I guess I am not a "Bow" hater after all
Thanks Couture Cakery!

Ice Ice baby

Ok, so the ice sculptures of old are not

very hip.

Swans and cupids are

not what people are looking for these days!

Think Martini, Champagne, Raw Bar....

Well meet Don Chapelle.

He is an amazing ice artist who's love for

sculpting ice began when he was 18!

Check out these very cool

and functional designs!

Caviar and Vodka Station.....

Raw Bar....

Milk and Cookies bar!
This has to be my favorite!

Red Teal and Retro Bridal Shower

One of my favorite color combinations is

Red and Teal.

So, I feel in love with this very cute

Retro Housewives Bridal Shower

from Party Spot.

The Tables of Teal and Red.......

I love the use of paper as alternative to

expensive place mats and flowers!

The Place Setting....

Nice retro housewives feel.

More paper flower accents throughout....

Pimp my Cupcake...

The Bride chose her favorite and the guest won a prize

I love these napkins....my type of housewife!
