Saturday, August 7th, 2010
There is only one Amy Atlas but mothers all over the world are recreating her stunning dessert tables for their children’s parties. Trish’s daughter Ellie had an Ice Cream Pool Party for her 6th birthday. The banner, cupcake toppers and food and drink labels are printable files, that were personalised for Ellie and printed by Trish from Love The Day. The scene was set pool side and the guests were invited to make their own ice creams choosing from coloured cones or waffle bowls and topping like sprinkles, starburst and candy.

Real Parties – Lilli’s Pink Tea Party
Sunday, July 18th, 2010
When your mum is the stella baker behind Bubble & Sweet it would be no surprise that your birthday parties are the most scrumptious and add in an aunt with an eye for detail for decorating and you have yourself a delicious desert table fit for a princess. Lilli’s 6th birthday party was dreamed up by her mum Linda, who was inspired by fairy wand cookies and the rest just fell into place.
The pink macaron tower was the start of the show, accompanied by a strawberry and cream layer birthday cake, fairy wand cookies, butterfly cake pops, marshmallows, chocolate macarons and fairy bite cookies. Linda made all of sweets and she will be adding recipes for some of them over the coming weeks. The decorations are handmade pom poms which you can make your self or get from Ah-tissue and the paper lanterns are by Robert Gordon. Visit Linda’s blog for more information.
Party Central – Ice-Cream Parlour
Sunday, July 4th, 2010
Sweet as candy and cool as ice-cream. This DIY Ice-Cream Parlour dessert table styled by the lovely Amy Moss from Eat Drink Chic is lip licking bliss. I am totally in love with concept, I mean who doesn’t love ice-cream? Amy also designed all of the labels for the dessert table, and has been kind enough to make them available for download from her website. Amy has not forgotten a single detail from the cups right down to the cherry on top. It is kind of dessert table is something a first timer can give a go and be proud of the results, as you can download the labels in advance and only have to arrange store brought items on the day. Now to twist Amy’s arm for a blue version……

Party Inspiration Board – Rainbow Theme
Monday, June 21st, 2010
What’s not to love about colour at a birthday party? But before you have a heart attack about the amount of food colouring one must use to re-create such a colourful dessert table, fear not! There are some food colourings that you can either purchase or make yourself that are natural and do not contain the nasties that artificial types have in them that can be bad for your children. Here is some useful information about food colouring and some recipes to make your own or you can purchase them here, both links from a hullabaloo food.
