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.

Monday, July 12th, 2010

What the Klop? Everybody’s doing it!! Log tossing fun for the whole family, originating in Finland, the woodsmen would carve blocks from the birch forest and chuck them around to break the silence. It’s as simple as tossing the chuck underarm to knock over the pegs, which are all numbered, first to 50 wins. Take to the park, the backyard, the beach you can klop just about anywhere, there is even photographic evidence of klopping taking place the Sydney Opera House.

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.
