Creative with Fondant

When it comes to using fondant I like to say I think at times outside of the box.  Using fondant doesn't only have to be just for cakes, cookies & cupcakes.  Last October when Rebecca & Shannon of Fresh Chick Design Studio were planning Rebecca’s “Baby Shower Happy Hour” to celebrate her third baby on the way, I had the idea to create coordinating fondant “glass rimmers” to make her drinks sweet.   For both the taste and presentation for her and her quests.

Take a look!  I adore this whole party from the colors to the reason to celebrate.  I also love the way they designed the cake with the fondant pieces that I sent to her.  

You can read and see more details on Hostesswith the Mostess where the party was featured!

 

What do you think?  What ways would you use fondant pieces while entertaining? 

CHEERS!! Happy Friday!  Enjoy your weekend! 

Peace, Love & Fondant~

Sweet Product Features

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone is doing well!  I have been super busy as we all are this time of year with spring sports, try-outs, baking & styling parties!  
I wanted to share in case you missed it features from this week with sweets that I created for two incredibly talented party stylists a few weeks ago!  

First up was a Mod Orange & Grey Baby shower that was featured on 

Hostess with the Mostess by Fresh Chick Studio ~  

I love the color scheme, fabrics & graphics of this party!  

Here is the whole dessert display styled by Rebecca & photo of the the fondant cake pieces that were created to accessorize her store bought cake.  Taking a traditional $9 cake with $25 fondant pieces for a cake that would more or less cost from a bakery $60 or more! 

  

Buying a cake from the bakery to dress up is certainly a trend that is catching on in the party world!  I first starting doing this last summer from my husbands birthday - click here to see!  

Now this is party certainly is fit from a princess with so many AMAZING details created by Nancy of A to Zebra Celebrations that was featured on Celebrations at Home!  

Her daughter turned 4, Hannah and all the little princesses enjoyed personalized crown cookies that day!  I love making the party about all the guests along with the guest of honor!  This was a perfect way to do so!

Cupcakes & Tea for the Mama To Be {Preview}

I am so excited to share part of the pictures with you from the shabby chic baby sprinkle that I baked, styled & hosted this past weekend.  The Mama to be is having her second child but 1st daughter.  We knew she was going to need baby girl clothes so we asked the guests to bring baby girl outfits and we created a clothesline that was gifted to her!

The theme was shabby chic tea as I mentioned!  I have been wanting to do this theme for a long time, ever since I was gifted my grandmother's china & then to use with many little things that I have collected over the years!  Everything looked so wonderful!  I was even able to borrow a few vintage things from my Mom & Aunt to really make everything perfect!  I'll share a lot of photo's in my next post!

This is the first post I will do, this one I am sharing the entry buffet table!

Enjoy, indulge & I hope you are inspired by these photo's!

from my Mom filled with pink roses & tulips

Buffet table in the entry way.  

I bought the frame from Pier 1 imports and 

added pink rose ribbon & rose buds to the clips to make it girly.  

Everyone left sweet notes for the the Mama to be.
