i was asked by a sweet girl who found me on the internet to do her engagement for 20 people, i did 2 tables and a small simple candy buffet. she gave me free reign to do as i wish so i surprised her yesterday as she knew nothing of the colours details etc:) i did a coffee cake and some vanilla choc chip cupcakes as well and all the decor was items i collected or made up for her engagement. i really enjoyed doing it and my wonderful sister in law (who is down on holiday) helped me all the way:)

the food ,and desserts were by my cousins chillichocolate chefs and the cake n pops by me. i styled this using things i had around the house but kept it sweet and simple. i wanted my flowers to look like they have been gathered from the garden here which i why i did not get florist arrangements.

hot air balloon

My Baby turned one and i decided to host a small family lunch for those who love my kids and I. I decided to keep the theme simple and elegant and focus on some little details. i chose a hot air balloon theme and kept the colours blues whites with hints of green. i custom designed paper hot air balloons which i hung from the ceiling with some cute fluffy white pom poms. i also designed a hot air balloon cake topper and used paper flags on the desserts. for the desserts i had a yummy coffee cake,mini chocolate eclairs,pecan tarts,chocolate balls,chocolate covered nougat and some yummy breath 'sweetners' romantics. i kept the desserts simple as i served ice cream as well as a full lunch. I love simple elegant designs which are not too fussy yet are equally pretty.

We were asked to set up a dessert table for the sister of Miss S.A india Sheina kiyara gokool. Sheina and her sister have the most amazing place in hillcrest and they host gorgeous weddings at their venue. The sisters went for stunning black and white with pops of colour as their decor and had fun elements like a ribbon curtain, birdcages, lots of bright flowers, and windmills to tie in the theme. We set up a pretty simple dessert table to go with their theme, we provided cake pops,mini cupcakes, cookies a birdcage mud cake with lindt chocolate ganache. The sisers had a seperate candy table with lots of yummy sweets to entice their guests. we decided to bring in our own fun elements to add to this table as the wedding had a relaxed fun feel to it.
