<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We were asked to create a bright and fun bridal shower mad hatter tea party.Our client a young pediatrician left it all to us,which excited me. We did have a few glitches as the venue changed to the gorgeous green with envy restaurant so we had only an hour to set up before the guests </span></span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">arrived. I did not want a typical madhatter theme so i used bright an zany colours with lots of rabbits, quotes and a few hints of a typical mad hatter tea. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">im lucky to find these cute rabbits which i used everywhere i did my normal mad hatter styled cupcakes with all the usual stuff on them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These mini cupcakes were very simple for people to enjoy but i did make cute rabbit toppers to suit our theme.</span><br />
<br /> <span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">i love vintage and i could no resist bringing in a few aspects of it like my little tea set and the cute handpainted cookies </span>.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">we pulled some elements onto the tables to take the theme through. i added lots of typical alice in wonderland quotes as you cannot have a madhatter tea party without them!</span></div>

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.</p>zalitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13453440266562965154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344912626343838609.post-9971530218061989902013-09-17T03:01:00.001-07:002013-09-17T03:01:05.931-07:00birdcage cake<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/9636862408/" title="birdcage cake"><img src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2828/9636862408_d046549e24.jpg" alt="birdcage cake by {zalita}" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/9636862408/">birdcage cake</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/">{zalita}</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>the gorgeous birdcage cake was a lindt choc mud cake filled with a lindt choc buttercream and covered with fondant decorations.</p>zalitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13453440266562965154noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344912626343838609.post-23186400685699069812013-09-17T02:50:00.001-07:002013-09-17T02:50:40.220-07:00cake pops<div style="margin: 0 0 10px 0; padding: 0; font-size: 0.8em; line-height: 1.6em;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/9636867618/" title="cake pops"><img src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3698/9636867618_c810f3cb70.jpg" alt="cake pops by {zalita}" /></a><br/><span style="margin: 0;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/9636867618/">cake pops</a>, a photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/65668398@N00/">{zalita}</a> on Flickr.</span></div><p>these clever unique cake pops were designed by us and are custom made to suit your theme. these yummy lindt pops are covered in the yummiest lindt chocolate.</p>zalitahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13453440266562965154noreply@blogger.com0
