Nautical Dessert Table

I love the rustic appeal of this nautical dessert table by Jenny Cookies. The two tiered ruffle cake makes for a perfect focal point and Jenny did a great job with the nautical details. Just the right amount. You can check out more eye candy from Jenny Cookies here at Eylander Photography.

{ New Trend } Ombre Ruffle Cakes

I'm going to be honest and tell you that even though my daughter is only 4 months old, I'm already thinking about her 1st birthday. Obsessive compulsive, I know. I have been looking at different styles of cakes and I'm infatuated with ombre ruffle cakes!! The ombre color technique (using many shades of one color to create a faded appearance) is gorgeous and the ruffles...well, how do you not love ruffles?! Here are some images of the fabulous ombre ruffle cakes I have been saving. Isn't the first one by Maggie Austin to die for?!

{ Featured Party } A Spa Soiree

Are you familiar with the talented ladies from Anders Ruff? They are uber creative, have a super fabulous blog, and an amazing etsy shop . This Spa Soiree was created and styled by Adria Ruff for her daughter Brynne's 9th birthday. What a lucky birthday girl!! This soiree is down right adorable and full of inSPAration ;). I love how Adria removed the labels from store bought items and added her own customized labels and that many of the items were from $1 aisles! Check out the full post including details from Adria here.

Colored Layer Cake

Have you seen the new trend of coordinating the cake to match your events color palette? These cakes are popping up everywhere from weddings to kids birthday parties, and I think they are simply fantastic! . Here are a few I have seen over the last week. Martha Stewart offers up a quick and easy layer cake recipe and frosting instructions here.
