Pink, white and Black baby shower

It seems like the power of pink is all around me these days!. This pretty pink baby shower we styled in August, was inspired by my clients invitation. The brief was to include the funky black and white spotted pram in the design and to include as much pink as possible!!.

I love the candy pink and white stripe backdrop designed by Tammy of Little dance Invitations. The matching buffet labels and signage complemented the table beautifully and helped to tie in all the other elements created for this chic baby celebration.

The handmade gumpaste baby pram adorned the caramel mud cake and the dessert buffet included pram shaped lemon vanilla cookies, strawberry macarons and vanilla cupcakes and delish tim tam cake pops. 

As always, the candy buffet was a huge it! - the raspberry bon bons and strawberry jelly beans disappearing in record time.

A Huge thank you to the lovely Jo from Love that Photography for taking these gorgeous photos and helping me at the eleventh hour! x

Baby Elephant baby shower

I am so thrilled that my baby brother is going to be a daddy in the next few weeks.  And when he and his partner asked if I could help with the baby shower... well, I was very excited!.

My sister in law chose the very popular baby elephant printables designed by Style me gorgeous, for the invitations, buffet lables party spots and thank you spots.
I love love the baby elephant printables. This design was my inspiration behind the marble mud cake and colour palette for the sweets table.

To say that Studio Cake was soley responsible for the dessert table would be a lie... this was a family affair.. lol
From the design of the cake, to the elements on the table, Hailey was totally involved and very enthusiastic.. We had such a great time constructing the backdrop for the table. A very simple but effective ribbon background.

We wanted to keep the sweets simple and compliment the design of the printables, hence we chose ombre macarons (strawberry, raspberry and lemon), Tim Tam cake pops and a selection of yummy candy!

A very special thank you to my other wonderful sister in law Corrine for making the delicious yo yo's (my all time favourite sweet treat - scroll down for the recipe) and the vanilla cupcakes with buttercream swirl and lemon curd.
