I had the greatest pleasure of meeting one of the nicest people last week and also having the privilege of setting up her lovely daughter’s dessert table, this lovely person would be Dawn!

** Please do take note that the fondant centrepiece cake was not done by us **

As for the theme, I had 3 things to work around which was rustic, pastel-ish pink and chalkboards.

Theme: Pink, Green, Rustic, Woody

Some behind the scenes photos of the flower arrangements! I absolutely love the pop of yellow with the sage-y tones that the eucalyptus gives.

Aliah’s Housewarming Dessert Table

EthelLeave a comment

I’m probably like a broken record now, repeating myself, but I really REALLY love being apart of my friends’ big events in their lives especially when I provide them with desserts. I didn’t get to go down to arrange the table as I was teaching on this day. Popped by Aliah’s place 2 days before to just display the table and keep the flowers in the fridge. It always makes me feel happy when people can’t wait for the desserts and attack it while it’s being set up (according to Aliah, that’s why the cookies didn’t fill the top). Also, she couldn’t decide on the theme, so I chose it for her. Rustic and whatever caught my eye on that day, which was purple / grey toned flowers! I absolutely love it.

Pei Ying & Jia Hong’s Wedding Dessert Table

EthelLeave a comment

I get so excited every time one of my friends gets married (especially when they ask me to do up a dessert table for them)!

The theme of this dessert table was supposed to be aviation and the bride wanted it to be blue and white, but there was a budget so I didn’t want to go overboard with the props. We had to make do with what we had and made this very cute cloud cake topper that accompanied the strawberries and cream cake which was covered in blue/white ombre to look like the sky. The rest of the blue/white elements are mainly from the flowers as the rose and raspberry cake is so pretty I didn’t want to cover it with buttercream! Oh yes, the food tags are also hand painted and written, which were painted to mimic the colours of the sky from sunrise to midday.

A lot of people must be wondering what a london fog cupcake is! It’s an earl grey milk tea cake with a very heavily vanilla scented buttercream.

And what was also the people’s favourite that day was the Smores cupcake which was a rich chocolate cake with scatters of biscuit (made from scratch), dark chocolate filling and a toasty marshmallow meringue (my signature!) topping.
