A Bridal Shower in Paris

One of the girls that I work with is getting married this summer & today we threw her a bridal shower at our office. She is going to Paris for her honeymoon so the whole shower was Parisian themed! Everything from the napkins to the desserts screamed Paris - and every bit of it was a pleasure to the eyes & the tummy!

Everyone in our department (as you can tell, we work in the Creative Department) pitched in and contributed something for this great event. Below is just a small sampling of the lovely treats that were there. I, of course, made cupcakes with Parisian toppers. I was so impressed & inspired by the talents of my co workers. Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!

Bridal Showers & Bling Bling

I had not one, but two bridal showers to attend today & both were so lovely!

It is so nice to spend time with family and friends to celebrate such a beautiful milestone in someone's life.

I was asked to make cupcakes for one of the showers to which I gladly agreed to do! I had so much fun making these!

These are white cakes with almond butter-cream frosting topped with candy pearls & white chocolate diamond rings adorned with sparkling white sugar crystals.



I added "bling" to these white chocolate rings by painting the top of the chocolates with royal icing and sprinkling sparkling sugar on them. Sparkles like a diamond!


The groom's mother brought these adorable cupcake-to-go boxes which she then decorated herself with ribbon & fabric cupcake appliques! Adorable!
