Circus cupcakes and more

We created many fun designs this weekend, including a circus themed display. This is a first time design for us, and I am so excited to share it with you! The picture was quickly taken before delivery, but the complete display was set up on a 4-tier tower mixing regular and mini cupcakes.

Going back a few weeks ago, I created a display for Trio Events who was part of the Plan a Baby Event in Hollywood. Inspired by the company's logo, Shawna (the owner and creative genius) worked her magic to create a whimsical owl forest. Here are some pictures.

(Divine) Pumpkin Cupcake

Our trip to the pumpkin farm last weekend

I never thought I would use divine to describe a pumpkin dessert. My mom and grandmas always cooked according to the French Canadian traditions, and pumpkin was no where to be found on any holiday table. Trough my years of sharing holidays with friends since living here, I have sampled many pumpkin pies, breads, puddings... It was just natural to introduce this flavor as the bright fruit is making a strong presence in the markets this time of year.

To my taste, I find that spices in pumpkin desserts can be overpowering. This treat uses a blend of spices to enhance the flavor of the fruit, from the bright orange flesh to the tasty seeds. The result is a fresh take on this classic flavor, with a moist pumpkin cake (made with organic pumpkin!) filled with a pumpkin spice mousse, topped with cream cheese frosting and brown sugar cinnamon roasted pumpkin seeds. Yum!

This flavor will be available at both locations until Thanksgiving. Enjoy!

A First Dessert Table

I am so thrilled to be posting those pictures today! This dessert table came to life with the help of my friend Laetitia, owner of Praline Bakeshop (he website is under construction, but I will let you know as soon as it is ready!), the well known specialty cookie vendor at the Century City farmer's market.

When we were asked to create a dessert table to celebrate a wedding anniversary, we combined our expertise to offer an array of delectable sweets. From the main two-tier cake to lemon tarts, English toffee bars, choux à la crème, white chocolate marshmallows, sugar cookies, French macaroons, and cupcakes (of course!), we had something to please every guests present to this family affair. So now the pictures...

Who can resisit a bowl of M&M?

At the Carousel

This display was created for a baby shower with a carousel theme. My dear client created an outstanding decor with antique carousel horses and toys, enormous candy jars, the most beautiful balloon arrangements. Since I have had issues with my camera and to my greatest disappointment, I had to rely on my phone to snap those pics... I wish I could have shared the amazing details of the room with you!
