The Best Cake Stands

March 9, 2016

I might have a slight addiction to buying cake plates….but time and time again I go for my all time favorite classics.

1. MOSSER GLASS 10″ WHITE / 2. MOSSER GLASS 10″ PINK / 3. MOSSER GLASS 9″ BLACK / 4. MOSSER GLASS 9″ JADEITE / 5. RETRO DINER STAINLESS STEEL / 6. MARBLE and WOOD

I love the hand crafted solid quality of Mosser glass. The classic style has been around forever and will never go out of style. A couple of others that I seem to use often, the stainless steel retro diner look and the classic marble and wood.

Here are examples of these cake stands in use.

The White cake stand can be seen in almost all of my parties. I used lots of them at this colorful Unicorn Party to keep my dishes light and neutral with all of that color.

2. The Pink Cake stands were used at our Girl Scout Bridging Luncheon.

3. The Black were used for our Halloween Party. I have so many other uses for them coming up! With Black and white being so classic and on trend right now they will get used often.

4. The Jadeite Cake stands were used at our Girl Scout Bridging Luncheon and Vintage Santa’s Workshop Party. I plan to use them soon for Annabelle’s Science party and a sweet succulent inspired fiesta.

5. The stainless steel was perfect here at Retro Bowl-O-Rama and here at the Soda Pop Shoppe.

6. I do not have photos of the marble and wood in use. I do very often use it for cheese or charcuterie tray when entertaining.

Santa’s Workshop Party Ideas

December 18, 2015

Welcome to Santa’s Workshop! This year Annabelle and her friends kicked off the season with her 4th Annual Christmas Party. They were invited to the northpole! Each girl was given an “ELF” outfit prior to the party and they looked very adorable if I do say so myself! The North Pole, of course must have treats for the busy toy making elves. There was the Reindeer café, where the elves picked up cafeteria style soup, sandwiches and chips and also The North Pole Bakery, baked fresh daily by Mrs. Claus (well, actually my awesome sister made the sweet Christmas cookies, shhh).

We will start with everyone’s favorite….dessert! Welcome to the NORTH POLE BAKERY!

The reindeer café was a very casual cafeteria like set up featuring, Dasher’s Deli Sandwiches, Blitzen’s Broccoli Cheese Soup, Prancer’s Potato Chips and Rudoloph’s Rootbeer Soda.

Now for the fun! The girls, I mean, Elves, each painted a wooden toy. They wore “Official North Pole Toy Maker” aprons that I made by ironing my design onto red children sized aprons. They all were very creative and did a great job! Look at those serious faces! They took this job serious people.

Don’t forget the gift wrap station filled with lots of pretty paper and ribbons.

And when the party was all wrapped up, these girls were given a party gift of matching Chritmas PJs, because this was a sleepover! How cute are they! I actually got myself a matching pair, which you will not see pictured, but the girls LOVED it!
