Everyone knows that the best part of any party is the FOOD! We tend to go a bit overboard when it comes to planning party menus. Especially when it comes to desserts. But creating elaborate dessert tables is one of our favourite things to do! There are so many options when it comes to desserts, and having a huge assortment of choices truly elevates any event and will make your guests’ eyes light up as soon as they walk in the door.
When we create dessert tables, we try to have a mixture of larger desserts like cakes and pies, and smaller hand-held desserts like chocolate mousse cups, cheesecake parfaits and cupcakes. We love doing different designs for each cake. From a caramel drip cake, to an elaborate fondant-covered cake, to a flower covered naked cake. Variety is the secret to a truly great dessert table!
We also love mixing in bowls of candies for guests to snack on. A stack of colourful paper bags on the table makes the perfect packaging for a take-home treat for your guests! This is perfect for parties with kids, or kids at heart! We tend to have candy tables at all of our events, with or without children! I mean who wouldn’t love a big bag of candy to take home. Plus, you’ll get to keep any leftovers ;).
An extra detail that you can add to any dessert table is small chalkboard signs indicating what each item is. It adds a sense of rustic charm to your table, while providing guests with a description of what is available. This is especially helpful if you are offering any gluten-free, vegan, nut-free or other specialty options.
Finally, we always finish off every dessert table with an assortment of fresh flowers. Eucalyptus stems are gorgeous strewn around the table, while small bouquets make gorgeous accents beside the desserts. A stack of small plates and napkins, and little buckets of cutlery tie everything together. Your guests will be so excited walking into a party with a table full of desserts. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Can you believe tomorrow is the first day of March?? We’re one month closer to Spring! And one month closer to ALL the prettiest flowers. How pretty is this bundle with almost all of our favourites!

40 years old!! Never even in a million years thought I’d be celebrating this way lol. I had huge plans for a big trip with friends, a party, spending time with people in general 😆. But I’m not complaining. I’ll get to spend time with three of my favourite people, plus my crazy dog, cottaging it up locally and that’s all I really need 🥰.

If you had to choose, what would your FAVOURITE flavour of cake be? Mine would be a toss up between classic fudgy chocolate cake and this caramel drip toffee carrot cake. Although honestly, there aren’t many cakes I wouldn’t eat 😉.

Because we all need a flower break right about now 🥰. There’s been a lot of baking happening the last couple months, but it might be time to bring out some flower arrangements soon! Mother’s Day is just around the corner after all 😉.

Easter planning is underway! And we can’t wait to bake with these shimmery eggs! Funny story, as soon as I finished taking this pic I poured the eggs back in the bag and put them back in my chocolate hiding spot so that my hubbie wouldn’t eat them all. Please tell me I’m not the only one that has to hide the Easter chocolate? Lol ...
Happy Family Day from our family to yours! We hope everyone is having an amazing long weekend and for those in Southern Ontario, prepping for the storm later tonight! Just keep thinking, we’re one weekend closer to Spring 😉

A busy day of Valentine’s orders and snow in the forecast calls for a cozy evening in with a mug of tea and a movie. I’ve been rotating between horror movies and Disney+ but may have to switch back to Christmas movies soon 😆. If anyone has any amazing movie/tv show recommendations please share because I think I’ve watched everything about five times lol.
We hope everyone is having a wonderful long weekend! And make sure to stay warm!!
