Pretty-Pastel Animal Safari Dessert Table

This is a long overdue post from our past event for baby Mikayla. She's the cutest and adorable little baby girl; full of smile and laughter. Ooops.. she's was not a baby any more.. she turned one year old!! We were so eager to celebrate the first year of her sweet life with lots of colour and fun. 

The theme chosen was pretty-pastel animal safari. We designed the cutest hippo, giraffe, lion and elephant characters. We created a fun and pretty scene with pretty pastel colours of pink, yellow, green and orange. 

We surely had a lot of great time designing and creating Mikayla's dessert table. So many delicious, sweet and tempting little treats to offer.  We filled up colourful balloons with helium and used them as background for the table.

             

In the centre was the cutest birthday cake according to the theme. Two tiered chocolate cake was covered with pastel colour fondant. The top tier fondant was embossed with swirl design and the girl name was stamped on to a fondant plaque. On the top of the cake was Mr. Giraffe and Mrs. Elephant. Little Miss Hippo sat on top of the second tier cake which was decorated with fondant ribbons and embellished with hearts and bow-tie fondants. Cute mini fondant buttons was scattered around the bottom of the cake together with Mr. Lion which is holding a pink heart. 

Then there were lots of yummy little treats. Assorted mini macaroons, fairy cookies, colour block crispy wafer,vanilla cream puff, cake pops, chocolate kisses were some of goodies.

Mini cupcakes with custom cupcake toppers were a big hit. So was also the tree colour jelly in cups and the so-mouth-watering chocolate brownies. And for those who was after a cold and sugary drink, chilled strawberry soda cream  dripping from the mason jar dispenser would surely satisfy the thirst.

All the menu cards and cupcake toppers were designed according to the theme. A "sweet table" banner were hang at front of the table and finally, a bunch of tulips and calla lilies added a sweet touch to the centre of the table. 

Happy first birthday Mikayla! We were grateful and so blessed to be part of your birthday celebration. Wishing you much joy and happiness on the coming years.

Stay tuned for the next post as we reveal more from Mikayla's birthday party. If you would like us to design and create dessert table for your event, drop us an email and we'll be in touch. 

The Story of Rafa and Pooh and Friends

"Chapter Two".

Winnie the Pooh and Friends are one of kids’ favourite Disney characters.  The kids love and adore their stories and books, more over the soft toys and figures. A very special boy, Rafa, also loves Winnie the Pooh and Friends. Last month, he began to write a new chapter in his life as he turned 2. We celebrated his birthday with a  “Winnie the Pooh and Friends” party.

We designed a simple desert table with a touch of wood and yellow as a main colour. The bright yellow colour suits Rafa’s character; a cheerful, active and happy boy. While the woods create natural look and atmosphere, it seems as if Pooh and friend are in a jungle.

For the sweet, we made pancakes with variety of toppings- jam, honey and peanut butter. Kids love it as they can choose and mix the topping by themselves. Cupcakes with Pooh cupcake topper, strawberry chocolate, flavour jelly, yogurt and puddings are also kids favourites  Parents enjoy the special home-made brownies while they were watching their kids play.

The birthday cake was a giant “honey” cupcake which was placed at the centre of the dessert table. It was made with great details and perfectly suited as a centre piece.

In the end of the party, Rafa and Pooh gave little gifts for their friends.  The brown paper bag is filled with snacks, juice and lunch box. We personalised the gifts using custom labels for the snacks and juice bottle. And finally, we sealed the bag with a thank you note and Pooh sticker tag.

It was truly a great beginning of "Chapter Two" in Rafa's book of life. We look forward to write more chapters in Rafa's book and share it all with you. 

Super Hero Baby Bday Bash

Super Rafa is calling other super heroes to rescue his first birthday party. Powerful drink invitations were sent to all captains, wonders and the incredible. The party details were designed on the bottle label with super R emblem on the front side. In addition, Super R emblem was screen printed on a red silk cape and fastened on the neck of the bottle.

For the party, what would be more fun that helium gas for little kids? We get super-heroes- colour (i.e. red-yellow-blue ) balloons to decorate the venue. Then we created what would be the most fun and yummiest ‘recharge station’ for all super heroes out there. The table were dressed up with navy blue cover and brighten ups with colorful ribbons. We then hang the spelling of “RECHARGE STATION” signs on to the ribbons. 

The cupcake topper and buffet menu were also custom made.  A baby R super hero birthday cake is proudly presented at the centre of the table. Jelly and mini cupcake were a hit among the heroes. Wafer cone filled with choc mouse were place on to a rice-filled tray. Giant glass dispenser were filled with chilled lemon tea and orange juice was kept cold in a tin bucket of ice. We created a colourful fresh flower arrangement in a white tin vase to add sweet touch.

And don’t forget to bring home the Red goodie bag with yellow super R emblem on it.

Happy Birthday to Super Kid in town!

Scarla Jewellery Exhibition

When two of our good friends at SCARLA Jewellery decided to throw a jewelry party, we just couldn’t resist participating, what girl doesn’t love their baubles?  We created a dessert table for the guests to enjoy, we decided on black and white for the color palette based on SCARLA’s signature color. 

We always want to do a baroque theme with a touch of glamour and the timing couldn't be more perfect. The backdrop consists of string crystal beads. We designed a dessert tag fasten it using black ribbon finished with classic embellishment to add luxury feel. Each stand is covered with baroque wrapping paper and a diamante strap. Apothecary jars, classic frames and candles added for elegant tone. The guests also treated with thank you gift filled with chocolate and vanilla cookies. 

We surely enjoy the event, nothing better than an evening spent chatting up with friends over gorgeous jewels.

hip-HIPPO-ray fabulous birthday party..

Remember our sneak-peek last few months about a fabulous 1st birthday party? Now is the full version from Mommy 'D'.

It's been said so many times; "time flies when you have fun". Well, it really does. I can't believe that it has been a year since my daughter was born. It feels like just couple weeks ago. Now she's ONE year old. It's been 12 months of joy. It's trully been a year worth celebrating. Then it's the time to plan a cheerful and fun birthday party for her.

When it's time to decide a birthday theme, I look at things that she loves the most. She has this hippo-push-toy that she really likes named "Mr. Hippo". She learns to walk pushing Mr. Hippo. Sometime she stumbles but we always encourage her to get up and try again. In the end, she successfully walk on her own really early at the age of 11 months; all thanks to Mr. Hippo. So I decide to have a "hip-HIPPO-ray" party with pink and yellow as the colour theme. Its cute, girly and fun...

The first thing is to create a hippo birthday invitation. Our creative designer sketch the hippo herself. Initially she has several version of hippo. One hippo with a really thick hair (to resemble my daughter's thick hair) is really funny. But in the end we decide on the hippo wearing a party hat, holding a ballon and blowing a candle on the birthday cake. I created a half circle garland using colourful paper mounted on thick double tape to create a 3D effect. The cardstock used has a nice pattern and the colour compliment the theme. A map of the party location is attached to the other side of the cardstock.

Custom designed hip-HIPPO-ray invitation

The most exciting part is the envelope. I don't want an ordinary envelope. So I get a pink vellum paper and I machine-stitch the edges to create a little pocket. The address tag is also stitch along the edges. Overall, a really nice invitation that sets the mood of the party.

For the party decor, I repeat the half-circle garland from the invitation. I make a bigger version using lots of colourful papers. I put it on her high-chair.. at front-door.. on top of the dessert table.. and on top of the doors in the house.. We make a big "A" sign on the front door using a pompoms. It turn out really nice..

Did I mention a "dessert table"? Yess.. we create a dessert table full with delicioussss yumminess. In the centre of the table is a really cute HIPPO birthday cake created by one of our talented friend. Colourful wooden alphabets spell my daughter's name. Cupcakes, tiramisu, brownies, cream puff, rice-pudding is on the menu. The drink dispenser is filled with sweet "happy-soda" which is soda water mixed with strawberry syrup and condensed milk.

The wonderful and mouthwatering dessert table

The cupcake toppers and buffet labels are specially designed. I love the 10 cupcake toppers designs. There are two designs for the food labels; the sweet dessert has pink with cute ribbon label, whilst the savoury food has yellow with hippo head label. A "Please enjoy" sign is placed on to the dessert table so guest can take as much as they want.

Food buffet labels; savoury and sweets.

Pink and yellow plate is a must for a yellow and pink party! We create a empty name-label and stick it to drinking glass so each guest can write their names and don't mix glasses with each other. We prepare lollies bags for children who come to the party.. We design two 'thank you' tags; yellow for the boys, pink for the girls.

Serving tables, lollies bag, and guest cup name label

I want to make sure every guest has something to take home that they remember from my daughter's party.. Whilst the children receive their lollies bags, adults and babies also receive personalised 'thank you' gifts. My daughter is the first one in her group who turn one year old. So she has lots (I count up to 10 babies) of babies friends. I created bibs with 'hip-hippo-ray' design. For the aunties, we designs pins with writing : Audrey's pretties/hottest/cutie/finest/fave/etc etc aunty. For the uncles, it is Audrey's coolest/superb/smart/super/etc etc uncle. We make sure the right uncle and aunty get the right pins. Of course, there's only one "lovely" mum and one "huggy" dad pin.

Custom made bibs and pins for guest gifts

In the end, we have a great time.. Everyone enjoy the food and each other company.. My daughter was too excited that she got tired and sleep halfway the party.. She slept when I hold her.. then she wake up with a big smile.. ready to open up all the pressieesss that she got.

Thank you to all aunties, uncles, and my daughter's friends... for celebrating Audrey's wonderful first year!

Thank you to DECYGN for the creativity and teamwork to create such a memorable moments.
