For Like Ever...

Good morning lovelies and Happy Valentine's Day! I am so excited to share our Valentine’s Day dessert table, styled collaboratively with Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes which has been featured on Amy Atlas today. We absolutely love this time of the year. February serves as a gentle reminder that, not only is love all around us, but there are also plenty of people, places, and things to love, care for. Our aim was to create a dessert table with a vintage look and feel inspired by the “For like ever” poster! Vintage touches mixed with modern flair shows that your love really will last "For Like Ever".

Our colour palette was a playoff of the traditional colours seen around Valentine’s Day with a twist towards the muted and vintage. We used soft dusty peach, dove grey and combined it with a brighter shade of lavender to bring in a punch. The rustic/raw grey back wall was a perfect backdrop which tied in perfectly with the galvanized pedestals and added a cool industrial texture to the dessert table. The mouth-watering cake, cupcakes and heart shaped macarons were made by Dewi and were displayed on the industrial trestle table, which I absolutely love. Have a wonderful day lovelies xx

{Announcement}

We have two exciting news to share with you today! Firstly, I would like to announce the launch of Sweet Bloom Cakes NEW website designed by Bubblefish design. And this is how Dewi describes the tale of "Sweet Bloom Cakes":

“One cup passion, a teaspoon of enthusiasm, a pinch of love, with a large dash of quality, Sweet Bloom Cakes once was a recipe that I craved. After the refining and mastering of recipes and flavours over the years I have been able to put together a delectable range of cakes and baked sweets for the market to enjoy. Being a very family orientated individual I feel that the kitchen is the heart of my home. This passion has been the driving force to introduce Sweet Bloom Cakes into the market. Believing an artist has a paint brush, a singer a voice, and a sculptor a chisel my tool is my humble wooden spoon. My art for decorating and innovating new cakes and baked goods has been a full bodied passion. I have always baked for friends and family, believing in the feedback I received I finally allowed my drive and passion to manifest into something bigger, Sweet Bloom Cakes. The story is humble, and very heart filled, every bite entices a salutation to my passion”. 

I would like to congratulate Dewi on the beautifully designed new website which showcases some of the most beautiful cake designs i have ever seen. Click here to view the website!

Secondly, i would love to announce that My Little Jedi and Sweet Bloom Cakes have joined forces and will be styling events together. For the past few months Dewi and I have work on various projects and stylistically we both have a thorough appreciation of patterns and colours and we both share a passion for vintage style. 

We have so many exciting events lined up and we cant wait to show you more of our work. If you would like to have your next special event styled by MLJ & SBC please send us an email.  We will take you ideas and add to them, to ensure they all come together cohesively and creatively.

We look forward to celebrating with you! 
Vesna & Dewi xx

Love affair with geometric patterns

You will have to excuse me, as you are about to witness my latest love and obsession with another geometric pattern. I have to admit, I am a sucker for a good geometric pattern and while I used to be obsessed with chevron, I’ve recently found my taste progressing to this gorgeous triangular shape. I have handpicked few of my favourite triangular inspired pieces above including my own printable invitation which was inspired by this lovely trend. I am in love! xx

Love is in the air...

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, love and romance is in the air and I cannot wait to share with you the many ideas I have brewing for this most wonderful day, but first… a little inspiration for a day filled with the word "love"!  xx

Sew n Love

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, but I’d like to think that we need to show more love and affection than just once a year. There are so many different ways to express feelings of love on Valentine’s Day, some are sweet, some sentimental and others pure festive. I have to admit, I am completely smitten with today’s Valentine’s Day submission from the lovely Larissa of Sweet on Parties.  This charming Vintage “Sew n Love” Dessert Table is executed beautifully. What I love the most about this dessert table was the inspiration behind the shoot.

Larissa said: This Valentine’s Day Dessert table was inspired by my grandmother's wooden sewing box which l found hidden away in the back of my closet! I thought it would be ideal to display desserts in so l started to think of a table that could incorporate my passion for baking and my grandmothers passion for sewing and cross stitch and came up with Sew N Love.  I loved the idea of creating a table with a shabby chic feel and thought a quilt backdrop would be ideal for this theme.  I used a canvas and various patterned papers in floral, chevron, tartan and dot print along with paper rosettes and doilies to complete this Sew Sweet backdrop.  I wanted this table to be feminine but with a masculine edge so l used shades of brown, red, pink and green.

I made all of the desserts which included Caramel Kisses, Choc Fudge Cake Pops, Triple Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Bean Cookies, Vanilla Cupcakes, Raspberry Melting Moments and Salty Sweet Caramels as well as buying some sugar heart candy and chocolate bars wrapped in Sew n Love wrappers.  I continued with the Sewing theme and used embossing mats to create fondant toppers to resemble material and adorned these with handmade material rosettes and shimmer fondant buttons and pearls. I also made up some lovely favours to take home which were "Fill my heart with love" pin cushions in a red and green spotted felt along with the pattern, needle, thread and stuffing.

I am Sew n Love with this table and l hope you love it too! xx

Pink & Vintage White Christening

What a lovely way to start the New Year! Today, i had the pleasure of styling a dessert table for a little princess and let me tell you, everything look absolutely perfect! The Christening was held at the St. George Sailing Club and the waterfront views created the most magnificent backdrop. The theme of the christening was elegance and glamour and me as a stylist portrayed this through the choice of soft pink and vintage white palette, soft flowers and use of lace.

From the beautifully handcrafted lace cookies, elegant lace cake, divine rose pink cupcakes, every detail tied in perfectly with the theme. Each child received a party bag with some delicious treats. For the bonbonnieres, I used mini apothecary jars which I purchased via Sweet Style and I filled them up with cookies and embellished them with personalized scalloped tag and ribbon.

Luscious Wedding by Sweet Bloom Cakes

I am the girliest of girls and when it comes to weddings, I’m all about the ruffles, lace, pretty floral arrangements and amazingly styled dessert tables. Having said that, Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes never seems to disappoint with her impeccable style!  I would like to thank Dewi for giving me the opportunity to share this amazing wedding, infused with sweetness and style into every detail. 

The wedding was held on the 30^th December 2011 at the Berowra Water Inn and I had the pleasure of designing the printables for this gorgeous event. All of the flowers coordinated with the colour palette of red, antique white and teal. As Dewi described, every single detail was truly a labour of love filled to the brim with vintage details and hand crafted style. Enjoy xx
