Fashionabel Dessert Bar

Ich war auf der Suche nach Cupcake Vorlagen für die Bachelorette Party einer Freundin.

Und habe dabei diese Seite entdeckt - mein Mund blieb einfach nicht zu - ein Traum!!!

The table was inspired by a Pucci print and include wonderful details. They used the custom print to create popcorn cones, cotton candy sticks, mini chocolate bars, and even a custom tablecloth. There were a variety of delicious kosher desserts and candies for this event, including caramel marshmallows with tulip sticks and chocolate covered pretzel bites.

Using this method you can make any laser printed image into a transparent one to use in your art! *I have only tried this with a laser printer so far!



Find the image you would like to transfer, and edit it so it is the size, color, and shape you want. You can make black and white images, the white will be completely clear, or you can make color images which will be transparent but still hold its color. Print out on plain paper or cardstock (cardstock will take longer to soak) with a LASER printer. Roughly cut out the image to prepare for the transfer.

I found these links, its fantastic, there a so many packaging templates!!!

Pezzi D'Amore - Brazilian Wedding Favors

I discovered these from the wonderful Bella Signature Design blog. These wedding favors are called "Bem Casados" or "Well-Marrieds" and they are the most traditional sought-after dessert at weddings in Brazil. Each Bem Casado is artfully made and is light, soft, airy and filled with smooth, home-made caramel bathed in a special sweet sauce. Each treat represents two united parts sealed by sweet love, support and mutual respect. According to legend, everyone who tastes them will be blessed with the happiness of newlyweds, so make a wish before you take a bite. Amen to that!

Wish tree

I like this idea!

Skip the traditional guest book and create a beautiful display out of your friends' and family's good wishes. I love the idea of asking guests to write their specific wishes or advice for you on the cards rather than simply signing their names and writing a generic congratulatory message. After your wedding, collect the cards in a nice chest or box for the perfect keepsake

or give it in a album!

I also found a tutorial on making the beautiful crystal wish tree shown below here.

Vespa Meeting in Graz, Austria

My husband loves Vespa.

Flying wish paper

How sweet ist this?

Just write your wish on the Flying Wish Paper, shape it into a tube,

light the top and watch as your wish burns down then dramatically rises into the sky.
