Eight is Great - the sweets!


Next up from Graham's Disco party - the sweets! As a pastry chef, putting together the dessert table is always a passion for me. Since I knew the kids were going to be inundated with piƱata candy, I tried not to go too overboard. I created a 2 tiered fondant covered fresh strawberry cake, mini vanilla cupcakes, glitter dusted truffle pops and milk chocolate mousse cups. For the first time, I asked another baker to contribute. I am so happy I did! Sarah of Bird Treats created the most exquisite and delicious G & 8 sugar cookies. It was really nice to take one thing off of my plate! I already own a ridiculous number cake stands and platters, but I just had to buy the acrylic risers to complete the modern, clean look.

Still to come... favors & party pics!
