Rainbow Dessert Table

Planning my kids’ parties and significant events are always the highlights of my year.  Yet, seeing time fly by is so bittersweet:)  I was so happy to be able to capture some of the best parts of this fabulous, sunny day celebrating the birthdays of my two boys (ages 1 and 3 but ONLY a day apart…people can’t even plan that if they tried).  They are blessed with so many friends/family memebers and I wanted to be sure that we accomodated all the different ages of the guests.  Something for everyone!  Hope you enjoy viewing some of the details of this special day…

SOME UNIQUE DETAILS:

We designed and created the invitation, posters, banners, and coordinating labels and favor stickers.  The rainbow tissue garland, mini balloon backdrop, and personalized t-shirts were new do-it-yourself projects, as well.

Art Party Cake and Cupcakes

I made sure to order six different flavors of delectable cupcakes from Little Sweet Cakes.  Shown above are caramel french toast.  They should not be allowed to bake and sell something so delicious!  Did I mention that Little Sweet Cakes is our cupcake baker??!!  You might just have to be sure to order cupcakes for the next dessert table we design for you!

Candy + Sweet Treat Dessert Table {Mitzvah Madness}

January 6, 2012 1 Comment

I love what I do, and do what I love and this was one event that encompassed it all!  This Candyland Bat Mitzvah pulled out ALL the bells and whistles; I was honored to be part of it.  This is what over 20 feet of candy + desserts look like…

Candyland Birthday Pink Candy Buffet Station The eye CANDY of the evening came as the guests exited the nightclub and entered the bar that was closed down and solely devoted to the table of goodies.  They were greeted by a heavenly table of sweets, designed and executed by CW distinctive DESIGNS.  The Candy and Sweet Treat Dessert Table, logo, and displayed artwork coordinated together.

I was so honored to be able to design the labels and graphics for the table myself, as well as provide the ideas for the artwork pieces that were showcased, featuring the guest-of honor.

Every single element of the table was precisely thought through, coordinating with the theme and cohesively bringing the event together.

{Carnival-Style} Candy Buffets

May 22, 2011 1 Comment

Recently CW distinctive DESIGNS was asked to create a carnival-themed candy buffet for a beautiful little girl’s Communion.   

Although the party’s colors included purples, pinks, and greens, the mother had an excellent idea to go in a different direction for the boldly-colored candy buffet table.  For a person who loves to coordinate everything, I had some reservations; but, it worked perfectly!  It brought some flair to an elegant event.  I felt this table was “blog-worthy” because of the fun factor, and wished to share some party ideas for others.  What a unique theme for an outdoor party,  rustic location or, even, a simple backyard barbecue?

Some simple carnival elements were used in “distinctive” ways.  What is a carnival without cotton candy and popcorn?  Freshly-spun cotton candy was served in a package adorned with a personalized label.  Brightly-colored red popcorn was served in large carnival-styled bins that featured the carnival stripes that were used to tie everything together.

Candy Kabobs made with gummy sour belts topped with marshmallow hot dogs intrigued many people.  Peanuts were used in displaying the flowers.

Gianna’s sign highlighted the striped awning to mimic a “Big Top” tent.  

Additional embellishments included raffle tickets, candy button sticks, whirly and unicorn pops, a gumball machine, and LEDs that highlighted the table as the venue’s lights were dimmed.

Need a carnival-themed candy buffet at your next function?  Or, perhaps, this inspired another theme that you need help with.  Contact CW distinctive DESIGNS for your Candy Buffet or Sweet Treat Dessert Table.

{Sweet Treat Dessert Table} *NEW LAUNCH*

January 17, 2011 5 Comments

 

Cheryl of CW distinctive DESIGNS is excited to*LauNch* the new Sweet Treat Dessert Table! This time it’s part of a teal & brown {Winter Wonderland-Inspired} Baptismal Celebration for her son.  Who better to test out the new edible craft, but her family and friends!

In keeping with the theme, Cheryl came up with unique + clever ways to incorporate her design.

Tissue Pom Poms were attached to the wall to add dimension and color.  This DIY project tutorial is featured on CW distinctive DESIGNS’s blog.

Continue viewing for images and details as told by Cheryl…

The INSPIRATION for the sweet treat table was a modern teal and brown invitation ordered from Tiny Prints and a color-coordinating cardstock that was chic and fun!  The centerpiece of the sweet treat dessert table was an unbelievable 4-tiered cupcake stand displaying my FAVORITE current OBSESSION – sTuFFeD cUpCaKeS!  I made cupcake wrappers, and the cupcakes were adorned using DIY toothpick labels.

Candy choices included: dark chocolate covered pomegranates & blueberries, chocolate covered pretzels, Ferrero Rondnoir chocolates, gummy cola bottles, and sour gummy raspberries

Guests were able to enjoy the desserts throughout the celebration, and take some home for an enjoyable favor in a frosted cupcake box that were sealed with a petal hook.

The DIRTcups were personalized with petal-shaped cut-out stickers. I designed and created all the stickers and labels. I love using varying shapes and sizes to add to the design! 

Caramel popcorn clusters filled the homemade cardstock candy cones.

Other dessert treats included: chocolate-dipped hazelnut wafers, brownies, Reese’s dessert bars, & cream puffs
