Sweet High Tea
Today i had the pleasure of
styling a high tea dessert table for my lovely sister in law Chrissy. We could
have not asked for a better day, the weather was absolutely beautiful
and sunny and the guests had an absolute blast. It was so lovely to spend the morning
with family and friends, eating scrumptious sweets and drinking
delicious T2 turkish apple and strawberry and cream ice tea. I
have to admit I have a soft spot for tea parties and I decided to incorporate
my love for vintage mismatched china. I just love the versatility of these tea
cups, not only I used them as vases but I also hung few of them up and created
a soft backdrop. Dewi created the most beautiful cake as well as red
velvet cake pops and delicious butter cream ruffle cupcakes which everyone loved. xx

Katerina's Christening Dessert Table
Elegant,
sophisticated and dreamy is how I am going to describe our latest Christening
dessert table which we styled together with Dewi of Sweet Bloom Cakes. For
those of you who know me well, you would know that I have a soft spot for this elegant and dreamy colour palette {dove grey
and peachy pink}. Ruffles
and lace go hand in hand and I believe we executed the theme beautifully.
This is the lovely feedback from our client Effie: “Thanks so much for helping make Katerina's
Christening such a memorable occasion! I was extremely impressed with your
styling, everything looked amazing! I missed the entree as so many people were
coming up to me to share how impressed they were with the dessert table and our
table centrepieces :) I've even had texts and calls today regarding how lovely
everything was. The cakes were delicious please thank Dewi also! Thanks again
for your creativity, I've passed on your details to quite a few guests, I'm
sure they will be in contact soon xo”

Travel Around the World
We are so delighted to be a part of the virtual Mother’s Day
e-vent hosted by Jacki from Blissfully Sweet in honour of her mum who passed
away 10 years ago. What a lovely way to commemorate this
special day and also is a great tribute to all mums out there.
Around the world theme
was perfect for Dewi and I as we both love to travel, especially if it involves
Paris. Essentially we wanted to combine the three main elements, trip around
the world, our passion for Paris and also add a touch of femininity to the
mix. The hues of sailor blue, lipstick
red and latte brown complimented each other brilliantly. We used vintage
suitcases, chalkboard frames, wooden drawer, mix of red and clear hobnail
stands to created different heights to the table and also to accentuate the
beautiful cakes and desserts.
What a better way to
celebrate Mother’s Day than treating yourself with a slice of mouth-watering
sugar rose petal cake followed by red velvet cake in jar! We used a beautiful white
embossed ceramic jug to display the beautiful blooms which added a touch of
rustic French charm to the table. The vintage map was a
perfect way to highlight the trip, starting from Sydney all the way to Dubai,
London, Berlin, Paris, Milan, Skopje, Athens, New York, Bahamas and back to
Sydney. Adding small details such as
handmade passport, plane tickets, postage stamps cake bunting, mini airmail
envelopes and world globes was a perfect way to tie the travel theme together.
It was a pleasure working with Shannon from Willow Art Company as she captured every emotion and every
vignette beautifully.
Bon Voyage!
Meet Dalia from Tiny Tots Toy Hire
It’s been a
while since we did the last yummy mummy post and I would like to introduce you
to the lovely Dalia of Tiny Tots Toy Hire. Dalia is the mastermind behind this
lovely business and her passion and enthusiasm towards her business is
outstanding. I met Dalia over a year ago at the handmade markets and she has a
beautiful and friendly nature and she is constantly updating her range of
products to keep up to date with the latest trends.
Tiny Tots is a
Sydney based toy hire business that specializes in providing countless hours of
fun for your children’s party. They have an amazing range of toys and variety
of activities including climbing, sliding, riding, jumping to encourage
imaginative play. As a parent I know how hard it is to keep the children entertained
particularly the young toddlers that are too little to understand some of the party
games or having to share some of the toys so this is where Tiny Tots Toys Hire
comes to rescue. Best thing is they deliver right to your door, set it all up,
then come back to pick up when you’re done. Enjoy the interview xx
- Tell us
a little about YOU, the woman behind {Tiny Tots Toy Hire}?
Hmm… what can I tell you? I’m a mother of two and a wife of one! I love what I do and am an extremely passionate person. Oh and I am slightly obsessive compulsive when it comes to my business. - What was the most rewarding thing that has
happened in your career so far? As
clichéd as this sounds, every day is a reward! Looking back at how far
we’ve come in such a short time always feels amazing. But I would say the
best is yet to come.
- Can you tell us your favourite handmade item
you have brought recently?
I am in love with kids’ handmade designer markets like Mathilda’s and Little Bambini Markets. I just bought my little girl the sweetest little top by Ju Ju Creations. Coincidently found out the mummy creators were clients of ours too! - Name one product you can’t live without? And
why?
Vaseline! Not glamorous at all I know, but I can’t handle the feeling of dry lips! - Name your top 3 favourite products from your
store?
That’s a hard one as all the items are chosen by me and I only hire things I love and approve of! Let’s make it four… The lolly shop canopy display, the ball pit, the French cart and the famous kids bubble chairs. - Name your three favourite party themes and
tell us what do you love about them?
Any theme can be amazing if styled properly! Some great ones i’ve come across lately have been a Laloopsy dolls party, a Construction party held mid renovations in a “ditch” in the backyard and I’ve always loved the gorgeous High Tea soirees. - What is your day-to-day like?
Two words… insane and juggling-act! With two kids and two businesses, life is never boring. It takes a lot of organisation, flexibility, and drive to get through every day. It really couldn’t be done if I wasn’t absolutely in love with and passionate about what I do. At this point, I have to say it would not be possible without my amazing husband and equally amazing mother. Support is very important to avoid burn out! - Any advice for mum’s out there looking to
throw their first party?
Start by choosing a theme relevant to your child and what they love, pay attention to the small details as they will really make the day more special and personal, serve a healthy lunch to the kids (nothing fried!) and make sure you have activities organised for all the kids – even the babies - so that the parents can have a good time too. Lastly, pre organise for someone else to take photos and film the day as you won’t have time! - What does the future hold for {Tiny Tots Toy Hire}? Where do you see yourself in 3 years from
now?
We have big plans! I don’t want to reveal too much but it can only get bigger and better. Definitely keep expanding our already huge range of toys and props, franchising and basically becoming the “go to” place for anyone hosting a child related event – whether it be a small backyard birthday party or a huge family friendly corporate event! - What is your favourite place in the world?
Anywhere my family and friends are.
