Eat meets West.......It's only jelly!







I love jelly.......I love blancmange in all it's stunning colours! Any party worth going to should have jelly!

At the London Fashion Week back in September 2010 they did just that........all the BEAUTIFUL PEEPS were treated to a fabulous party by official jellymongers Bompas & Parr........at the fashion show production of Tata Naka.

When you see fashion shows, presentations etc, you see a whole production and that's what this was a superb production featuring beautiful models, divine 1950's clothing and a spectacular jelly party!

I find it facinating how these productions are put together by such talented people........I mean where do they get the idea to team such beauty and elegance with........ jelly for heavens sake? The ever so smart party peeps were treated to the jelly party after the show. Fabulous jellies were served in vintage cups and saucers with no less.........than a silver spoon to scoop up the wobbly miniature creations.

The tables also had some stunning blooms in a spectacular range of colours as well as some very pretty vintage artefacts, just love the parrot. If you are lucky enough to be having a dessert table at your wedding why not include the jelly theme? Imagine all those colourful, jewel like puddings taking pride of place on the table.......a cupcake stand full of jelly, maybe we can start a new craze?

Divine.........enjoy!

Sushi cupcakes........sooooo clever!



Just so clever.........unbelievable sushi cupcakes!

Hello Sweety!



Gorgeous favour idea! Come on we all love those old fashioned sweets.......sugar mice, shrimps, coca cola cubes, rhubarb & custard........I could go on with my list but you get the idea?

I've found these very pretty boards that would hang on the wall at your reception venue. Colour co-ordinated packets of sweets have been pinned to each board for your guests to take. In this instance all the sweets are pinks and reds but you could use sweets that would match your colour scheme! I think they would look even better if each packet was personalised and the board had a big EAT ME sign at the top.........I love the very wide ribbon to hang the board on the wall and you could even follow this theme onto your cupcakes..........why not have them decorated with the same sweets?

Take the Stand



On my travels I've found some very sweet individual cupcake stands.......these would look fabulous on your wedding tables as a favour for each guest. They could even be boy, girl colour co-ordinated and to give them an extra touch you could tie a pretty ribbon around the cupcake stands stem (that was a mouthful)!
Take a look at hellohanna the stands are very reasonable, packed in sixes and they are made out of recycled paper.
