This Halloween, I think my girls are finally too old to trick-or-treat. (Cue the mom tears.) But I thought it might be fun for the girls to celebrate Halloween with their friends. And we know that kids love candy at every age! So I set up a little Halloween candy...
A multi-layer fondant cake that wows has it's place on dessert tables, but other times, you want quick, easy and inexpensive. But of course, you also want cute. These 3-D Christmas tree cake toppers provide the wow — quickly, easily and cheaply. Here's how to make...
Just like your body has a skeleton, a stunning dessert table backdrop needs some support. So today in Part 4 of The Party Teacher's 101 series: How to Style a Dessert Table, we're talking about adding a backdrop — and the support system and tools you need to do it...
Half the fun of the dessert table is dressing it up. Once you choose your menu, serving pieces and arrangement, you can have fun with tablecloths, runners, banners and buntings. We talked about adding non-food items to your dessert table in Step 2: Arrange Your...
There are TWO dessert tables: the one in your mind, and the one in reality. They don't always match. And there's a really good reason for that: the way you arranged your treats just isn't working. Maybe everything is too spaced out. Or maybe the arrangement lacks...
A birthday party used to mean cake and ice cream. Now, the dessert table is the norm among party-loving moms. Feeling stumped about how to plan a dessert table? Or maybe you've tried to style one and it didn't look quite right? Styling a dessert table does take some...
Last summer, my girls wanted to have a lemonade stand. They've never had one before, and pretty soon, it turned into a summer project -- and morphed into a neon snow cone stand to benefit The Confetti Foundation. We've turned this into an annual event, and I'll share...
This week is all about getting ready for our bake sale to benefit The Confetti Foundation. (Here's why I support them.) And since this is a one-woman-and-twins effort, we have spent a fair amount of time on Pinterest, looking for recipes that are (1) bake sale...
Today, I'm excited to welcome Roxana from Sugar-Sugar Cakes in Canton, GA. Roxana is one of my blog's lovely sponsors, and you've seen her work before in my parties, most recently the microphone cake pops from my girls' Country Music Awards Karaoke Party. Roxana...
This is the week of my much-delayed Gardening Party shoot. I've only wanted to stage this party for a year. Then we were going to shoot in May and got rained out. So we're bracing ourselves for the the June heat! I thought I'd share how I pre-stage my dessert tables....
What is not to love about today's guest feature? I love the crepe paper rainbow backdrop. I love the rainbow cupcakes. I love the cookies — stunning. So excited to share this eye candy from Michelle at Michelle's Party Plan It with you! Michelle designed the...
For our dinosaur party, I was looking for a new and better way to create a fabric dessert table backdrop. I usually use a pipe and drape system, or just attach fabric to Velcro on the back of my mirror, but that's just a pain. So what I needed was to cover a board in...

I thought I'd give you a peek behind the scenes today of how I set up a dessert table layout. One of the challenges you may face in getting ready for your party is limited time to set up. You have a vision in your head, but how much time do you have to execute it?...
I'm planning two parties right now — both indoors — that will have three "up against the wall" party backdrop opportunities. My head is swirling with possibilities ... we'll see if my skills can support my imagination! I think I'm going to have to call in my Vice...
For the University of Georgia's opening game, my sister-in-law hosted the family at her house. I volunteered to bring dessert, and it quickly turned into a UGA football dessert table, decked out in our team's red and black. I started with this terrific black and white...
