Happy Birthday Princess Jaslyn!

Happy Friday dear readers!  For once, I am sitting in a well known cafe, with my laptop open, looking studious (I'm sure...because I'm Asian and I have a Macbook open...inside a coffee shop...).  Although I'm not studying like the many, many people here with their laptops open.  Instead, I'm finally getting caught up on my blog posts (...well, trying to!).  I just copied more photos onto my blog post file....and boy, it sure is growing!  The amount of posts I still need to write is astronomical at this point, but no worries, dear readers...I shall persevere, write those posts, and try to keep you entertained with all my blabbering.  Anyways, it's pretty unusual for me to be out on a Friday night.  In fact, it's pretty rare for me to be out, period.  And look at that...I'm actually out out on a Friday night.  Party animal that I am.  Whooo....Just kidding.  I actually had a dessert table set up here in Long Beach this afternoon and am waiting for the wedding to be over before breaking down the set up.  Here's a teaser for you...it was a "Day of the Dead" themed wedding!  The venue was pretty awesome and it went perfectly with the couple's theme...look out for that blog post coming soon!

Today's post is at the opposite end of the spectrum.  If you haven't gathered yet from the title, today's post is all about pinks and princesses!  My client, Jasmine, had contacted me about her daughter's first birthday party a loooong (long!) time before her daughter's party.  She was definitely doing the planning right!  Gave herself plenty of time to get everything perfect!  And boy, she did a fantastic job! Jasmine ordered some yummy desserts from me and did the entire set up/layout of the table herself.  I must say, she is one crafty chick!  Check it out!

Isn't this fabulous??  The venue was absolutely beautiful.  It was held in a clubhouse out in Irvine.  The decorations were beautiful and the desserts looked yummy!  I was commissioned to make macarons, cupcakes, vanilla popcorn balls, cake pops, rice krispy treats, and fortune cookies.

These are some yummy vanilla chiffon cupcakes.  They are lightly sweet, topped with whipped cream, decorated with pink pearls, sitting inside a tiara wrapper. 

 I made some chocolate cupcakes and fondant tiaras.  Jasmine wanted everything princess for her little princess so I hand-made these tiaras.  They are super simple, but the metallic pink pearls lent an understated elegance to such simplicity. 

 Customized fortune cookies in shades of pink.

 Some delicious macarons in shades of...you got it...pink!

These rice krispy treats were cut out in tiara shapes.  I then put small pearls at the tips of the tiara so that it more resembles a tiara!  And of course, I decked it out with pink sprinkles!

This was a super fun event to cater.  If you haven't noticed yet, I love, looove pink...so I definitely had a blast doing the birthday event!  Happy birthday Princess Jaslyn!
