I have a very special party request from my old customer who I designed her baby shower and her daughter’s first birthday. Her little Amanda is getting so big, I am taking my time to enjoy my little one, it breaks my heart to think she will also grow up and one day find her wings.
Today, I am helping out a fellow Instagram follower “Celebratesweetlygifts” . We meet a few years back during the NYC Fashion week 2017. Merley Greenidge is putting together a roaring 20’s fundraiser soiree on February 6 her colors are gold, black white and a touch of red. Since everything she is doing, is based on donations, we will be sending her out a few goodies. If anyone out there would be interested in helping her out please send me a message, doesn’t cost to ask right?? I figure we never know? lol
My first Party request! So exciting, I am actually helping an old client, I did a dessert station for her wedding and now I am helping her with her first baby’s birthday party. Congratulations Stephany and God Bless you and the new family.
We are in January but I need to make sure I have you prepared with ideas for a Valentines Party. My husband thinks Valentines should be celebrated for couples only, I obviously don’t agree with him lol.
You can use your favorite brownie recipe or your favorite packaged brownie mix. This makes approximately 6-8 heart brownies with lots of little brownie bites leftover.Ingredients:
Supplies Needed:
Directions:
First, put half of the container of frosting in a microwaveable-safe bowl. Heat it for about 15-20 seconds. You want it the consistency of melted chocolate so you can easily dip the marshmallows.
Once the frosting is melted, mix in a few drops of red food coloring.
Now, it is dippin’ time!
Put a valentine straw in the middle of a marshmallow and dip it in the frosting.
Let all the excess frosting drip off.
Now, dip the end of the marshmallow in the valentine sprinkles.
Once you have the bottom of the marshmallow full of sprinkles, set it on wax or parchment paper.
Once the frosting is set, put them in valentine-themed treat bags.
Heart Meringue Cookies
4 egg whites
2 1/4 cups confectioners’ sugar
pink gel food coloring (if you want them to be pink!)
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until foamy using an electric mixer. Sprinkle in sugar a little at a time, while continuing to whip at medium speed. Add a tiny drop of food coloring if using. When the mixture becomes stiff and shiny stop mixing, and transfer the mixture to a large pastry bag. Pipe the meringue out onto the prepared baking sheet using a large round tip or star tip in a heart shape.
Place the meringues in the oven and place a wooden spoon handle in the door to keep it from closing all the way. Bake for 2 1/2 hours, or until the meringues are dry, and can easily be removed from the pan. Allow cookies to cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
5 CREATIVE VALENTINES CAKES
The first day of the year is a very important day for me, with lots of mixed feelings, but definitely a day for changes. This is more than ever, last year we barely knew what was waiting for us, but this year … well I have a goal, to help you!
Yes last year, when the world was falling apart, in the middle of the chaos I found a new purpose. As many Americans had to reinvent and restart from the beginning from losing jobs to homeschooling, I found a way to help, to serve a purpose.
For the past 8 years, I been designing dessert stations, as a passion at first and later a full-time job. I became very good at it, I had the chance to work with amazing event planners and been to famous places. I literally had a dream job. But with the unfortunate event that the “party” world got hit last year, I saw this dream turn into a nightmare… But I woke up from this nightmare and I found a calling, I found a way to make a difference and still do what I love.
I decided to teach my followers, everything I had learned to help them to see how I see. To be able to make analyses, to understand, and consequently to do it themselves if it’s what they desire. So many people got financially affected, a lot of cut down on extra expenses, like the niche I was in. As parties got downsized, so did their budget for extra expenses which is totally understandable. But I believe a party is a perfect excuse to build memories with family and friends, So my goal is to help you build beautiful memories together. So, Let’s get this party started.
In my opinion, to be a good host, there are a few steps that should be important to learn. It’s not just about the food, a good host should be able to make their guest feel comfortable and be accommodating.
But before we can get to details about how to be a good host, it’s important to determine what kind of party is it? kids or adults? men or women? Believe me, it makes a difference, a kid’s party is very different from an adult party.
So before we get into it, let’s just analyze a simple list of must-haves from any party so we can make decisions.
Soon we will be getting more into details and analyzing all the points, so keep in touch!
