Sew Sweet: Candy Buttons

Ever since I saw this button-themed dessert table, I've been on the lookout for other creative, edible buttons. These candy buttons by Andie's Specialty Sweets are perfect. Each peppermint flavored goodie is so realistically detailed, that you'd probably have to convince guests to give them a try. Pastel colors not your thing? Don't worry, you can request custom colors.

I love how detailed each button is, and how easily they could be transformed from mints to cake decor. Simply secure these to a cake or cupcake with a generous helping of buttercream, and people will think you're a skilled baker.

Dessert Table: Cute as a Button

When I found this adorable button themed dessert table yesterday on Somewhere Splendid, I wondered "Why hasn't this been done before?" A button theme seems perfect for a kid's party, but I've never seen one before. This one designed by Sugar and Spice Specialty Desserts and captured by Tinywater Photograhy will be hard to outdo.

If you saw this post or this post, then you know I love when edibles are repurposed as bowls. In this case, blood orange rinds are used as sorbet cups.

You can see even more lovely images from this shoot at Somewhere Splendid.

10 Days of Craftsmas!: Day 1 - Rustic Rosette Runner

Today, we kick off the 10 Days of Craftsmas with the first project that Maddy of Somewhere Splendid and I designed. The Rustic Rosette Runner is an easy project that lends itself to rough edges and a deconstructed, unfussy look. The gorgeous rosettes would make a dynamic addition to a golden, glittering dessert table display.


This project is so simple, that Maddy was able to churn out a ton of these gorgeous, button-centered rosettes while leisurely watching Battlestar Gallatica!
