Holiday Desserts for The Young + Young at Heart

Entertaining over the holidays? What a great surprise for your guests. I would fill a round glass container with all red m+m's or jelly beans and then place the sticks in for easy serving and a clean presentation.

April Reed's Modernist Gingerbread House

Congratulations to our friend and very talented colleague April Reed!

The New York Times recently featured April's gingerbread version of Mies van der Rohe's mid-century masterpiece, The Farnsworth House:

The Farnsworth recently sustained major flood damage - 15% of proceeds will
be donated to their restoration effort. To order, contact April Reed.

Cupcake Stand

I stumbled across the site, Cake Journal, this morning and wanted to share.....The site gives great instructions on how to make this cupcake stand on your own. A great DIY project which could be done in so many different fabrics/papers!

I just photocopied a sketch of a cake for a wedding we are producing this May to send to the other design collaborators for their reference and I found myself captivated by the design.

If you are not familiar with April Reed's Designs - they are clean, modern and sophisticated......and then there's the taste - AMAZING! We are thrilled to be working with April again.

Cupcake Accessories

While reading the Something Old Something New Blog today I saw these adorable cupcake wrappers that Mackenzie posted about.

First I was hungry, then I started to think about what a perfect food cupcakes are. In my house we make miniature cupcakes - and stack them with frosting into buildings , towers, you name it we build it.

At weddings it is fun to pass cupcakes while guests are mingling after dinner. Pass bite size pieces for an added surprise after the cake has been served! I love passed items as much after dinner as before-- how great would passed cupcakes be with a demitasse cup of hot chocolate on the side?

Hmmm.. I wonder if I could design an entire reception around cupcakes - hot chocolate and champagne ?
Might be fun! Scratch that ..Would be fun!
