Little Miss Party Planner Events

Hope everyone is having a fabulous August week!  I wanted to share some of the treats I made for the wonderful parties that Little Miss Party Planner put together this spring and summer.  I have included the links for each party so you can check out their entire spread and beautiful decorations!

For a 30th birthday party on a boat in April, I made mini lemon meringue tarts, white chocoalte covered oreos, cheesecake pops AND the cake.  The birthday boy loved Kite Surfing :) LMP did a such a great job with the nautical theme.

For a 40th brithday party I made some fun cupcakes with an old photo from when the birthday boy was little as well as some 40 cake pops!  Don't you just love the way LMP displays everything!?!

For Seri's (one of the LMP owners), son's bris she put together an amazing party only a week after she gave birth!  This had a fun "Got Milk" theme and she used some pictures that were captured in the hospital.  I made "Got Milk" cookies, cupcakes, cow cake pops and some white chocolate covered oreos with an L for Luke! 

 For a lovely rustic bridal shower, I made some chocolate espresso cookies, pie pops and purple glitter cake pops!

 

We both share the same wonderful and talented photographer, Raquel, from Raquel Bianca Creative, and Raquel's sisters asked LMP to plan her Bridal Shower.  LMP centered the theme around Long Beach Island, where they are getting married, but added in a lot of cool camera props as well :)  If you check out Raquel's website you can see her cool paper design that she did for her wedding. For the party I had the pleasure of making some mini pie tarts, chocolate espresso cookies and some really cool camera cookies!

  

Autism Speaks

I was honored to be apart of an event for such a wonderful organization.  An incredible and scary fact that I learned while I was there is that 1 in every 110 children and 1 in every 70 boys are affected by Autism. Autism Speaks has helped raised awareness for this wide spread disease and is the largest contributor to research. The committee put on a fabulous event last week at the Juliet Supper Club and I wanted to share some of the treats that I did for them.  

I had the pleasure of meeting the photographer Debbie Miracolo (debbie@debbiemiracolo.com), who was nice enough to share her photos with me.  She did a wonderful job capturing my food and some great candid photos from the event (Check out more pictures from the event).  She specializes in events and portraiture, so the next time you have an event or need a photographer for your children she is great!  

Little Miss Party Planner

Over the past few months I have had the pleasure of doing some treats for Little Miss Party Planner (LMP).  The owner Seri and her partner Michelle both had previous careers at JCrew like me!  We actually did not know each other there but were introduced by a mutual colleague.  Together they have started a fabulous little party planning company that specializes in small spaces (for all of us that live in Manhattan).  So the next time you are having a birthday or a special event and you want someone to plan and caterer an amazing little party make sure to think of them!  In the mean time I wanted to share some recent events that they did and I supplied some treats for.

Most recent was the Girls Night Out with Benefit Cosmetics that they did for 100 Layer Cake and I made cheesecake cake pops for it.

They put on an adorable yellow and grey Baby Shower for their friend Rachel and I made gold dusted cake pops and the poodle cookie pops favors.

In the spring I made cake pops and banana pops for their 40th birthday brunch party.

Have a great weekend :)

I am not sure where the last week went!  We went on a short vacation to visit each of our families at their summer vacation spots.  It was so nice to get away for a bit and enjoy some sun and sand.

I have been very busy since I have been back and wanted to catch you up with what I have been up to :)

Before I left, I brought the treats for the Tara Keely trunk show to Lovely Bridal.  They have the most adorable shop on West 4th Street, with an cute iron gate and an exposed brick wall inside (I am really jealous).

This week I have been working on a lot of wedding favors! This must be a popular weekend because I had two wedding favor jobs and I am going to a wedding.  

Angela & Kyle are getting married on Long Beach Island on Saturday and had a beach/pink theme

Cristina and her fiance's wedding invitation had purple and green owls and butterflies so they asked me to make favors to match :)

Congrats to all!

Tara Keely at Lovely....

For all of you brides out there Lovely Bridal Shop is having a Tara Keely trunk show next week.  I am super excited to be apart of the event on Thursday.  I am creating a cupcake and cake pop tower that I will be sure to share with you next week!  Details are below and every bride should come!

Wedding Salon Bootcamp

Last week the Wedding Salon hosted a fabulous event at Mark Ingram's Bridal Shop.  I was honored to be apart of a panel of experts who spoke to newly engaged brides about the industries latest trends.  

Some of the panelists included; Shawn Rabideau Events & Design, Mark Ingram Bridal Atelier, Greenwich Jewelers, World Yacht and more. Below are some tips and trends from me and the experts!  

• Continuous cocktail party receptions with stations, small plates and appetizers are becoming very popular.
• Always start your planning process with a budget.  Having a planner is key and can really help you keep on track and relieve the stress.

• Having two dresses is a very big trend, the first dress will be more formal and the second dress will be fun/sexy and casual.
• You want to make sure your dress makes you feel like yourself.
• The total time for your dress can take between 6-8 months.
• Not everyone is having a wedding cake or if they do it is smaller and they and choosing to spend on a dessert table instead.
• Smaller items like mini cookies, cupcakes and cake pops are definitely the most popular.
