Happy Friday everyone, I hope you’re all having a wonderful end to the week. I’ve been in the kitchen all morning baking a delicious wedding cake, so I thought I would share some lovely Red Velvet Cupcakes – they’re such a classic cupcake and would be perfect treat to bake over the weekend. I hope you all have a lovely weekend planned, oh and don’t forget to enter the wonderful LET LIV’s Kitchen Week Giveaway, it’s beyond gorgeous! x

There really is something magical about a simple, yet elegant dessert table. I love how it’s not overly cluttered and that the cakes, flowers and gorgeous props are able to shine through – plus the colour palette is perfect! Beautifully styled by the very talented Leanne from Sweet Style, this really is such a lovely dessert table. x

Happy Monday everyone, I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend – how incredible has the weather been, so so summery and warm! We celebrated a friends birthday with a little friendly(ish) paintball fire, so much fun, and we all have a few battle wounds to show off. I find that while the weather is so warm it can be a little uninspiring to bake, but there is nothing like a lemon curd cupcake to make you persevere with the heat – plus they don’t take long to make which is wonderful! I’d love to hear what yummy things you’ve been baking during summer. x

I love this time of the year, Christmas and holiday time is just around the corner and we are spoilt for choice with lots of delicious summer berries! I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for raspberries, they’re just so delicious and they pair beautifully with so many baked goods – I couldn’t think of a more perfect time of the year to whip up a few batches raspberry curd to add to your cakes, cupcakes or even give as a gift for the baker in your family. x

Well what a beautiful sunny week it’s been! It may be with the sun shinning, the lovely care package I received from my mom, the fact that I FINALLY got to do my nails last night for the first time in weeks, or just the overall lovely feeling in the air that has resulted with this week’s particularly pink girly weekly roundup!

2. How inviting and relaxing does that bed look? Love the details on the duvet…
3. These amazing postcards by Present and Correct are filled with confetti – who wouldn’t love to receive something like that in the post?!
4. This handsome fella is wearing the perfect accessory for any wee one this wedding season, clever makings by The Wedding Chicks.
5. Let’s just say I don’t think anyone would be upset to receive these beauties as a gift… *wink wink*
6. Stitch Design Co. is a lovely stationery company in the us with a fantastic eye for detail
7. And because it’s almost the weekend and I’m craving sweets like crazy this week – another cake!

Happy Friday everyone – how lovely is it that the sun is shining, it’s so much nicer than cold rain! I’m beyond excited and so flattered to be able to share this stunning styled shoot with you, I love that gold is so popular at the moment, it’s just so pretty and works so beautifully with lovely soft pastels! How absolutely stunning is the soft table setting styled by the enormously talented All the Frills, you would feel oh so special dining at that table then getting to enjoy a few sweet treats from the dessert table by Bluebells Cakery before smashing the living day lights out of gilded piñata - it sounds like the perfect party!! This beautiful shoot was perfectly organised and photographed by the wonderfully talented Ellie from Jel Photography – she also made a little time lapse of the day, it’s so fantastic you have to watch it!
