The Full House Lottery dream homes are absolutely spectacular these year, so if you are interested in checking out the latest home trends, visit the three dream homes, located in Windermere.
Green with Envy
This dessert table was inspired by the significance of March 17 and the glamour of the Full House Lottery's grand prize one dream home. Full House Lottery is the fundraising venture of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation and the University Hospital Foundation in Edmonton. Every year, the lottery kicks off with a celebration at the grand prize homes. This year, the lottery launch happened to be on St. Patrick's Day, so green was definitely the colour of the event. We wanted to use a shade of green that is soft and elegant and in some way complements the sophisticated interior of the home. My favourite caketress Amanda from Bluebird Cakes designed this gorgeous cake, the mini cupcakes and the oreo truffles. The salted caramel and the pistachio macarons were purchased from the Duchess Bake Shop.

Retro Circus Birthday Party
Well, this was FUN- putting together a circus themed party for my son's second birthday. This event planning experience brought me back to time when the "Circus was in Town". I grew up is a small town in Eastern Europe, and I still remember the excitement of hearing the circus trucks honking their horns and letting us know that the greatest show on Earth is coming to our little town. Cotton candy and candy apples were the best treat for me and my friends!
As a kid, this was a very special time for me, so I wanted to create a dessert table that is fun and playful and captures the nostalgic look and feel of that era.
I bought a really cute printable birthday package from Dimple Prints via Etsy that I used throughout the party. For the invitation, I filled ziploc bags with coloured gumballs and placed the invitation details on the wrapping. Amanda from Bluebird Cakes designed this incredible circus cake and the elephant cookies to match the printables. The details on the cake and the cookies were unbelievable. I also served: popcorn, candy apples, oreo pops, candy and white chocolate covered strawberries. I found the inflatable Bozo (The World's most famous clown from 1960s) and the matching money banks in Winners. They matched my colours so well. We played different carnival games and I think everyone had a great time, especially me!
Here are some photos from the party.

Love is in the Air: My Valentine's Day Muse
The most romantic holiday is coming up , so I wanted to share some fabulous Valentine's day ideas for those who love beautiful, sweet and romantic things. If you are planning a special dinner for your sweetheart, you can never go wrong with desserts and sweets. I came across this gorgeous dessert table by LMG Events on the Pizzazzerie blog. It is so elegant and glamorous. " I am Baker" posted a tutorial on how to make this super cute cake with a red velvet heart inside. It is actually quite easy. If you love baking and want to try it, check out the tutorial here.
I have never thought of freezing mini roses into ice cubes. I think this will add a romantic twist to the traditional champagne. If you are interested in decorating your home for Valentine's day, check out this super creative idea of using cupcake liners to design a wreath for your front door. And that super cute little valentine in the end is my muse - my sweet daughter Julia.
Happy Planning! And don't forget that the most important aspect of all things for Valentine's Day is not price but thoughtfulness and creativity.

Mexico-inspired Bridal Shower
It was a fun night of margaritas, salsa dancing and dessert...in Sherwood Park.
Back in November, I created a dessert table for the bridal shower of a friend.The lovely couple was getting married on the sunny and beautiful Mayan Riviera, so the event theme was Mexico. I wanted to create a table that not only works with the Mexican theme, but also captures the bride's personality and style. She is lively, joyful and energetic. Inspired by the vibrant colours of the Mexican architecture, the joy of the sun and the calming beauty of water, I came up with the blue and yellow combination. I really think that the lace added some glamour and pizazz to the overall look. We served: lemon bars, mini tiramisu, chocolate cupcakes, and truffles.
The bridesmaids putted together the appetizers table which had a traditional Mexican look. I just love the idea of using sombreros as party plates for the tortilla chips.
The bride, who is by the way, a super talented photographer, captured the night in all its beauty. She keeps on amazing me with her work. Check out Joyful Emotion to view her portfolio.
