Ostrich feathers are one of my favourite wedding decorations.  They look so glamorous and they work beautifully in wedding aisles, table centrepieces, in bridal bouquets and so much more.  They scream glamour and style and they really are very easy to work with.
If you’re wanting to create a glamorous table centrepiece using ostrich feather drabs, [...]

I adore the Two Love Birds party supplies at Pink Frosting for weddings, engagements, bridal showers and kitchen teas.  The bird icon in black with a stunning vine and leaf pattern on a Tiffany blue background is a standout range for these celebrations – unusual, sweet and truly sophisticated.

I was contacted by a customer last [...]

 
It’s the time of year when we’re all thinking more about entertaining – the weather is warmer, our gardens are blooming, the ingredients in the supermarkets are superb, and Christmas is just around the corner.  The wonderful events planning team at Pink Frosting has been busy putting together great “how-to’s” to help you create a [...]

I must admit that I’m a pretty late bloomer when it comes to Halloween.  Being such an American tradition, we didn’t celebrate it in Australia when I was growing up.  Watching Halloween specials of the Cosby Show, Roseanne (yes, I confess), the Simpsons and Beverly Hills 90210 was about as spooky as it got around [...]

If you’re anything like me, you know a party needs three things – delicious wine, great decorations, and cake. Being the fashionista that I am, there’s never going to be a plain cake at my parties! I want my cake to be memorable, especially if it’s for a special occasion.  And not that I have [...]

Pink Frosting is getting some Japanese influence!  And, no don’t worry, Pink Frosting is still Australia’s number one online wedding shop and will continue to be so!
Personally, however, I’m making a huge journey as my husband has been posted to live in Tokyo for three years.  We’ve packed up our house in Canberra and we’re [...]

I was flattered to be interviewed by Cosmopolitan Pregnancy magazine for their Spring edition (out now with Catriona Rowntree on the cover) about what it means to be a successful Mumpreneur.  In great company, with other Mumpreneurs such as Narelle Chenery of Miessence and Ally Schultz of Minimink, I thought I would share the full [...]

I’ve been posting my cake of the week for some time now and while I love every single one of the cakes I’ve featured, this cake is going down as my new favourite.   This Marie Antoinette themed wedding cake by Cake As Art in San Francisco is a superb example of fine sugarcraft.
The wedding, held [...]

Wedgewood Jasperware is one of those classic looks that just about every entertainer in the world adores.  I just had to share these gorgeous Jasperware inspired decorated cookie favours by Sweetambs on Etsy. 

Sweetambs cookies are made from a basic sugar cookie recipe, which is then flavoured with fresh orange zest, vanilla beans, and a hint [...]

My Great Aunty Ivy was a master cake decorator of the best kind – exact, creative and very generous with her young great-niece.  She spent countless hours teaching me how to mould fondant into little flowers, shapes and creatures.  Aunty Ivy passed away last week and I wanted to dedicate a post to her.  I [...]
