GC Wedding Expo...in Instagram pics

 

Phew! What a week it's been! We've been baking up a storm getting ready for the Wedding Expo that was on this Sunday past. Baking and rolling and dipping and sprinkling....

We had wanted to do 1000 cake pops for the Expo (to hand out to the brides),  but only made it to just over 600. Still we were happy with that. We didn't really get a chance to take any good photos, so here's some pics from our iPhones using instagram...

We got to meet some of our facebook followers in person, which was pretty awesome :) All 600 cake pops were gone by the end of the day...and i one point someone even offered to buy the ones off our display table! Ha! 

We also met some other cool wedding specialists, and in fact plan on doing a little shout out post on some of our faves from the day (sometime this week) so make sure to pop back and check them out, especially if you plan on getting married on the GC anytime soon ;)

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Inspire Magazine Launch

We were recently had the pleasure of styling a dessert table and candy buffet for the launch of the third edition of Inspire Magazine.  Inspire Magazine targets teens and young women by teaching them to respect themselves & providing them with the knowledge & strength to make good decisions.  It's all about liking yourself, appreciating your body and valuing the unique person that you are!  When Di from the Gold Coast Centre Against Sexual Violence contacted us to see if we could design a candy buffet in hot pink and black to keep with the magazine colours, we were excited.

Due to the large number of young girls that would be attending the launch, we decided to split the candy buffet and dessert table.  On the candy buffet table the hot pink Inspire logo popped against the black backboard and black skirt, then the whole look was softened with some draped pink satin material and a mixture of hot pink, light pink and white pom poms.  For the lolly selection we went with old fashioned pink & black lollipops, heart beats, black & white rock candy, milk bottles, mini musks, mini mints, black cats, licorice and hot pink wrapped chocolates.  The takeaway boxes were decorated with the Inspire logo and black ribbon.

For the dessert table, we arranged a mixture of cake stands on a table that stood in the middle of the balcony.  To keep with the black and hot pink colour palette, we made chocolate and vanilla cake pops, mini cupcakes, chocolate brownies, chocolate biscuits, snowball biscuits and coconut ice.  A big thank you to Eve from the The LIttle Cupcake and Cookie Shop for making such gorgeous mini cupcakes that had the most perfect coloured pink icing for our table.

A big thank you must also go out to our wonderful friend Zina who helped us with so many elements of this table!

Circus Dessert Table...

On the weekend we had the pleasure of styling a dessert table for a gorgeous little seven year old girl.  The birthday girl wanted a table styled in a bright and colourful colour palette.  Since pony rides and clowns were already booked for the bash, we thought a circus theme would be fitting.

On the table, a six tier rainbow cake took centre stage, surrounded by cupcakes, ticket biscuits, clown cakepops, lollies, drinks and of course, no circus can be complete without fairy floss and popcorn!  Pinwheels in jars added extra colour and since the handle was made using a Smiggles pencil and eraser, it was not only colourful decoration but doubled as party favours.

 

Hope this brightened your winters day!

Animal biscuits were made by Hello Naomi.

Cake toppers were made by Hello Naomi and old fashioned Cobbers, Kool Mints and Red Frogs filled the candy jars.

Barn Yard milk cartons were designed by the gorgeous Jordan from Polkadot Prints. These were used as take away favour boxes.

Homemade choc chip cookies were bottled into cute little bottles and topped with red gingham fabric. We found a 'From the Kitchen of' stamp at Riots Craft shop and stamped them onto sticker paper.

Each child was give a straw hat on arrival with their name on them.

We set up a photo booth with cute “think” bubbles, moustaches and glasses and took photo’s on a Polaroid camera that the guests were instantly able to take home memories of the day. Big thank you to our amazingly talented friend Zina who help us with these.

Some of the polaroid photos from the day!

Cute Pops

On the weekend we made these cute cakepops for a special event.   The brief - different characters for a little boys birthday party, no particular theme, just in reds, blues, whites, and oranges.  To be honest, at first we hit a temporary mental block!  But after a brainstorming session over a coffee, we drafted some ideas and this is what we came up with.  We think we pulled it off!  What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

We are taking orders for these cakepops.  If you would like to see any of these cute designs at your next party please email info@rubyju.com.au for more information and prices.
